My life goal is to be able to make enough money to support me and my family. My father came to America when he was my age and he always told me to finish school no matter how long it took. I am most passionate about being able to help my family and give back to my parents. I am really passionate about completing college with at least a masters, but I am aiming for a doctoral degree

You are asking me to answer a series of questions that pertain to an important lesson that life has taught me. In just 600 words or less, I am going to answer them all to the best of my ability.
Describe an important life lesson I learned & what it taught me? I think the most important lesson that life has taught me is simply that some people were put on this earth to give more love than they will possibly ever receive. My whole entire life I have always been the last choice, never the first. The people that I grew up to love so very dearly always had someone they loved a lot more. I was always aware of it and it hurt my feelings, but I began to notice that when their first choices weren’t available they would always come to me last. They knew that I was always going to be there for them because of how much I adored them. They would talk their feelings out to me & they would cry to me. I would listen so carefully and I would hold them until they no longer wanted to be held. I never received that amount of love from anyone I ever met. I would be ignored when I asked for help, or spoke about the way I felt, even a simple conversation wouldn’t hold. I never had anyone stick around for long.
How will you use this lesson to help you move forward?
The only thing I was ever good at was being present for everyone, it makes me feel like I have a real purpose in life. It gives me a reason to wake up and go on another day. No matter how poorly people made me feel, I was always there at the end and I think everyone needs someone that refuses to give up on them because they love them too much to hurt them.
How has the experience or lesson made you stronger as a person and in life? I spent so much time asking God what his reasons were for making me so unlovable. I still find myself asking him that question over and over again. I had to deal with everything on my own because everyone I had ever met didn’t care about me. I had to find a way to get every thought out of my head without having to talk to someone because nobody was me. I became more independent and I became more realistic and logical when it came to making decisions and I no longer found myself making choices based on my feelings. But I think knowing that God will someday send someone who will always choose me first and never wants to hurt me, keeps me hanging on a little bit longer.
