- What am I good at?
I am honestly really good at keeping up with my workload and task I need to accomplish. I have had a pretty hectic life these last 2 years and honestly can say I have been working hard for myself and my family. They have made me really good at keeping up with what’s going on because of how busy taking care of my mother is while doing school full time.
- What do I value?
Generally I value family very high over anything else. My mother got sick 2 years ago and I have been taking care of her since. My mother had a life changing situation and I have helped her through it all. I can do anything for my family as I really care about them and would do anything they would do for me for them.
- How did I get here?
I came to this point not by choice but because I must. No one in my family was able to take care of my mother so I deicide to stop everything and help her figure it out. I came to this point because no once else could and I would do anything for my family especially my mother who has done so much for me.
- Where am I going?
Now I am still helping my mother but I am also finishing school online so I can continue my life. I hope to graduate next year and begin to finish my flight license after. I really want to get into the airlines as my family has worked for them since I was young. Being a pilot will also make my family happy so hopefully in the future I am a pilot.

Hi Jesse,
Thank you for sharing about the challenges you have been facing through balancing your priorities. In which, I agree with you that family is the top priority, but it can be difficult to balance taking care of everyone without forgetting yourself. I give you props for better yourself through education to secure your future while not forgetting about who has raised you to this point. I am going to a similar situation with my father and the emotional load can be exhausting. Overall, your efforts show and you are doing great!
