Is It Perfect? Not A Perfect Place?

To many high school students, college seems like a far away land, a mysterious place where everyone wants to be yet not many know how to get there. As children, our parents tell us how much time we have to think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our

Many have experienced an encounter as a young child where they are asked what they want to be when they grow up. Answering that question may be easy as a kid because your mind is filled with thoughts of being the unimaginable. As you grow much older, those ideas begin to depart from the mind and you are suddenly more aware of what is and what is not possible in this world. When beginning the most important years of high school, you stop and rethink your career choice numerous times, stressing on who and what you want to be. Many adults such as teachers, counselors, and parents will emphasize the importance of knowing where you want to be in the future during high school, sometimes even middle school. It became imperative that one chose their

All throughout school, students are ask what we want to be when we grow up. Many of us know or have a pretty good idea, but others have no clue what they want to pursue as a career in life, whether it be furthering their education at a university or attending a technical school. There are other students that plan to start work right out of high school. Either way we all have a plan, and the purpose of this paper is to inform you of mine. I personally struggle in making big decisions like deciding what to do with my life, but then I realized I have been asking myself the wrong questions. Instead of asking what I want to be when I grow up, I asked myself what do I want out of life? what are some of my goals that I wish to achieve? This led

Eliminating emotions can cause many different problems in humanity. In the book A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, it focuses on many situations that could have been different if the World Sate did not eliminate emotions. Eliminating emotions from humanity can cause humans to act inhuman, lose the meaning of love, and release stress and negativity.

I mostly agree with Montgomery’s opinion on how emotion shouldn’t take advantage of our decisions for a better future. We shouldn’t let human remorse become an obstruction for helping our future generation, or it could hurt others, the future, and ourselves. One reason I agree with this statement is because emotion can get in the way of making wise decisions for our own future. One example of this is in the novel titled Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck. In this story, George kills lennie using a revolver.

I don’t know very many women that plan this kind of thing, and if they do, they’re crazy. You make certain decisions in your career that ultimately can lead in this direction. If it works out, it’s often times serendipitous. There are people that I know that have planned, this is what they wanted to be and good for them. I can’t say that was ever part of any plan that I had.

Individuals fail in life due to their inability to be true to their emotions. According

It is essential to figure out who you are, and where you are going. The plan for your life needs be aligned with who you are. Your personality, your

Planning, just like saving for the future does not always come natural to a person and a lot of times has to be recommended by professionals. It takes personal discipline along with dedication to follow a good retirement plan. In order to achieve personal goals for retirement there has to be a plan of action to obtain success. Proper planning for retirement will also provide a positive outlook for that stage of life.

As people always say, “Hindsight is 20/20”, but if we would look forward in time and plan instead of making gut decisions, making better decisions and choices would definitely be easier to do. Robert Frost said it best in his poem, “The Road Not Taken”, when he said, “Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim” (Frost). This shows that when Frost got to a fork in the road, he sat down and evaluated both options before making a selection. He looked at the path on the left and then the path on the right so he would know exactly which choice to make and how that choice would work for him. This applies to everybody. When there is a big choice to be made, we need to evaluate every option and then look into the future to see how the options will benefit us later. If at the time a choice seems perfect, but there is no future benefit, why make that choice? If everybody has a common goal to be the best person that they can be and to be as successful as they can in life, the choice that is made needs to be a thirty day or thirty year decision, not a thirty second decision.

Some people grow up knowing exactly what they want to do; I, on the other hand, do not know exactly what career path I am going to take, but I have learned that is okay. I went through most of high school presuming that I had to have my life planned out by my senior year and I recently realized that was an unrealistic expectation to put on myself.

You might feel satisfied after having a good night’s sleep, nervous before exams and finals, or angry when you stub your toe. However, a person’s emotions can also lead them to make bad decisions

The future, along with time, is an extremely scary thought. Due to the fact that it is unpredictable. However we can work hard enough to the point where our future is what we want it to be. But obviously everyone's future plans are different, right? Usually yes, but it just depends on how you look at the topic, and how you would ask the topic. For example a fairly common question people ask today would be “Where do you see yourself in twenty years?”, for me, my answer is usually about architecture, or some where in the military, serving in the Navy. I have been told that I should go into training for this highly trained group, call the Navy Seals. These are highly trained operatives that do the missions that are too hard for normal soldiers

Many people are already thinking about what they want their life to be like in the future. My future begins in college. I’ve been waiting to go to college since middle school. I’m interested in taking anything in the medical field such as nursing, pharmacist, medical technician, etc. I believe this will benefit me, my family, and other people because I want to take care of my family, other patients, and also myself by learning more about health science. To me, successful is happiness, and happiness is not necessarily being wealthy. My happiness is having to help people and also having a family who cares and supports me.

Upon being asked about my future, I have always been met with anxiety and fear of such unknown. Growing up, as more and more of my peers developed their specific interests and even revealed desired career choices, I only felt lost in terms of what I wished to purse. I found that I was easily overwhelmed if I allowed myself to read too deeply into the dreaded “what am I going to do with my life” question. I have come to realize that it is much less anxiety provoking, however, if I view this matter on a smaller scale. After all, I do have aspirations and goals that I strive to achieve on a short-term basis.
