Education is personally important to me because when you come from an uneducated family like me, it gives you a purpose to work even harder to achieve your education and it has always been something that i’ve been trying to accomplish ever since I lived in Thailand refugee came, but there wasn't much opportunity for us refugee to have access to educations. When I was 7 years old, my dad passed away in Thailand, and ever since then, my mom wanted to come to the United States, so she can give me the life she never had. Also, Although my mother is my inspiration, she’s my sole motivation to work hard in school and earn a college degree. With my education, I want to be able to support my mom because she has been worked very hard to get me where I am right now. I want to lead a happy life and enjoy the good things has to offer, and I know that I certainly need education for that. Being educated gives you more chances of high paying jobs and the more educated you are, the better career options you have. I want to be able to turn my dream into my reality with the education that i’ll be accomplishing in the future. I know that if I want to become extremely successful, the key to all that is education.
