    Becoming successful, my family, and finding my purpose are the three crucial things I always consistently remind myself of every day to get through all in a day's work. Becoming successful is above all everyone's goal at the top of their list. Success is a word with various meanings to each person, to me success means failure. I’ve gone through multiple failures in my life, but the most important failures helped me achieve what I always dreamed of to show my family that all their hard work and sacrifices were worth it. Though failure is something I wish to always avoid, I’ve come to realize that it’s what’s vital to come home one day and say I did it. Another thing important to me is my family. My family through thick and thin always supported me in the toughest times and the toughest moments. I had to face the hardship of long-term abuse from my dad and if it weren’t for my mom’s bravery I wouldn’t have been where I am today. I will rarely have the words to explain how much I am thankful for my mom’s sacrifices and hardships that she made to bring me and my siblings to the finish line. I hope that someday, with my hardships, to return the favor to her as she did for me. With time, in the ultimate journey I will take, I wish nothing more than to find a purpose in this meaningful life. I don’t wish to have the purpose of being on a pedestal or someone glorified, but a person who can inspire and motivate others. I find myself willing to do what it takes to fulfill the empty spaces that I’ve always carried. Whether that be a towering mountain to climb or a race with many obstacles, I will find my way to what I was made for in this life.
