Beyond a shadow of a doubt, my strong rooting in culture and familial values drove me the most to succeed. As an only child from a single-mother household, I grew up with a strong sense of independence and an even larger gumption to succeed. Be this as it may, it did not happen by prestidigitation. I vividly remember the moments of sadness and struggle in my household as a child, however none of these instances once disparaged my mother to the point of no rebound; I emulated this mindset. My courage, ambition, and willingness to succeed all grew exponentially throughout my High School heydays, and from that point, there was no turning back on my success.
