What Inspires Me? -Epiphany Foster

There are some people in my family that inspire me such as: my parents, my family, and accomplishments by famous people that made history. My single-parent mother always told me when I was smaller, I was destined to do get things in my life but it all started with the choices I make a school. My family members like my great grandmother, uncles, aunts, and elderly folks constantly remind me to go to college and be successful. I seen how important it is to my family for me to go off to college and become a successful young lady. No one in my family has went to college and finished;that's why I wake up everyday giving me 110% to go out,do my very best,and give it all I got. My inspiration also comes from famous people like Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey,Martin Luther King Jr, and Micheal Jackson. I didn't pick them because of their skin color, I listened,watch movies,read books and biographies about their lives. These vary people grew up having a hard lives with multiple challenges and tribulation that lied before them. Some never knew they would change history and the way we reflect on our history nowadays. But some,actually made up in their mind that they were going to become something great. They believe their were going to change the world and the people in it who went through the same thing. People voice were heard through these individuals whether it was about rights, religion, equality, freedom, or justice. Just by believing in yourself and understanding a proven fact, "you can become anything you want as long as you put your mind to it." It doesn't matter where you come from or what your background looks like, you can make it if you push yourself to do so. I believe my family is counting on me and i know they're going to be there for me every step of the way. I won't to let them down and I feel it's my duty to finish my mission to be great and become something amazing. I want the world to know my name and inspire others kids to do the same.
