People have often asked me why I like to learn and go to school. To that question, at least for me, there is not just one simple answer. My life has not always been easy, but I have learned how to manage my life, and to push through all of the obstacles life has thrown my way.
Throughout my life so far, I have been thrown many hard classes and other matters that I have had to complete. I have, through the years, found multiple ways to help me manage my time wisely and effectively so as to complete as much as I can every single day. I am up early in the morning and I go to bed late. From the time I wake up until the time that I go to bed, I do everything that I can to make the day worthwhile.
For as long as I can remember, my life has not been easy. I have been setback numerous times, but I have not been held back by my setbacks. The setbacks I encounter are obstacles to an eventual greater success in life, and through the power of education, I have been able to surpass those obstacles and achieve more in life.
In the end, education allows me to express my potential in life, and it allows me to show others how hard I have had to work to get where I am today.
