Starting With the End by Clayton - April 2024 Scholarship Essay
My academic goals are but a stepping stone to where I want to be in life. Where is that you ask? I want to be a good husband, father and member of society. I want my wife and kids to know they can depend on me in every way. I see the relationship my parents have with each other and I want that. Aside from finding the right woman, I will also need to be able to provide for my family. I want a career that will allow me to provide comfortably for my family, but not take me away from them. I want to be able to help my wife and be there for my kids. Getting a degree in engineering is my plan to accomplish this goal.
My dad is able to provide for our family, but is away from home for his job most of the time. I see other family members struggle to provide for their families because of the choices they have made. While I love them and respect how hard they have to work, I know that I want better for my family. Therefore, I'm able to keep on track with the end in mind.
