Family

The best motivation always comes from our families. Every successful person has  strong family support, because you are one of them and they want the best for you. Before coming to the United States, I was so worried because I hadn't lived alone or had any hard responsibilities. Nowadays, I am here in Montana and I will graduate next fall 2016. My family was the reason I studied abroad.

I am the only boy in my family. I have five sisters and I used to be sad because of not having older or younger brothers. Nowadays, I feel positive about  having five sisters and I also feel that I need to take care of the whole family even though my father is doing this while I am here in the United States. Each one of my sisters gives me a special kind of support and it doesn't have to be money or gifts. I can become stronger just by learning some experiences from my older sisters or having a nice little chat with them.

Parents are always the source of advice for their kids and support with money and everything else that they need. Studying abroad made me miss my family everyday and sometimes I do get homesick. Since parents are very special to us, we must take care of them at all times and never leave them alone.
