College Essay

I just got done writing my college essay. I never thought this essay would mean so much to me. It describes the hardships that my family and I had to go through in order for me to have a proper education. My parents dropped everything they still had in Iran (before the government took it away from them) to move to America for a better life, a life where there would not be discrimination against a person because of their religion. Now I am not saying America is perfect itself, but it gives its citizens freedom. The citizens have the rights to do as they wish with their own life and practice the religions that THEY choose to believe in. It doesn't have a controlling government that can't see past their own ass because their head is so far up inside of it. 

This country opens up opportunities for its citizens that people of others countries wish for. I am fortunate enough to have these opportunities so that I can create a better life for myself. Luckily, I have not wasted too much of my time on materialistic things to be distracted from my real goal. That goal is to obtain as much knowledge I can in this world until my very last breath.
