Topic > My definition of success - 620

Everyone has their own definition of success. Personally I believe that success is personal satisfaction in achieving the goals we have set for ourselves in our life. To achieve these goals, the individual fights very hard and makes many sacrifices along the way. I am fortunate to have two people in my family who I consider perfect examples of success. The first person is my aunt. Her name is Dr. Julia Garcia. He is the person I admire the most. He comes from a hardworking middle class family. Twenty-four years ago, after graduating as a bilingual secretary, she started working in an office at the age of 16. Every month, when it was payday, he gave half of his salary to his mother. This way it would help with household expenses. He would save the other half to pay for his future university studies. She would never spend her money on clothes, jewelry, movie tickets or any other recreation. He always thought about the future and knew that one day these sacrifices would be rewarded. When he was 18, he entered college and majored in Accounting and Economics. She was awarded the "Brightest Graduate" award and the university offered her to work for them as an accounting professor. She accepted. In three years he earned enough money to buy his parents a nice house and his first car. A few years later, he thought his life was getting boring, so he decided to go back to school and find his true calling. She attended dental school and specialized in orthodontics. She now owns a dental clinic, works as a dental surgeon for a large hospital, and is still a college professor. All this in his country, Ecuador. Another successful member of my family is my beloved maternal grandmother. She grew up on a farm with two sisters and a brother. They always had to help their parents with agricultural work. In 1917, when my grandmother was six years old, she was able to attend school, but only for two years. Her father died and she had to drop out of school to help her mother and older brother with the hard task of running the farm. He could not go to school, but his thirst for knowledge was so great that he borrowed books from libraries. and she educated herself without anyone's help.
