Step 2 Tell Project

Three moments that represent my past, my present, and my future.

The Past:

When I was about 6 years old, my mom informed me that my dad and her were getting a divorce. Most children would be upset, but not me. I was more anxious. My mom was leaving a bad situation in order to better her three kids lives. She was leaving everything behind, stepping out of her comfort zone of stability, to try and improve our situation. My mom is now a signal parent with three kids she was trying to support. Her mission was to make life easier. My mom is an inspiration to me. Taking on the risk of the unknown and responsibility was a huge honorable thing. My mom wanted nothing more then to make us have a happier, easier, and better life.

The Present:

When I went to college, I knew that I was going to school to become a teacher. I want to become an educator in order to help children. I want to make kids lives easier and show them that they can be successful in life. I want to give back. Giving back is extremely important to me and I think essential to life. Receiving is nice, but giving is rewarding.

The Future:

Once I complete college, I see myself joining the Peace Corp and going to South Africa to help underprivileged children. I am so fortunate in life, and I want to try and make life easier for kids in extreme conditions. I want to help give them hope and show them life is worth living. I want to help educate them and overall show them the opportunities they have.
