As a 17 year old boy who has lived under a low income family household for all of my life, we have had lots of big and small challenges under our lives and family; some that were traumatic, dramatic, or even stressful, but as an individual who swears to keep their profile at an all time high, I always kept one thing that I never gave up since the start of my life: "hope." The golden word that tells you to never give up on your missions and dreams in life. I have always had a type of perseverance as I push through challenging obstacles with hope and negligence in success, so I consider that I have a focus and a purpose to keep going. If there were to be at least a problem that is to do with food or living towards family, I will most certainly always try my best to bring it to the table and brainstorm my way to an agreeable solution. I tend to have a creative mind so it almost never fails. When it comes to education, I always have the choice to stop doing what I do or keep going and never give up; however, I will never stop. Because if I stop, I won't be complete, so I have to keep pushing to succeed as I make sure I am on the right track. That is how I currently have a strong record in high school and I plan to cap it off on senior year to plan for my future. I sometimes wonder to myself; if I pursue something bigger than what I dream for, would that be the end? I always think it is, but I know the real answer is always going to be no. It is a challenge that is almost all of the time overlooked. You can mostly figure out that once you finish something, there is something that is waiting for you next in line. Once I complete high school, I wont be done because I have the option to go to college. This would be the example of perseverance and never giving up to make sure my life is at its fullest. That brings to the golden word: "Hope." If I bring up this word, it means I will always tend to be serious and make sure I will keep going until I am at the finish line. To conclude, remember these two words in sequence: "Keep going."
