Olympic-size commitment

I would make such a commitment, like the people in the Olympics do, for my future. I want to have a great future ahead of me. I will keep determination all the way through college. I will persevere through all the hardships. I will remind myself it will all be worth it in the long run, when I feel like giving up. I want to have a great job and make lots of money. To have a bright future, I will have to work for it.

My mom is someone who has made such a pledge. She has been on her own since she was 17. She lost her mother to breast cancer. I look up to my mom, she is my hero. She did everything by herself. She has done everything for my family and has taught me so much. I would not be the person I am today without her.
