I grew up in a big family. My family is very close and when you sit with them, you never get bored or feel lonely. Since I was eight years old, I have become addicted to the piano and the classical music. I learned how to play and it became my other world that I rely on. And when I grow up, I really want to learn more and teach others how to play and what to listen to. I spend my free time in reading different kinds of books and I really enjoy it. What I really like about myself is that when I want to do something, I do it, no matter what happens and how hard it is.
When I was in middle school, I had a lovely English teacher and she was just like my mother and my best friend. She made me read books to make me more curious about this world. She was the person who made me love English and always get the highest grades in class. I used English to write and to express my feelings. When I grew up, I studied as hard as I could, hoping to reach my dream of becoming the person that I want to be. I want to be successful in my life and I don’t want to be like the others.
My father is my idol and my inspiration. He worked really hard to become an engineer. When I was a little kid, he used to take me to work with him and when I saw him working on cars and other vehicles, I was inspired by how complicated and hard it is. I wanted to know how they work and how can you fix them. I left my passion for music and other stuff and I decided to work hard at school in order to reach my dream of being a successful engineer just like my father.
When you grow up in a big family with four sisters, you learn a lot from them and sometimes you imitate them without noticing. I tried so hard not to imitate them and I wanted to be unique. Even though like most teens, I faced many challenges in high school but in the end, I did it because I worked really hard. When I grew up, I decided to study abroad. My family didn’t like the idea of studying abroad because of our strict religion. I tried really hard to convince them every day until they accepted.
Studying alone in a new country is not easy at all and you will face many challenges and obstacles. When I came to the United States, I felt lonely and I had no one. After days and weeks, I had many friends from all over the world and I really liked my decision of studying abroad. When you decide something, you must be strong and you must reach your dreams and goals no matter how long the road is. I never imagined seeing myself as an engineer.
But when I came to the United States to see my sister who studies engineering in Charlotte, I really liked the idea of being an engineer like my father. And I realized that it is my goal and I must reach it. Reaching your dreams and your goals is very hard and you will face many problems and challenges but once you want something, no one can stop you. In the end, I must focus very well on my goal of becoming an engineer in order to make my family very proud of their youngest daughter.
