Someone who really defines me would be my uncle. He was the one who raised me ever since I was 3 years old & he was the one who pushed me to become who I am today. I honestly don't think I would have done anything if it wasn't for him. He, like me, was a biology major, but sadly had to leave school because of financial problems. For that reason I not only love my major, but I want to finish what he once started. He always focused on giving me opportunities to go through with what I want to do.
It sure would have been different if my parents were the ones who actually gave their time to raise me as oppose to him, but I am very thankful things turned out the way they did because I would not have liked it to be any other way. He is what inspired me as well to be a biology major. He had friends in laboratories & he would take me there to visit & I found the environment to be very amusing. I was raised by him with the mentality to never let an opportunity pass, not even by the slightest second. If there was an event in school that he thought I would like, he'd sign me up & honestly, I didn't complain about it because I personally liked that type of attitude coming from him.
Now that I'm here in college, I attempt to keep his mentality because I feel as if opportunities like these will only come once & if they do, I don't want to lose them because I wasn't completely "sure" about it.
