I was born into an environment full of hard workers and people who are dedicated to what they are doing. My family is made up of people who always made sure they got their job done and put their 100% effort into that job. Everyone makes sure they are satisfied with the results of their work and if they are not, they do it again until they are satisfied.

They inspired and motivated me to always try my hardest and if I fail in my attempt, they told me to learn from my mistakes and try again. I applied these lessons into my school work. I always tried my …show more content…

Although sometimes my full effort is not enough, I always make sure the same thing does not happen twice. To this day, I have never failed two times in a row. I plan on continuing this streak for the rest of my life and pass it on to the youth so they can be successful as I hope I will one day. When it comes to preparing for my future, I think about not only about myself but I think about my future wife and my future kids. I want them to live a life without having to worry about our financial situation, so every time I feel like I can not do something, I think about them and push myself even harder. I work hard now so that one day, when I am an old person, I can live the rest of my life comfortably with my wife and see my kids grow up and do the same with their lives. I want to inspire my kids and teach them that they can achieve great things if they put the time and effort into what they do all the time. I see how hard work and dedication has

I look forward to helping students to develop a drive for personal academic excellence and a rich perspective on the world around them as they explore links between the individual, society, and the natural world. The potential of secondary geography is to stimulate an interest in the wider world through learning knowledge, both in and beyond the classroom, and acquiring geographical and transferable skills to last a lifetime.

The values of respect, honor, and selflessness were instilled upon me from a young age. Each of these values has played a key role in who I am today. Growing up, I always chose the hardest path because I knew that, in the long run, it would pay off.

They followed major river basins, and also moved southward and arrived at the border of the rainforest about as early as 900 BC. The Bantus people at this time were transitioning from stone age to iron age techniques.
