Who I wanna be


Who I want to Be

 

In college I hope to become a success story for my family.  I wish to study things like business, economics, pharmacy, and maybe law. I hope to become a pharmacist, doctor, attorney or an international business woman. 

 I want college so bad it hurts; I want to push myself past the limit to succeed in this life and even though I don’t know exactly what I am going to be, I know exactly what I’m not going to be; I will never be my mother or my father, never falling into that dead end lifestyle that they have settled into. I’m not criticizing my mother because I know that she wants me to be better than her too, doing things she never got the chance too. I know that she would never want me to be on drugs like my father or a single mother struggling like herself because thats not who i wanna be and it's certainly not who i wanna become.
