    My father went to the Air Force when he was around 18-19 years old. He enlisted in his senior year of high school. And didn’t get the chance to get as much of the college experience or the level of education, he wanted to. I feel like I owe it to him and my mother. They have both sacrificed so much for my brothers and me. I just want to go do something big for them. I want to be a first-generation college student to make a change in my family. I can see myself doing big things and helping my family out big time. They mean so much to me and I would do anything to bring a high level of success to my family. College is very important to me and I love them so much. I have always wanted to go to college and that is one of my bigger goals in life. My future somewhat revolves around going to college. It just seems like something that would help out my family and myself. I am doing this for more than just me. I am doting him for the people around and the ones that believe in me. School hasn't always been easy for me bug has it been easy for anyone. The only way I have overcome the difficulty over these years is because my dad and mom pushing me to be the best person I can be. I wouldn't be where I am today without them. I owe them the world. I want to pay them back in the only reasonable way I think I can and that is being the person they raised me to be. There has been so much personal failure in my life but I have got through it with the people in my corner. They are the reason I have got through it all. They keep pushing me to be successful and I don't know where I would be without them. I have made it through everything because of them and I wouldn't be able to be the person I am without them. I am a strong young man because I was reused to shake things off and forgive those who do me wrong. I have to give the people in my life the credit here because I am not the person I am without them. I have surpassed all of my problems in life because of them.
