I came from a place where my parents had supported me when I was little. Although they had enough money to support me, my family came from a poor background and had to give up a majority of their life away in order to do this. To get to where they are today, they had to sacrifice much time and effort to work. My mother and father were first farmers at a young age. Although they did not meet each other yet, they had a similar past. They worked day and night in order to support the family and the farm. They sold their crops in the city as their only way to earn any money and they were lucky if to eat anything. Fortunately, my parents were able to go to school. Their motive was to work hard and break the family line of poverty.
From the moment I was born, they continued to support me even when I was bothersome. They dedicated their life to make me a success. They placed me in extracurricular activities and put me in tutoring programs.
I dedicated myself into finishing these programs. The first program that they placed me in was a Chinese school in Kindergarten. I, at first regretted it but I soon knew why they did that. My parents wanted me to study my native language so that I would not lose it while I go to English Class. I regretted it at first because I did not want to dedicated any more of my time to work on another subject. In the end, I completed it and graduated. Along the way, I was able to get some prizes for my speeches and in prizes of handwriting. I enjoyed writing my language and speaking my language. With every stroke of the fur brush, I was slowly able to connect to my native culture but I also knew that the Chinese language has over tens of thousands of characters.
The second program that I am still currently in is an Orchestra where I learn how to play Chinese instruments in Second Grade. I first wanted to join because I enjoyed listening to music and wanted to learn how to play it as well. I dedicated myself to learning it. I enjoyed the years learning to play the music. Currently, I play the Ruan which is similar to a guitar but it is held upright. Recently, I played in concerts in Skyline High in April and soon I will be in Washington, D.C. to perform in the World’s Children’s Fair in Mid- June. I am so excited for that. I have never been outside of California except when I had went to China when I was a toddler. I also look forward to playing on stage and meeting the president.

Hopefully, that job would be a pharmacist. A pharmacist degree requires a lot studying and I am willing to dedicate my life in doing so just like how my mother had dedicated her life to support her family and break the poverty line. I would also like to become a pharmacist because I want to study medicine. I want to learn about the chemistry about medicine and about how each different medicine affects an individual. I would also like to develop medicine that limits the amount of side effects. I have heard so much about drowsiness and liver failure in medicine that I would like for that to be limited.
I would also like to find a cure for strokes and Alzheimer's disease because both of my grandparents had suffered from it. My grandmother had died from a stroke not long ago. That was the second time that she has had one. Till this day, I continue to miss her. My grandfather is still alive but is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. He has a limited ability to think and sometimes forget everything. My grandfather knows who I am but forgot my name and who I was before he had suffered from the disease.
I wanted to become a pharmacist because of my parents and my grandparents. I want to develop cures and save the community or even the world of illnesses. I want to rid the medicine of side effects. Most importantly, I want to pay back my parents so that they would enjoy the rest of their lives enjoying the luxuries that they want. I want to support my family and prevent them for suffering like my parents. I do not want my children to starve and I would like them to enjoy their life as well.
