It has helped me to mature into the young, open-minded woman I am today. All I want in life is to be successful. My father has made me proud my whole life. He has shown me first hand that things aren't always as easy as they seem. He has shown me that you may not always want to do things that you have to do. He has shown me that if you work hard and chase your dreams you will be successful in life. I'm not looking for a life handed to me. I'm looking for a life full of accomplishment and happiness doing what I love to do. Most of all, I want to make my father as proud of me as I have been of him growing up. To conclude my essay, if given the oppertunity, I will prove myself to the world. I am a young, strong woman and I have a positive, motivated mentality. I am constantly striving for greatness. There is nothing in my way that would prevent me from achieving everything I've ever wanted in my life. I will chase my dreams. I will accomplish my goals. Most importantly, I WILL be successful.
