Summary
I believe one of my biggest achievements would be my ability to persevere against problems and overcome them. Moving from Mexico, I was behind in school and knowledge of my surroundings, but with hard work, I was able to apply myself and succeed at whatever I put my mind to. I have been able to do both school and work while still maintaining an excellent performance in both and still capable of enjoying my own personal hobbies.
