Zent-Assignment 22

I have been very fortunate to grow up with a stable household with two parents who both work at home. For most of the year both of them are home and able to help out with anything my siblings and I need. However, for my parents to be able to live this unique lifestyle of being able to work from home, they do have to go to in person meetings and trainings for a couple of weeks at a time. For example, my dad works for a company that produces and sells coffee and for most of January and February he has lived in Costa Rica helping his company prepare for the coffee season. Likewise, my mom spends most of January on in person business trips and meetings like the LA Auto Show. With all of that being said, ever since I was little during this time I have taken on the responsibility of taking care of my siblings and I while my parents are gone. This has taught me a great deal of responsibility in anything from making sure we all get to school to having food in the house to eat. This trait impacts my aspirations because it makes me think of how and what I can do to help other people. This makes a college with a real community feel a good fit for me because I will be able to help and contribute to the community.
