My name is John Gonzalez and I am 17 years old. Pursuing my goal of becoming a successful accountant. My will to pursue higher education is driven by the motivation of making my mom proud because growing up without a father and having an immigrant mother makes me want to make her proud by showing her I can be just as capable as others and have a good career. Another thing I must add is that I am also trilingual, having grown up in a Spanish-speaking household I have grown up being able to speak both English and Spanish, and throughout my years of my years in Highschool I have willingly taken the full four years of German language available to me. And Because of my classes with my German teacher Herr. Shade, I have been allowed to participate in the GAPP exchange that allows a Kid from Germany to come over for some time, and in return, I am allowed to do the same. Finally, I want to be the first person in my family to get a degree and become a certified public accountant at the end of my education.
