It is not very hard imagining fulfilling my dreams , I think accomplishing them is what is an extra step. Over the years I have noticed that I can not just imagine my future self owning my dream house mansion, having luxury cars, and being well enough to survive own my own. It has occurred to me that maybe I can get a little father than my ancestors did in life and that I will make them very proud. As an Hispanic girl I have not always imagined though, I have actually put myself to work. Nothing in life is free even if people say it. I crossed the United States border once , and I am not going to waste my life being ungrateful. The closest people to me are working the least pleasant jobs everyday simply to give it all and though it is not enough to make a new future for their generation it is more than I can intake as an inspiration to not forget that I am blessed to have a second chance. All my parents do is support me and teach me to never forget where I come from and that I am a human and not always perfect. To school I went and not always being easy but at the end It was unbelievable seeing all my close companions throw their graduation hats in the air and remembering all those times when I would cry all alone in the middle of the night trying to finish a difficult assignment. No one is going to carry me anymore although I wish sometimes I had wings and could fly away from my all my struggles. Coming from a generation of uneducated loved ones shows me that I can be someone better and that my dreams of becoming a Criminal Investigator are only a grasp away from my hands. Studying hard and completing the four years required for my Bachelor’s degree on Criminal Justice are my first step and eventually joining the Police Academy following several more years in graduate school for my Master’s degree. And it will not stop there, I will become professional and one day obtain my Doctorate. Eventually all of this process will take some time maybe even a few years in the making but I do not stand alone. Equally as David in the battle with Goliath I am small in size, but my God Jehovah is greater than all the ever possible giants coming my way. I will not imagine all have dreamed of ,one day I will be walking a new path and not even notice.
