Moustafa’s Marvelous Monologue!
Sometimes I need a break and I yearn to be in my hometown, sipping on fresh pressed mango juice as I watch the sun set on the pyramids from the roof of my building. As much as I want to, I know I cannot just pack my bags leave; there is too much at stake. The foundation of my livelihood: my education, the family business, and future career opportunities all facilitate themselves right here in New York. Therefore, I have come to the realization that I will have to survive in the concrete jungle for a few years before being reunited with my beloved country. In the meantime, I have developed into a man of many goals and ambitions. My number one goal in life is to support my parents; a small price to pay for all they have given me. Perhaps this goal serves as motivation for completing my education and receiving a degree, especially when many of those around me have given up and lost focus.Until I am able to support them financially, I contribute my time and effort around the house and at the family business in order to relieve my parents of their tough schedules. During my free time, I associate myself with those that share similar goals, and luckily these people have been my friends since toddler age. As I grow older, I feel overwhelmed by some of the responsibilities of being an adult, in fear of being unable to fulfill these duties. However, I am reassured by my strong support system that I will be able to preform. Although I wish to eventually be in a different setting through constant maturation, hard work, and perseverance; I am contempt and extremely thankful for my current stage of being and even more excited to see what the next stage will hold!
