Chattanooga is a city with great fortune. This city is the root of some of the most popular celebrities of all time. People like Samuel L Jackson, Usher, Thouxanbanfauni, and Ben Curtis are all from Chattanooga TN. There is also one very special college in Chattanooga. This college is The University of Tennessee, Chattanooga. Chattanooga always holds a special place in my heart like my granny’s cooking. This University is the university where my parents met, and if it weren’t for this university then who knows where my free as a bird spirit would be today. I am very thankful for this school in a weird way. All of the memories, new experiences, trials, and tribulations my parents went through affected my personality, and my social skills which are both very diverse.
I always wanted to know about my parent's collegiate experience. For example, My mom and Dad both worked at a hotel. My mom would go to Sam's, buy soul food, cook it, and then sell individual plates out of her dorm room. This hustle paid my mother's tuition and the bills for her apartment. My dad’s major was finance. I think that what he learned in college has shaped my understanding of business and how money works. My father also pledged toward Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. My mother also met my godmother, who is one of the nicest people I know, in college, I have been meeting my dad’s frat brothers for a good chunk of my life. I can’t say that they’ve had the same effect on me as my godmother has, but the guys I have met are some cool people. My mom and dad met during their freshman year of college. The dorms weren’t ready for the freshman students, so my parents had to take a shuttle to school and stay in a hotel. My dad was gazing at my mom from the back of the on the first day of classes. From that moment forward my parent's relationship would lead to my parent’s relationship evolving into the person I am today. Ever since I was a child my parents influenced that college was important. The idea of college may have stuck well with me because they wanted better for me. They are the reason why I want to not only go to college but go to a college of the same or higher competitiveness. I want to show that intelligence runs in the bloodline of my parents and through me and on to my children and grandchildren. I want college to be the definition of greatness for my family. So when someone sees my children they understand that they aren’t perfect, but they are intelligent and the roots that my parents set are the reasons why my children and grandchildren are intelligent because no one can take that away from them. No matter how many possessions they have, or the amount of money they make my future generations that will inherit my last name will understand that education is key.
In conclusion, the events that led to my birth all happened around this college campus. From my mother’s innovative thinking to my father’s party and wild attitude. A Lot of people told me that I was just like mom or they would say I’m just like my dad. I would never believe them. However, after hearing these stories I understand why I act the way I do. I understand why certain situations can determine the future. Understand way more now than I did then. Weirdly, you could say that this college has become a part of me and my identity. I want future generations beyond myself to experience education at a higher level. My parents worked hard to instill education into me and their full potential was not reached. In other words, my parents could’ve been better. I want my children to know that I never reached my full potential. However, as long as they are willing to push themselves beyond what they think are their limits, the opportunities are endless
