As I read the article “Underground Dads” by Will Haygood I saw that not everyone has it like me. I grew up with both my parents and got everything I wanted. I really admire two people in my life: those people would be my mother and my sister. The reason is that they both showed me how to be an independent woman. I am so grateful to have them in my life and that they have taught me how to live and helped me become the person I am today. I'll start by talking about my amazing mother and how she has helped me in the long run. My mother taught me to never rely on anyone and to be able to do whatever I put my mind to. He also told me that life is full of mistakes and that I will always learn from them. He taught me how to cook. The person I am today reflects on my mother and sister because they taught me well and how to be a lady. I stay classy, ​​never rubbish. I am a respectful and kind girl. I get along with everyone, unless you're on my bad side. I hate drama, so don't ever bring it to me. I'm a really relaxed person, I like to have fun and travel the world. There are many things I want to accomplish in life. I want to become a radiologist, it will take a long time to become one, but I will do whatever it takes. I also want to open a homeless shelter once I get older and start earning that nice cash. I feel sorry for those who have nowhere to stay. I see so many of them when I lived in Atlanta and I just want to make a change in their lives. One thing I'm trying to accomplish this year is get As and have a 4.0 GPA. Once I achieve this, I plan to transfer to Florida State University and finish my studies there. It's all up to me to do whatever it takes to achieve the goals I've set for myself. I have changed a lot, I was lazy and never wanted to do anything and I saw school as a place just to get out of the house, but now I saw that school is much more than that. Without my education I won't do anything unless I see myself working in a fast food restaurant my whole life. And I don't see my future doing that. School is my main focus, I had to change the way I saw things and I'm sure I'll do great in college as long as I put in the effort. Whenever I become that radiologist I'm sure they will be proud of me. I am once again grateful that they talk to me and help me whenever I need it and if I ever need to say or ask them anything, they are here. I love them through and through, even when I almost gave up in high school, they were there telling me that I could do it and do my best and I would overcome anything. I have many goals I want to achieve this year, including learning a better study habit, not being so shy, always smiling even if I'm not having a good day because you never know someone else might not have a good day, and seeing you smile could brighten their day, be active on campus, have fun in clubs, the most important thing would be getting scholarships. I know that if I am determined to achieve these goals, I can achieve them all. As the year progresses I'm sure I too will have my own goals to achieve. I can say that I am a strong and independent girl who stands up for herself and I never let anyone run over me. I might seem like a bad person, but I'm anything but that, unless you are
