Hello my name is Nicole I am a senior at LHS, Here you will be reading a little about me and my life, here in the small town of Lindsay, CA. Describing a little about struggles I had to endure as a child, entering school and last you will be learning about my family and the struggles my parents had to go through in raising me.
As a child the first language I was taught to speak was none other than Spanish my parents felt it was better that learning Spanish first was important because knowing a second language would help me out later in life when it came to looking for jobs, eventually learned I began to speak the language and became a very fluent speaker in Spanish as a child. Then it came time to enter school, my parents felt so proud that their daughter knew how to speak another language then the other children, but what they did not realize was that work for their child was about to get challenging. When I began school the work was hard to understand for I wasn't fluent in English this made it hard to keep on track with the rest of the class, the teachers took a notice in this because of the grades and how they were dropping at a very quick rate. Both of my parents began to teach me english, they stayed up in the night assisting that reading would help to improve in reading, writing.
The teachers then informed both my parents that their daughter's grade was still below, the teachers then decided that the only way for me to improve was to be enrolled into a class with students that also didn't speak very well in English. From that point on I attended sessions with student to try and learn how to properly speak English like the rest of the learners, learning to speak English properly took sometime and a whole lot of effort to reach the standards that were required by the school, both parents of mine spent all their time to get me far in learning how to properly speak English.
Both mine parents sacrificed so much to get their children far in life, to get them somewhere far in life without them we would all be clueless about what life has instored for us, I never tell them how grateful they are to us. They spend everyday working hard to earn their money to then spend on us, now they are saving up enough money to get me enrolled into college so that their daughter can get far in her education.
The plan I have set for after high school is to attend college for 4 years to gain all the knowledge that is needed for the job I will get after. There is a long list of colleges that are set up for me to apply for in the near future, the colleges that are on top of the list are SF State, San Cruz University, Long Beach State, Ferson State, and last COS before the school year ends all these colleges I have chosen will have given a response to me informing about if I got accepted into the school. This is my last year to make sure that all the hard work, restless nights, non-giving effort pays off in the end, for that I know what is out there for me can come is going to be a blur at first but the harder I work the more clear the pictures becomes, as of right now the image is still a blur but the closer I come to it the image is becoming clear to me. Through all the struggles that endured me things are coming to focus in life for me as I am head on strong to reach my goals and I have no limits to my boundaries, for everything comes with a price and meaning.
