When I was little I dislike my mother, and I wished that she would vanish! She was strict mother. She would always have extra homework after I did my schoolwork. My manipulating mother is the main reason I am in college today because she told me since I was little, that I was going to go college, she made me work hard in high school, she helped me achieve me goals in life.
First, my mother told me from a young age that I was going to college. She made me accept that when I get older I would have to go to college. She would declare as I was growing up that I was going to college. Since I was little, she always drilled into my head that I was going to go college when I get older. By her telling me, that I was going to college when I am older made me more accepting of the idea of going to college. One of memories that I remember when I was little she would take me to Northwestern University. We would walk around the campus. She would tell me when I get older I am going to go to school like this. The only thing I like about go there was see the beautiful campus. I was not thinking about the whole learning apart of school.
Next, my mother made me do extra homework while no one else in my class had to. I had to do workbooks for English and math class every day, after I finish my school homework. That was typical day after school. As much as I hated doing the extra work. It helped me in long run that I was head of everybody in my English and math class. I way remember when I was little go to education store to buy workbook to work after my homework. I always hated going but my mother forces me to go. When I got to the store I would not a work together with me mother to pick out workbook. Therefore, she pick out workbook that I did not like and made me finish them. This educated me that only way I would get head with my learning if I work together with her.
Last of all, my mother made me apply to Oakton to start my core class even though that I had other plans in mind. I wanted to take another year off school. How my mother influenced me to start school. I want to go back to Israel for another year. I want not ready to start school. Nevertheless, my mother influenced me to start so that I will not be head in life. My mother told me if I do not start so school now I that would be so behind in my college career. That I would finish with college by the age of 26. By my mother opening by eyes it help, me put my college as my number one goal in life.
I would not have started my college career if it were not for my mother help along the way. From a young she made sure that I known that would have to go to college when get older. These help me accept that I was going to college even if I do not want to go. She helps me do well in school by making me do extra homework after I finish my school homework first. She helps me get start with my college life with helping me to enroll into Oakton.
