I know I may get on his nerves a lot but he knows how much he means to me. He knows the potential I have in life. He has always been there for my brothers and me. I couldn’t have asked for a better, loving, caring, and amazing guy to be my Dad. He has always pushed me to my limits because he knows the potential in me that I have yet to come to know. I can always go to him if I ever need him as a father or a friend. My Dad is my ULIMATE best friend. I couldn’t thank him enough for all he has done. Your favorite high school memory: My favorite memory would have to be everything because there really isn’t a dull moment with anyone in our class. Throughout my four years with the people I’m about to graduate with in high school will always be an adventure worth remembering. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? In 10 years? I see myself still in college pursuing the careers that interest me the most. I know most people won’t stay in school after the four years are up; yet, I still see myself creating career options. When we were children they asked us what we wanted to be when we grow up, I said all of the type of careers and I want to make myself proud by getting the careers I love and found interesting. I want to create a future that is better for my family and me.
