UC Personal statement
Coming from a independent and determined family isn’t easy. I play the role of the sample setter for my siblings. Being the oldest of three, I am considered the leader and the role model. My family hasn’t had anybody go to college, so that will make me the first to attend college and make a difference. The path is going to be set by showing how to be successful and achieve their goal.
