When you think about what you are right now and what you were in the past you would definitely see a huge difference of what you are right now, for me I was definitely that kid who would never change his mind easily until I see the whole picture of what's right and what's wrong so by years and years I kept changing fast, sometimes from good to better and sometimes just completely the opposite but I was always learning lessons from what I did wrong no matter what, I would say that's the most important point which made me who I am today and just by looking in the past and into the future I’m still trying to figure out what I want or what I need but i know that i want what makes me feel better for myself regardless of the financial problems that I may get in my way so since I was 8 years old I always had that feeling where I was the smartest kid in the family where I had the highest grades so by years me growing up in a private school made me socially terrible, actually I think it was worse until that day I realized I have to work on my other side of my personality(my social one) so i actually decided to focus on living my childhood before i lose the chance to do that so i started making friends and trying to see and figure out what was i really missing which was a real friend, imagine not having a friend or simply someone who cares about you.well, that was technically what I did not have for years till I started not focusing on school or studying in particular so in general, I needed to be more of what every child has which is basically friends so after a year or two of that time i started having friends and living like any other regular kid but what i did actually reflected my future entirely so far and you might ask how?! Ok so after years i was academically failing bad but at the same time I had many successful moments as well so lets define who I was 15 years ago of my life and let's compare it of what I was 5 years ago and of who I am now, so 15 years ago I had no life basically only dreams so 10 years after that I got more pain of what this world hides for us and realized how mean this world could be so by now I got Whizzer and older but the only thing that really changed is the way I think, how? Ok so after all those years i decided to forget about my dreams and my hopes about life and started a new list of goals which i want to accomplish with a certain amount of time. however, nothing always works as planted so 40% of my goals did not worked out with the amount of time i estimated to finish these goals so for me i had to think real fast and organize everything out, and where i grew up there is no specific age to start working not just like here in the united states of america where you can you start working from the age 16, so i started working at the age of 13 with a simple job but with a big responsibility which is to start paying for my own stuff and my sisters and brothers as well, just to feel the first responsibility punch and make me be aware of what's really coming in the future so from a job to another through the years i gained more experience in the job field which made me more reliable on my own decisions instead of asking my mom about everything i want and everything i need but by time things kept changing frequently and no one ever thought that all this was in my head and no one actually noticed till i started making big mistakes and started fixing them in my own way so that was a big shock for my family of who i really became and i can tell by their reaction when about 6 years ago i was in a big money trouble of something i wanted start my own self and to start growing step by step but that did not work out honestly because i was not really ready i was still that 16 years old who wanted his parents to be proud of him.
My dad taught me one thing in life even though i never actually really met him because he passed away 18 years ago just to save two jews kids from drowning in the sea which he eventually gave me the strengths to do what I do now, where I come from it's difficult to do what you love or what you always dreamed of as a kid so for me I got raised here and there and never thought about whats really going on out there in the real world so at the age of 6 I realized that my dad passed away by giving his life away to save another life instead and I kept thinking about it till the age of 13, simply why would someone leave his family and his beloved ones just for another person so i then realized that was called humanity which my father had a lot of it at a time where everyone actually cares only about themselves, so if you look in what was the world used to be 20 years ago and what it is right now, you will see a huge difference but at same direction of a worse world, thankfully I learned the lesson my dad wanted me to know all about and to make me who I am today so if I did not look at it that way and by saying that everything happens for a reason I would definitely not be the same person or had the same personality and the same way of thinking. luckily it went that way for the better and if i had the chance to change the past i would say that i want to keep it the same exact way, so at the age of 18 i graduated high school and started to work at restaurant to pay for college so that's what i actually did, found a better job by time and finished my first year at college just like everyone else did till that day i met a very smart old man at school tech program who told me that opportunities i can get if i do it the right way so i kept thinking of what he said till i found the answer! it was to think smart not to work hard so i started applying that in my life so I quit my job and started looking for better ones that I can gain more money with less pressure so I found a job as a sales retail so I took the chance and took the job and started talking and talking till I became very good at what I do so I got promoted twice in 7 months and after that i had the chance to work somewhere else so I applied for it and got the job and by time I stopped school and continued jumping from a job to the next so I can get more experience and that's what I did so far till the I decided to get back here to Chicago and get my bachelors.
