It's impossible for me to decide what's the most important goal for me right now. To have money, to be educated, to support our families are equally important to me. I do love my family so much. That's why I am very cautious and responsible with every decision I made in my life. I try to make my parents proud. However, I am not the kind of daughter who sacrifies everything to my mom and my dad. I want to pursue my dreams, I want to overcome the restrictions that family ties create, I want to marry the one I like. I know that I have my own life. Money may be not the thing I am fixated about, but I do recognize that money helps me struggle to survive. It know it would be hard to survive in the US. But I think it's much harder to struggle to survive in an underdeveloped country like Vietnam. How can you have time to think about noble purposes, about romantic love, about charity, about your passion with learning when you don't have enough food to eat, don't have money to pay for your hospital fees? Some people may, but in most cases, it would be impossible. Without money, I can't pay for my dad's medicine or afford my younger brother's tuition fees in college. Without money, how can I help other people in the society? It is would be hard to help other people when you can't even help yourselves. Being educated is also another goal in my life. Learning and thinking make my life become much more interesting. It allows me to know more about the world, improve my thinking process and mke me feel like I am smarter than I was yesterday. Knowledge is also a way which I can connect to people.Theodore Roosevelt could talk to people from different backgrounds because he was a knowledgeable man. He could talk to a farmer about farming or to a stranger about train. However, unlike some people, I go to college not only to find myself. It is very important but I do take something else into consideration. Besides studying what I like, I want to choose a practical major so I can get a good job after I graduate to support my family.
