One thing I've always held pride in was my ancestry. Unlike most Indian immigrants in the US, my parents didn't come from a family of government officials nor were they of a high caste. My dad had to overcome numerous challenges and obstacles to escape poverty and succeed in his education, starting as the son of a poor farmer in a third-world country. I’ve always been fascinated by my dad's journey from humble beginnings to achieving success in education, and the stories of his struggles and determination have been a constant source of inspiration and motivation for me. Since the moment I was born, he has always been my best friend, guiding me and teaching me, and giving me strength every step of the way. As First-generation American in a predominantly white area of the US (Nebraska) everyone seemed so different from how I and my family looked. As a shy introvert that is often afraid of so many things, like the thick Indian accent I used to have. I don't think I would have grown into the person I am today without his unwavering guidance and support. Growing up, he filled my life with books, music, and TV shows that shaped my life and made me become the person I am today. Some of my fondest memories are of me sitting on the couch and watching my brother and father play video games for hours on end. Although these memories may seem insignificant, it was what sparked an interest in computer programming, and game design in me. I’m time and again inspired by my father who lives boldly and without any fear. Through his example, I've come to understand the transformative power of hard work and perseverance, and the impact it can have on our lives and the lives of those around us.

I’ve always been fascinated by my dad's journey from humble beginnings to achieving success in education, and the stories of his struggles and determination have been a constant source of inspiration and motivation for me. Through his example, I've come to understand the transformative power of hard work and perseverance, and the impact it can have on our lives and the lives of those around us. The COVID-19 pandemic hit at the end of my Freshman year of high school, and I struggled to adapt to online learning. My grades began to suffer, and the isolation and loneliness brought on by the pandemic greatly impacted my mental health. I withdrew from my friends and social activities, and I felt like I had lost my sense of purpose and direction. I felt ashamed and frustrated with myself for not being able to keep up with my schoolwork. My parents took notice of my plummeting grades and were understandably concerned. One day, my dad took off work to talk with me. Instead of lecturing or getting mad at me, he told me a story from his youth. My dad grew up in a poor farming family with four siblings, two sisters and two brothers. All of them dropped out of school to help on the family farm, leaving my dad to shoulder the burden of getting an education. As a result, he faced numerous challenges and obstacles in his pursuit of education. He had to work hard to balance his schoolwork with his responsibilities on the farm, and he often went without food or adequate sleep. When he was in 10th grade, his mother gave him an ultimatum: either quit school and help on the farm or starve. For two days, my dad was not given any food, except for some curdling yogurt that he managed to sneak out of the kitchen. Despite these struggles, my dad was determined to continue his education, and after his parents saw his conviction, they allowed him to continue. I remember my dad's story vividly to this day, and it has always been a source of motivation and inspiration for me. After hearing his story, I switched from online to in-person classes and worked hard to improve my grades. In contrast to the difficult times I experienced during the pandemic, junior year was a time of growth and renewal for me. I was able to focus on my studies and my relationships, and I felt more motivated and optimistic about my future.
