Written Word (M.S.) Grand Prize Finalist- Jorge

My name is Jorge and throughtout my life I haven't really had much until I came to this country eight years ago. My life has been filled with disappointment and melancholy and I don't blame my parents for not going to college I mean my parents pretty much had nothing when they were little. My dad has a high school diploma and my mom only finished middle school. My parents tell me that they regret not going to college they say that I wouldn't even be here. I would still be in Mexico with a big house with a lot of money. I love my parents and I wish that they had gone to a university and studied what ever they wanted to become something in life. I actually thank them for bringing me to this country because now I have a better chance of getting into a university of my choice. My dream is to become a doctor and help all those people in need but I cant do that if I don't go to college. My parents don't have a lot of money and I want to go to college. I want to be a doctor because when I broke my arm and my mom took me to the hospital I realized that the people in the hospital must get a great satisfaction thinking that they did a good job and that they helped someone in need. This country has helped me do so many things and I want to thank it by going to college and becoming a doctor. If you can please save me a spot in college I would work my hardest and I will be the best that I could be knowing that I'm going to college. I am not writing a poem, doing a poster with a theme so you can see my coloring skills I am writing this so you can see my desire and passion that I have to go to college. If you save me a spot in college I'll become a doctor and I will save peoples lives.
