The Beginning of the Process

I am a Freshman a Rider University an I am undergoing studies in Computer Information Systems which is a Business Major at Rider University. I attend to use use this major to expand my technology knowledge, get a job in the technology field or electrical field, and to pursue my goal of being successful in the working field.

When I was in middle school I had a goal to attend a four year university and becoming a professional athlete along with getting an education. The goal really didn't change much, I had many things to motivate me to keep me focused. As a child I had two really inspiring role models in my life my mother, and my uncle.

My mother was a hard working single parent who worked two jobs to support my sister and I. She never really complained or explained why she worked so hard but I knew the reason, she wanted the best for us. She always stayed on top of me about everything as far as school and sports.She stressed that education was the key to everything and that without it I would always be limited to opportunities. When it came to sports she always said "Don't be intimidated by the size of those other keeps you have the same ability just do your best your time will come". She never wanted to hear excuses about me not doing my best or quiting.This helped me in the long run with school because that was the discipline that I needed to get through the hard times in school and competition. As well as my mother my uncle was another roll model. He was a running back for West Virginia and went to the NFL to play for the New York Jets. He was born and raised in Salem, NJ. He is the prime example of a local hero in my county. He gives my all types of advice and always says, " it's not where you are from its where you heart is", and he all ways gives me hope by showing me that a person from a small town can make it big if they work hard, and take on challenges. This the reason I stride for success and everything I do to someday become the next positive role model of my county and inspire young children from my area to chase their goals.

I would like to thank you for reading my biography hopefully you learned a little bit more about what inspires me.
