Personal Statement 

My name is Laura Zamarripa . I am the middle child of a family with seven kids, I have two brothers and four sisters. .  My mom and dad both are very hard working , they do everything in their power to make sure we are all happy. By that I don't mean that they spoil us , they actually teach us to find happiness in things that can not be bought in this world.  Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to become a princess, and find my prince charming.Of course that dream isn't very realistic, my only goal is to do something in my life that will make my parents proud. In accomplishing my dreams I must consider struggles I will face. One struggle that stops me often is the fact that I was not born in the United  States, my parents brought me and my siblings here at a young age. This barrier has kept me from doing things for my education such as taking college classes while in High school.  I use this as motivation to help me become successful.  One of my strengths is organization, I like to organize everything from events to a cabinet at home. I enjoy smiling and laughing. Simple things in life like flowers make me smile, making others happy also makes me happy.
