For the Future 

-SK, San Mateo 

The greatest sacrifice that I did was leaving my family for more than two years without my presence and being there for them to help. 

My family was always there for me when I needed them and they always loved me. I never realized how much they liked and loved me. Maybe I was focusing on the negative energy they gave me and all the beating my parents gave me. I was mad, so I didn’t listen to anything they said to me and told myself that I make my own choices. 

I now realize how much love they gave me and all the good things they did to me, but I still think this is a sacrifice because I’m learning more and studying more. It’s a sacrifice because I’m bettering myself for the future.
