What's the biggest opportunity you have in your life?

My biggest opportunity that I have in my life...is my life. When asked this question, I think about my parents. They faced so many challenges back in Mexico just so they could be able to give me and my siblings a better life here. I think about how they brought us here just so we could have what they didn't, so we could get a greater chance at everything. Most importantly, I think about how the only reason I can pay them back for all they've done is to succeed at everything that I can, like education. My biggest opportunity is living this life and striving to gain something bigger, and I will always continue to do that. I want to have a better future and give my parents, especially my mom, a better life to live. If I continue to try and accomplish everything that I can now, it will lead me to better opportunities in the future that would help me out greatly. It's not about showing everyone else what I can do and bragging, it's about getting what is best for me.
