My Life in a Nutshell
“The moment you forget where you have come from, you lose the very purpose of your life.” This quote has helped me realize that your community is what helps shape your future and your accomplishments. Without this phrase being apart of my life I do not think I would be who I am today nor think like I do today, I feel like I would be someone so different.
Living in a small town is why you need to have something or someone to keep you going and wanting more in your life, what keeps me going is this simple quote. I live in a small home that holds five people, I live with both my parents and my two sisters. I’m the middle child and was raised mostly by my grandpa then my parents, only because I spent most of my time with him. My mother is self employed and owns two business and my father works in the dairy. I have seen my mother struggle both mentally and physically as well as emotionally, she has been through many obstacle that I feared she would not overcome but with prayer and and church and God she overcame most of them. I know what it was like to struggle and go without because others needed in my family. The thought that my mother made it through the rough times and made it to where she owns her own businesses makes me want more then what she was able to accomplish. She has always told me she wanted more from me, and wanted me to succeed in life and be able to maintain a stable life with my own family and see me not struggle.
This small town in tulare county named lindsay, does not have much to offer but is known for the agriculture it sows. Many families here work in the field and struggle to live and pay for food as well as bills. More the ¾ of this town does not have a high school diploma nor is able to live off of the income they bring in monthly. Almost all these families here in lindsay depend off of welfare and government support. This town shows you and makes you want more in your life, so going to school is the only option in going anywhere in their lives. The only problem is that their personal drive is nowhere near where it needs to be because many need to go to the fields to help their families out. A lot of people lack in self ambition to finish school and go to college or other finish high school and do not want to go to college. Un like me I want to go somewhere but I am a very big procrastinator, and wait for last minute for everything.
This town has made me want to leave and become something better than just a field worker, I’m very interested in becoming a CHP and being a pastor. I have had many inspirational occasions in my life and many things that have made me want to accomplish my goals more. I promised to my grandfather that I would become a CHP. This town does nothing but make you want more than an average life, the difference is that man do not have the ambition to become something more. Than again many do get the chance and many don’t have the chance because of
