It's hard when your family isn't has rich as other families. You have to worry about who is going to help whom and helping them achieve that goal. In my family I am that designated person. I was always smart in school, getting straight As as an elementary student. Going to college, will lead me to getting a great job as a doctor and having money. This will not only help me but those in my family that need and can't succeed as well as me.
Ever since I was a little girl, I was told that education would be the most important obligation in my life. My mom never had the chance to continue her education through college because she had a child. So now, she wants me to be that best that I can be without any interferences. Throughout my academic career, she has stressed me out because anything below a B is unacceptable. My mom works me entirely too hard. I can barely go out with my friends or just go to someone else's house. She thinks that time can be used to focus on homework or a test that's weeks away. I have no personal life.
Now that I'm a junior in high school, more pressure has been piled on about getting into a good college and becoming something that will make my mom proud of me. However, now not only do I have to think about college applications and SATs, but also financial aid and scholarships that will help me achieve this goal. I have to maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average for the last two years of highschool and find other scholarships that will help me with college tuition.
