I describe myself as determined because I’ve had to overcome many obstacles in life that we all may face, such as; an absent father, limited resources, not going to the best school, or living in the best area, but by focusing on my goal to succeed,  to be an Engineer, I didn't let it hold me back. They were things I had to deal with, if I was to reach my goal. I was determined to get there and didn't let anything stop me.
