Motivated to Graduate High School
Growing up poor is one thing, but growing up poor without a father figure has to be one of the hardest obstacles in life. Well anything worth having in life is worth working for. That is why when I saw the opportunity to be the first male in my family to graduate high school, I ceased the moment.
Failing at anything was not an option so I motivated myself a lot. My mom worked two jobs and I started to feel like the only thing to do was trying and help bring in some extra cash to the home. So at the age of twelve years old I started my first job selling new papers and magazines. Instead of doing drugs and hanging out with the other kids I stayed busy
