\u201cWhat has inspired me to do well has been my ability to give back.

The best example of this is my goal to make my parents proud. As I succeed through the opportunities they have given me, I will also be able to give back to them as life goes on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
