Both of my parents never go the chance to attend college; they always tried their best to give me and my sister a good education. Since I was little I attended private schools in Guatemala until my parents decided to move to the U.S., we got here on 2003 and since then I have tried my hardest to do well on school, I know that my parents my a huge sacrifice to come to this country so I could have a better future and I have seen how they work to pay for the things that I always wanted and needed so by me attending college and do well here it is a way of repaying them everything that they have done for me. I’m really thankful for their hard work and caring because if they didn’t care they wouldn’t push me to try my hardest on school so I can have a better future and don’t struggle on life like they have, they want the best of me and they have shown me that they would do anything to see me succeed so by me staying in college and try my hardest is a way of saying thank you for all their hard work that they have done for me, for all those long days that they had to work. I think Puente will help me with these and help me stay in track and really push myself to do my best and keep my goal in mind to do everything for my parents for their sacrifice that they had to make for me to have a better life and I want to succeed in life because my dream is one day to see them rest and not worrying about money so if I succeed and have a good career I can tell my parents to retire and tell them not to worry about money or anything because like they took take care of me now it’s my turn to the same thing for them.

Thank you for sharing your story. I think this is a story that is shared by many of your peers and certainly by me. By realizing what our families have provided us, going to college is one way to repay their sacrifices. Just as you said, by obtaining a degree and then a career, it would eventually lead to an easier life not just for you, but for your family as well.
