College Admissions Essay: The Next Five Years Of My Life

Former baseball player Tommy Lasorda once said, “The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination.” The journey of our life is full of winding paths and concrete obstacles whose sole goal is to slow us down, and to attempt to block us from reaching our ultimate goal in life, whatever that may be. These barriers are there for several different reasons, whether it be mental or physical. Sometimes these obstacles are motivated by fear, other times they exist simply because we have to make a decision, and that decision can be life changing. But through our determination, and through our perseverance, we can achieve what these barriers told us was impossible, and can pursue the path in our life that leads us to our ultimate self. Throughout my life, I have had thousands of barriers stand in my path. And the only way I was able to defeat them was through conquering my fears, and breaking my limits in order to achieve excellence.

Every day, every one, in the world goes through a challenge, big or small. They affect and impact us significantly. They change the way we think, love, act, and approach or do things. Challenges either frighten or motivate us, but they are what make us the person we are today.

Something that make me smile, gets me excited, makes me do something is softball. I have played ball all since the day I could walk. I started off playing baseball since I was 2 years old. Then at age 8 I went on to play softball for a select softball team in Pearland. Playing softball has always made me smile! I love the intensity, excitement, and the teamwork that is used to play ball. We all look out for each other and try to pick each other up even when we are not all in the spirit. Some activities that involve science, technology, engineering, and math that I find to be fun is robotics and underwater robotics. Robotics has always been a big part in my life because my dad is a robotics teacher for this school and I always loved playing

The future. A place filled with unknowns and unexpected twists and turns. As I near the end of my high school career, the idea of college and all that follows it is becoming a reality in my mind. I do not know what God has in store for me, but I do know that He has a plan. As a freshman, I thought that I would have everything figured out by senior year; however, now that it is senior year, the future looks more mysterious than ever. While this is the case, I have still postulated some of my future goals and ambitions.

That brings me to this year, and it has been nothing short of a blessing. I didn’t do basketball for my senior year, just to get prepared for the vault. I worked out every other day in the winter, letting my body rest in between days and going as hard as possible when I was at the Y. I went two times a week to St. Louis, just to work on everything that I could for this vault season. My passion stemmed from my junior year, and with all the success I had, I just wanted more. I told myself Junior year that I would work as hard as possible over the offseason to get first place at that Illinois College meet. I wanted to show everyone that I could go from dead last my freshman year, all the way to winning the whole thing my senior year.

I have loved sports my whole life, even at a very young age. I would watch it with my dad, and he would take me to sports games. I loved to play basketball in the backyard when I was little. I have always loved cheering for my favorite sports team. I love watching the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Two years ago my dad surprised me with Vikings tickets. I was so happy to get to go to a game. Sports has always been a big part of my life. Two years ago, I got a new view of sports when I started umpiring.

My life hasn’t always been the easiest. In fact, I have gone through a lot for a typically high school student. Most of the things I went through, a lot of people haven’t. Yet, nobody is perfect right? In those four years, you may learn scholarly wise, but you also learn to grow up real quick. These four years in high school really made me think about the person I used to be, who I am today and who I want to be in the future. Your high school years really are the most important years of your life.

I’ve always been that kind of guy who was good with numbers. Throughout my school years, I never had the desire to put in extra effort when it came to English classes or written works. My focus really seemed to rotate around a desire to be a hundred and ten percent into computers and technologies. I assumed that I would always have access to word processors or the Internet if I ever needed spell checking or literacy advice, or at least that’s how I summarized it. So, that philosophy only worked for so long, in a nutshell, less than two years into my first career job!

The first quarter of my freshman year of college has flown by, and I anticipate the rest of my college years to do the same. With this thought in mind, I intend to create a lasting college experience, while also discovering what my future entails. As I transitioned out of high school, I embraced this opportunity to pursue further education as an important life decision.

My advice to a freshman is that do not waste your time because being as a senior I have seen many freshman students who don’t care about their classes because they think that they have a lots of time to recover it on their junior or senior year but the fact is that if the time never stop it is going on it circle so we never know that what is happening next with us. Never trust on time because as the clock is rounding it doesn’t on the moment that you want it is moving and moving but you have to catch it and spend it for a thing that gives you a benefit. I am a senior when I came to the school I was already senior but I didn’t waste my time with anything that I have to worry about it. I put all my effort and hard work in my classes and know

I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on.” Barack Obama.

I have a variety of future educational goals in life. My culmination goal of my education is to become a successful crime lawyer or prosecutor. I am in the processes of getting my undergraduate with a double major in sociology and criminal justice. After my undergraduate I plan on going to law school, at preferably one of the top 20 law schools in the United States. I have the knowledge that my education goals are very high. I will have to obtain a grade point average no lower than a 3.90 and a minimum LSAT score of 165 for a more guaranteed expectance.

As I’ve said, I love planning for the future, so it surprised me when last year a family friend, asked me what I planned to have as a career after university. I had no clue. I thought about if for a really long time. I succeeded

I am a student at Brookhaven community college, completing an associate degree in art and planning on transferring to a four-year institute. My plan is to acquire a bachelor’s degree in graphic design, and a certificate in baking. Two of my future career goals are, working for a famous company such as Disney, and starting my own business by opening a café in Lewisville, Texas. Although, I’m positive that If I don’t complete my bachelor’s degree I would not have the opportunity to achieve my dream as a designer or a baker.

Ever since I got into studying, I saw my life as going into well known ivy league university and getting myself into professional job with great amount of salary. Since I even until I was thirteen I did not realize how serious our world and our society was; all I did was pathetically enjoying life if I am in the world by myself, watching comedically foolish tv shows, refusing to look around others around me who are piling up their knowledges by adequating and constantly solving problems and reading interminable novels, while I prefer to watch them. However, by the time I turned thirteen, I decided to look at others around me and began to realizing my mistakes late. Ever since I studied tediously, I only thought one could not to study entirely like I did before, or to put myself into painful position of monotonous of hours with my studies. Therefore, I studied day and night; after homework and on weekends, even having to have my rosy pink and purple veins in my eyes popped, I endured those pains and kept on studying. I did not look back until this summer, when I actually started to think seriously about my future. I thought, even though this society is filled with competitions and
