How have u taken advantage of your educational opportunities?

I see my educational opportunities in two perspectives; both my father’s and my own. I was born in the Fiji Islands, a land of meager schooling and grim chances at success, and when my mother died my father decided to take advantage of the educational opportunities he saw for me. He saw a future for my education in America and so he left his life to come here. In essence, my father took advantage of my biggest opportunity-simply to give me a chance.
When I came to America, I developed my own perspective on education. I found that I wanted to be a physician and worked towards it by doing whatever it took to learn and earn the grades desired by all aspiring scholars. In high school, an opportunity presented itself; The Business Careers Academy. In short, it is an academy where students take business classes such as accounting, business, and law. With these necessary skills, I can open a practice, or even pursue other opportunities if my wind decides to blow another way. The BCA is not offered everywhere, and so it is an opportunity in itself to be part of it. After all, the chance to learn should be coveted by all.
