College by Josue - April 2020 Scholarship Essay

Someone's past has been a way to determine their present. Based on occurrence and importance characteristics help shape their own person. In my case, my whole environment was somewhat emotionally but yet great. Whether it was with my relationships with friends and family or what me and my family have been through. Obviously, I was a lot younger and still did not comprehend most of the things. But those things started to unlock as I grew older and understood how things were being processed.
Me and my family are used to moving from house to house in this city. We were trying to find the right place for us. It was a real struggle. I was facing challenges because everything in a new environment was new to me, it would be new and frustrating. New friends, playground, schools so in that case, I'm more open to new places and adventurous and learned the lesson through that way that it's okay to step into places just to find the right environment for you. Keep battling to find your true self and adventure new things. This gave me a big jump into the real life situations and how to manage it. As I said, once I grew older I started to understand adult-like things.
Furthermore, Another thing that has made me the person I am today was my relationships with my siblings. I wasn't really close to them and didn't really and don't like the same things. They were my older siblings so maybe that's why I don't play with them because I was younger and they were teens. Like typical teens, they have been through change and realization about their own personal life and situations. Once again, I was younger so I didn't understand most of the things they were going through in their years while i was just playing with my car toys. One thing I do remember is that they always told me to not worry, and so I didn't. Thanks to them I learned to also really care about families feelings as much as yours and not just them but everyone because you never know what they're going through. This shaped me into a better, caring, mature individual and I'm proud that I learned a lot from my family because without them I wouldn't know what I would be today. I want to show them that I’m capable of doing big things in life. And that is going to college, expanding my architecture career because I’m really passionate about it and plan to do it for the rest of my life. Show my friends and family that no matter what you have been through, challenging yourself and doing what it takes to make you a stronger person, will get you far in life.
Therefore, My past all together has actually shaped me into someone more unique than most students. I see problems as a battle. So this brings me to a conclusion on what my environment and things I have been through alongside with my family, have changed and shaped me into the person I am today.
