My life matters because of the amount of effort my parents put into raising me and shaping me into the person I am today. Also, the love that my parents and family have for me makes me feel extremely thankful to be alive. My grandfather came to this country by himself at 18 years old; my existence is because of his bravery and fearlessness. My great-grandmother also faced poverty during the Great Depression. My privilege of being on this earth is due to the sacrifices my family has made for me. This is why I see my life as my family’s precious legacy.
