I can see that my life was very straightforward and uncomplicated. Thanks to my family's care
and nurturing especially my father's affection, I have always enjoyed a simple and carefree
existence. That is until my father and mother had a fight, which had the worst conceivable
consequences. They had an argument at my mother's workplace and my mother did not
accompany him as he headed home, it left my father's mind blank and empty while riding his
motorcycle, little did my father realize that he is unaware of a fast-moving vehicle coming
directly at him, which led to him being sent to the hospital. days and weeks after my mother told
me he didn't make it was too late for me to know that I should have spent a lot of time with my
father while he was still here, I know that it was that moment the biggest turning point of my life,
I started hanging out with my friends instead of going home as a teenager, and I soon found
myself being influenced by them to engage in undesirable behaviors including drinking, partying,
smoking, and more. but I have moved on with my life and I am putting my attention towards
improving myself and continuing with my life, I must study hard enough to make my family and
mostly my father proud. I have learned a lot from my experiences, I've learned from my
mistakes, and these days I try to improve myself every day. I look at every struggle I have as a
lesson in life. I've discovered that no matter what the issue, we must keep going forward and try
to enjoy life to the fullest.

When I was in high school, my biggest dream is to be a businessman and back in the day I
always think that how life becomes so easy when you are financially stable, on my own opinion I
think that being financially stable makes life easier. I know that many people believe that
"money can't buy happiness," but the truth is money can buy what we need and what might
potentially make us happy. My lifetime goal is to become a successful businessman, and I know
that this dream is not easy to achieve and that I would need to overcome many challenges. I
know that I must work hard, study diligently, use good judgment, and consider all my life's
decisions because I grew up like the other children who are not fortunate enough to get what I
desire. Also, I know for a fact that “if you dream big it can be inspiring and fuel your ambitions in
life but if you are not willing to work hard for it, then all you have are just dreams.” Life is like a
journey down the road. It mostly goes straight, but you do come across bumps on the road.
When you reach a bump in your life, you need to decide to choose the right path that you should
travel on. It is true that there are challenges or bumps on the road that might set you back but if
you keep on fighting and make that challenges as a lesson every time you fall, sooner or later
that dream of yours will come true and you will be successful in your life.
