My Incredible Journey

<p>I came from a poor family but was afforded all the opportunities to make myself a better person than my parents who did not have those opportunities. My childhood days were hard living on a farm getting up early in the morning doing my chores and then walking two miles to school. <br />My high school days was not as good as expected and I put that to the conditions under which I had to deal with living away from home sometimes under unpleasant situations and then getting up at 5:00 am to travel by train to Georgetown to get to school. I remember reading that Abraham Lincoln had to walk six miles per day to go to school and he became one of the best President of the United States of America. <br />My studies were cut short to assist my family when they were faced with major problems. I realized that the experience I gained by joining the SSU made me a better person. As I began my life anew I was determined to be successful in whatever my endeavors were. <br />Success comes with hard work and perseverance and I took advantage of all the windows of opportunities that came my way like forming Patrician Phone Corporation and South Jamaica Services and running for Congress. <br />To the readers of my autobiography especially the younger generation I want to tell you that the sky is not the limit. There are many opportunities out there you have to take the time to look for what interests you. <br />If I had to live my life over again I would probably do the same things all over again but I think with less mistakes. I have no regrets because I did it my all way.</p>
