Due to my mother, my incredible role model, I value trust, determination, gratitude, respect, and open mindedness; therefore my purpose in life is to become successful, hardworking, and accepting, but at the same time care for those around me and appreciate the fortunate life I live. This is the case for me because growing up I always looked up to my mother and the many things she went through and accomplished while raising me.

Even though while growing up I didn’t realize that her strict rules and lectures were going to help me, I later on understood the importance of each life lesson she taught me. One of the lessons she taught me was to always be grateful for what you have and to try your best to help those who are less fortunate. This lesson was impressionable because growing up in Bangladesh, which is a third world nation, meant that I would have to give back to my community. At the same time, I admired my mother for being independent, hardworking and always aiming high. These positive attributes she possessed pushed me to become a better and more sincere person.

To me gratitude is the most important value because it is important to appreciate what you have in life. This value informs my purpose because I aim to help those around me and give back to the people of my country who are suffering from poverty and hunger. Determination is something one should always possess because it is always important to aim high. This informs my purpose because I aspire to be a successful businesswoman, which I hope to achieve because of the time, and effort I put into my homework and my studies. Trust and respect are also important values to possess because it is crucial to treat others correctly and to also be surrounded by those you trust will be a good influence on you. Thus, these two values also inform my purpose because I care for those around me, and do whatever it takes to help those in need.
