Read Balaguer, M. (2022, January 27). Why the classical argument against free will is a failure. The MIT Reader. https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/determinism-classical-argument-against-free-will-failure/
Once you have read that essay, do this:
Create a position statement about why you think free will does or does not exist. Consider why some might be on the other side and state their reasons (the reading can help you with that). Refute their position. Then state the reasons someone should support your position. This should be 150-200 words.

My essay is answering the question; The value of hard work as what it has taught you?
I have put the statement below that needs to be editied.
I am currently pursuing my pre-medical education with the goal of becoming an infectious diseases physician. Attending a historically black college, such as the University of the Virgin Islands, has allowed me to pursue higher education at an affordable cost. As a non-traditional college student, I feel that my teachers can better understand and support me. Surrounding myself with like-minded individuals at this institution has been a source of motivation to continue my pre-medical studies. Additionally, having educators who share my background has been crucial in providing guidance throughout my academic journey. Despite facing unique challenges as a black student, I am determined to work twice as hard as my peers from other communities to achieve success in medical school and beyond. This is the reality of being black and persevering despite obstacles.
As a non-traditional college student, I have found that pursuing higher education at an affordable cost has been essential to my success. The financial burden of attending college can be overwhelming, especially for students like myself who may not have the same resources as others. However, by choosing a school that offers affordable tuition rates and financial aid options, I have been able to focus on my studies without the added stress of excessive debt.
As a non-traditional college student, I have learned the value of hard work and perseverance. Growing up in a low-income household, I was taught from a young age that success does not come easy. I have had to work multiple jobs while attending school full-time in order to make ends meet. This has taught me the importance of time management, dedication, and resilience.
Despite facing numerous obstacles along the way, including discrimination and lack of representation in my field of study, I have remained steadfast in my pursuit of higher education. The reality of being black in academia is that there are often additional challenges to overcome, but I refuse to let these obstacles define me or limit my potential.
In medical school and beyond, I know that the road ahead will not be easy. But I am confident that my experiences as a non-traditional college student have prepared me for the challenges that lie ahead. By continuing to work hard and persevere despite the odds stacked against me, I am determined to make a difference in my community and break down barriers for future generations of black students.
This is the reality of being black and persevering despite obstacles – it is not always easy, but it is always worth it. And as I continue on this journey towards achieving my dreams, I am grateful for the lessons learned along the way that have shaped me into the resilient individual that I am today.
The struggles and challenges faced by non-traditional college students, especially those of color, have equipped me with the strength and determination needed to overcome any obstacles that may come my way. The resilience and perseverance I have developed through my experiences will serve as a guiding light as I strive to make a positive impact in my community and pave the way for future generations of black students. By pushing forward despite the odds stacked against me, I am confident in my ability to break down barriers and create opportunities for others who may face similar challenges. With unwavering determination, I am ready to make a difference and inspire change.

PROFESSIONAL: How do your current academic interests, professional goals, and strengths fit with your requested major in Gies Business? In what ways do you hope to explore areas of growth and develop professionally?* 
My parents illegally came to America for a better life. Like many immigrants, their limited English prevented them from understanding the American financial system. Since I had to translate things I didn’t understand, my childhood was different. I remember translating my father’s business tax paperwork when I was 10, but I always cried because I didn’t have the financial literacy to help him understand and saw his overwhelmed face. I read a library book about the American financial system and improved my translation and explanation to my father, even though I didn’t understand many concepts. I became interested in finance after reviewing financial statements and learning accounting. This profound experience inspired me to study business to become an investment banker.
I joined the ERA to meet investment banking enthusiasts and create a financial statement and stock pitch for Gies professors while juggling my campus involvement and course schedule. This experience deepened my interest in finance, taught me to analyze complex statements and value stocks, and improved my teamwork and leadership. Seeing everyone’s industry knowledge and passion inspired me to work in investment banking. I taught Macroeconomics and Microeconomics in my second semester at ERA, sharing my knowledge. This showed me how my finance major could help marginalized communities. Teaching others deepened my understanding and showed me how powerful it is. I realized that understanding the American financial system could improve my community’s lives and education, especially my father’s. This realization motivates me to use my skills to help others.
In the future I hope to work with an international company to learn about their  financial strategies. I want to excel in financial management by analyzing finances and making smart investments. My finance degree will improve my expertise, problem-solving, and leadership. Cross-functional teamwork and leadership will help me apply these skills at the University of Illinois. Additionally, I want to help my community better manage their finances. To achieve this, I want to improve my financial literacy and leadership. I want to study finance and work in investment banking to help people and businesses manage their money. I also want to teach low-income communities financial literacy using my Gies finance skills.

A young driver, who was on her phone, tried to cross us while we were going straight on a yellow light. This caused us to collide with a big tree.
