A Choice to Succeed
... great achievement in the aspect that my family has never done this before. To be honest I really would have to say that I look to the future and the possibility that I might someday have a family. University of Phoenix, to me, is that light at the end of the tunnel. I look at the opportunity to finish up my degree with a great amount of enthusiasm. I want to be able to support that family I might have in the best way possible. I look at University of Phoenix as my ticket to do so. [You have a nice, easy-to-read style.] I refuse to fail at this… giving up is not an option for me. And ever day I feel like I have failed. This feeling will only be subdued once I have achieved this goal in my life. I have failed one too many time [Agreement problem. Plural subject, therefore plural verb (25)] in my attempts to get my degree. I ‘m not saying by any means that I failed the classes; but more so that I failed myself in the beginning; and look back at this with a grave regret.

I know that everyone’s first reaction is to say well he didn’t know how to control his vehicle and this is a partially true statement. While I hadn’t had my new SUV long, I was a long time owner of SUV’s. I have own an SUV for over 5 years and always had planned my trips to the mountains with the highest level of precaution. Just as I had started down the mountain I notice that the environment around me had changed drastically from earlier when I had driven up the mountain. Traveling at approximately 15 MPH I started down the unknowingly traitorous mountain. While traveling down I could feel the vehicle start to pull towards the edge of the cliff. Being familiar with driving in the snow and in conditions similar to this I wasn’t worried I just took my foot of the gas and slowly turned to the left (away from the cliff). Almost instantly the vehicle shot across and I was looking straight into the face of the mountain. With my time to react to this new situation dwindling I gave my SUV gas in an attempt to pull away from my new problem. In almost the same fashion as before my vehicle shot across to the other side but this time I was now hanging over the side of the cliff. At this time my calm reaction had now turned to...
