<p>The World I come From by mgmtlol</p>
<pre><code> The world I come from is quite interesting and spectacular in my regard. My name is mgmtlol, and I am a senior at JSerra Catholic High School and currently reside in Orange County, California.
When I was younger my life was much different than my peers. My father suffered a heart attack when I was five (5) years old and my little sister was two (2) years old. Our world quickly changed.
Growing up in a mainly caucasian neighborhood with a full-time working single African American mother was challenging. My mother is a true inspiration to me as an African American single mother, always pushing the boundaries just for her children to have a better life. These characteristics of putting others before myself come straight from my selfless Mother. Growing up, race confusion was always alarming to me as many people would speak with a racist undertone around me that was quite upsetting. My approach to this issue was simplistic and peaceful, for I know from history that ignorance is bliss. I often envisioned myself as a leader especially when it came to issues regarding inequality and hatred.
My first real traumatic event occurred at the age of six years old were I became the man of the house, as my mother said on the day my young sister was diagnosed with Febrile Seizures. The seizures began wrathfully. I always had faith and hope that she would be alright when these seizures struck. For I knew that a hopeful optimistic attitude was not just needed for me but more importantly for my sister, the one actually dealing with these horrible seizures.
Through my adolescents, I started to begin to get further fascinated with my interests. Mostly ranging from science to history and even general areas like business and math. I began to absorb knowledge on my own time outside of school. My step-father entered my life eight (8) years ago. He is a very hard-working man who is my hero. His excellent math and business skills rubbed onto me to become the young man I am today. Becoming his protege, I have learned the art of business and communication skills. The climax of these interests became hands on the summer of 2011 when I decided to open and run my own kiosk located at our local mall. As my first business I must say it was quite enjoyable as I strengthened my communication skills and I learned more of the ins and outs of running a business. My business was successful and I tripled my savings in one summer. Soon many other kiosks opened with a very similar concepts as I. It felt quite amazing to have my own business and succeed! I will never forget the summer I opened my first business.
Once you start business its hard not to continue. During the school year I have spent my free time designing computer apps. I enjoy creating and working in challenging environments. I plan to open the balloon kiosks at two (2) locations over Christmas break 2011.
My goals vary, but basically I want to be the best person I can be going into my adult life. Someone who is not a follower but a leader willing to help those in need. Someone who takes charge without prompting. I will work hard to accomplish great things. I can promise this to you, if given the chance I am the type of student who will thrive in your campus environment. I will work hard to become the best I can be.
