The Biggest Turning Point

The biggest turning point in my life was having to leave my house to help my family financially when I was eighteen years-old. I relate this experience to the one of the main character in “Snake Dance”. First of all, I had to leave my family and my schooling behind to be able to help them out economically. Also, I had to learn and adjust to doing something that I had never done before. I had to learn my new job just as this character had to learn his. I believed that short after I came to the United States I would enroll in school and start preparing myself for a better future. In contrast, I worked for about two years until I was settled enough to start attending school. In conclusion, this was a turning point in my life that led to me becoming a more reliable and independent person.
