Practice multiplication and division. Write a five-page historical article. Education has always been an important part of my life. My father was very strict about grades, insisting that I get all A's and, at worst, an A-. I lived up to my father's expectations for a long time. I worked hard and passed almost every test and quiz until sophomore year of high school. I admit that I had difficulties in high school. However, I continued to work hard every year. My freshman year of high school, I was named Spanish Student of the Year. That year I studied day and night for Spanish lessons and it finally paid off. My parents told me they couldn't have been more proud of me. I continue to work hard in my studies and strive to expand my knowledge. As you can see, my parents had a strong impact on who I am today. Without their love and support, who knows if I would even be here at Ohio Northern University. My parents and I are proud of how my life has turned out so far. I hope to continue on this path that I have carved out for myself and hope that it leads to a bright future as a successful business.
