Even though I experienced many hardships in my life, going to college has always been a dream of mine.I persevered through and finally, I am at peace and happy with my life. My dad went to jail when I was two years old in 2007 and he was released in June of 2021. When he was in jail, my grandma was instrumental in providing me with moral support as I went through feelings of abandonment. I loved and depended on her greatly until she passed away from cancer in November of 2013. When she passed, I suffered from depression. I felt like I could not get close to anyone because I feared going through abandonment again. When my dad was released from jail, I expected him to come home. I was hopeful, perhaps naive, to expect the fairytale relationship. Upon his release, he did not even bother reaching out to us. Even though we helped him get out of jail by writing letters to the judge and talking to his lawyers, his lack of interest in my sisters and I really hurt and contributed to my depression again. Soon after this situation he went back to jail again, although I didn’t get to build a relationship with him it hurt to know that he's back in jail. While my mother was always in my life, our relationship was not the greatest. She always encouraged me to be better than her. She works as a medical assistant and sometimes she would lose her job which often led us to be homeless. The fact that she lost her job resulted in us constantly moving back and forth from Fayetteville and charlotte. We lived in Fayetteville with her parents until she would get back on her feet and then moved back to charlotte. Thus, I switched schools a lot and lost friends along the way. Making friends was always a challenge for me because I suffered from social anxiety and abandonment issues. Even though I had issues with my family, I started to focus and learn new skills. I learned how to do nails, lashes, and hair. This brought me so much joy. It helped me to cope and forget about all my problems...if only for a minute. Furthermore, I started to study and learn about different surgeries, and my mother nurtured my love for nursing. She inspired me to become a surgeon. Since my grandmother passed from cancer, I want to become an oncologist thus alleviating the pain patients may have. I also want to help people who may have experienced the loss of a family member from Cancer.
