Final thoughts (what do you want the reader to do/remember?)
I am fourth out of six brothers and sisters, recently moving back to my parents home. I am somewhat responsible for them.
Having a supporting family, a good job and deciding to continue my education is real important in my life.
I am a very busy person starting off with my family, running around with my mother and daughter to appointments they must have, my job working 12 hours shifts, nights, and last but not least going back to college and continuing my education.
My family is the most important thing in the world to me, we might be a little crazy, but we can’t be with out each other.
We are a very tight nit family. We might not get along at times but when we need help or support we are sure to be there for each other.
My job is somewhat interesting, I get to see different things, and meet different kind of people.
Going back to college is one important thing i decided to do.
Hard work and dedication gets a person far in life. Doing everything I do, from taking care of my family, to working, and now pursuing my college education this is an example of how dreams can be reached.
