MY COLLEGE ESSAY
By: Zulema Santos
I come from a Latin American family. I describe my family as lovely because I really get along with them.In my family there’s 3boys, 3girls,3nephews, and 1 niece, my mom, and dad i really funny & loving.I describe my community as dangerous and trashy because I always watch the news & they say that they had kidnapped a girl or a woman and I see trash as I walk to school. As you can see I think its trashy because when I walk in the streets I see broken bottles. I see gang members & that actually makes me want to go to college so I can get a better life than other people that don’t want to go. When I see violence and gang members not going to school I feel upset that they don’t want to do something important in their life.
Some opportunities I have in my school is getting prepared & getting good grades to go to college. My community gives me some opportunities like if I don’t get to go to college I can work like in stores or other shops. Some issues I have with my family is that they don’t have good jobs. Two of my sisters work in cleaning houses and they don’t even get paid allot. One of my sisters and her husband work in dry cleaners. My dad works in cleaning cars and my mom babysits kids. That’s difficult because they earn a little bit of money and they have to pay allot of bills.
Going to college will help my family and I because when I graduate from college I will get a job & I will help them with what they need. This is affecting me by persuading me to go to college. I chose this because I see that my family are in need & I really would like to help them with jobs. When I grow up I would like to be doctor. The kind of doctor I would want to be is pediatrician. The thing i would want to change is that I would want my family to have better jobs because they have a allot of things that they want for their daughter’s or son’s and they cant because they work hard just to get money to pay bills and to give their son’s what to eat. I would like to be a doctor because when I go to a restaurant I have to choose my moms plate because she has diabetes. This helps me because it makes me want to be healthy so i wont have to pass the sickness & so I can accomplish my dream this is a challenge because sometimes i finish my homework late because i have to help my mom .
What does college mean to me? College means when I have a career & I get to help my mom with diabetes & when I accomplish my dream for the future. Some experiences I want from college are singing, sports, and fashion courses. Thanks for reading my college essay.
