Never Give Up I would like to thank God for the loving kindness He has shown to me and my family. It has been said that life can never be carried forward and truly lived to its fullest without there having been some sort of suffering and pain. Mistakes are lessons to learn from, and a difficult past can only lead to a stronger present. While many may believe they are alone in their misery, the truth is that this is not the case. Everyone has difficulties. We all have our ups and downs, but what really matters is how we react to them. Life is life. In any case, giving up on your lifelong dreams and aspirations because of some bump in the road should never be an option. My high school life began when I was in Nigeria. I don't think before and I don't even know before doing things. I was the kind of girl who didn't care much about my grades, but some of my friends really cared about their grades. In some of my tests or quizzes I always thought that there was no need for me to study so much. Then I thought about myself in elementary or middle school that I was mostly the best student in my class and I thought about some of my bad grades I got and I started wondering where these bad grades will take me or is there something that I did something wrong in my life. On a faithful day, when my government English instructor notices that only a few people get perfect scores on their tests and will reward them. On the other hand, the professor told us "that we can all do it, if we all believe in ourselves and we don't have to give any excuses because not even bad grades will get us anywhere, but wishing we could improve and improve our grade because they are ready to help us and think of ourselves as people... middle of paper... My research has not changed, but I am currently still a student at Antelope Valley College it is part of the journey I have to go through and continue to work hard. However, my dream university is to become a student at California State University, Long Beach. I want to have the opportunity to be part of the students there because I have heard many good things about the University and I try not to say it. you down, because I want to show myself the way, be part of school sports and bring out the best in me. I believe your opportunity will help me make my family proud of me at any time the student of California State University of Long Beach will make me feel that I'm closer to my dream and I'm not done yet until I accomplish everything in my life, and to make me work harder in everything I do.
