<p>I wrote this at midnight In like an hour is this an okay essay for the first uc prompt?</p>
<p>The world that I am from and the people who have been with me all my life are my inspiration. It ranges from my parents to my cousins, uncles, sisters, grandparents, and my friends. I was born in Glendale, CA like most Armenians living on the west coast and am a proud Armenian who loves his heritage. My last name literally means “happy mouth” in Farsi which is actually a very good description of me and my family. I grew up with two older sisters in the family who taught me how to be a gentleman and to be a respectful child to both my parents and relatives. My father who provided for us by going to back breaking work from 5 in the morning to 6 in the afternoon even now at the age of 62, He never once complained about his life always saying that knowing he gave his children the opportunities that he never had growing up makes it all worth it. My mother who always made sure I was well fed, safe, happy, healthy, and always out of trouble. I really do have a lot to thank my family for now that I look back writing this essay I’m lucky I got the family I did, luckier than most.
Growing up I was always told by my family, cousins and family friends that my birth dissipated the dark cloud looming over my family since my older brother’s death. I always had a giant weight on my shoulders consisting of my families expectations for me whether it be pressure to succeed academically, in sports, or whatever I was doing I was always told to do my best and never settle. If there is one thing I know in my heart that is for certain its that no matter what choices I make in my life my family will always support that decision, even if they are angry or don’t particularly like it they will always support and love me.<br>
School was always a place I dreaded I hated waking up so early and going to class each morning day after day feeling as if I was stuck in a never ending loop that would eventually drive me completely mad. But I understand it is a necessary part of life and something that we all have to do. While high school hasn’t been the best four years of my life like I was promised by my sisters it was probably the biggest learning experience I have had in my life. I truly believe that without the experiences I gained in both middle and high school that I would be a completely different person and I don’t think I would be okay in accepting that. I like who I am.</p>
