A better life
I was not awarded the proper role model
I saw my girls drop out of high school
They began working blue collar jobs,
Starting families, none strived to go further
I had no one to look up to,
College was not talked about in my family
I made the decision to push past what others thought I was capable of
I had to dedicate myself to get to college.
With immigrant parents and a low income,
I worked hard to percevier
I am an Ap Student with college accptances,
I will not let anything impede with my vicotry this close to my prize.
I will be the first person in my to not only graduate highschool
But to get a college education
The chance at a real career,
The chance at a better life.
