Until today I never really gave creating a vision too much thought. The whole idea just seemed too touchy-feely for me. However, I realize that without a vision for my life, I am just passing time with nothing but a hopeless look in my eyes. Having a vision simply makes life more interesting because it gives you some sort of direction and guidance.
Five years from now I will be 28 years old and will have been graduated for four years with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Media Studies. Within those years after graduation I want to be working in broadcast journalism. This has always been my top career pick and I am determined to make it happen. I will be living in Los Angeles working for NBC Universal. Hopefully I will be married but honestly this is not what will be important to me at this time. Putting my own needs first will allow me to get to where I want to be.
Throughout my life I have made a lot of changes in the way that I live. By doing so I have become a much happier individual with a clear path for my life. Some of the things that have made the biggest impact on my life are: spontaneity, acknowledging that everything happens for a reason, and choosing to pick my battles.
Although life can get busy between work, school and attempting a social life, I think it is important to maintain a healthy balance between all these aspects. I am the happiest when I get the opportunities to spend time with my friends and family. Spending all my time and energy on work would
Many different things in people’s life can change their lives completely. One thing that changed the way that I look at things is softball. Softball as a whole showed me many life skills needed for my future. Softball changed my life in more ways than one. For example it showed me to have self control, watch my grades, and work together.
In my life I have had many changes in the past last year that have really been life altering. My main one is cutting my father out of my life. Some might say that is crazy and ridiculous but if you have been through what I have went through the past year with him you would do the same. He was alway harassing me on social media because i’m not calling him everyday. Which for a long time I just brushed it off my back but now that I have gotten older. I’m really just over it and i’m honestly more happier without him in my life. Another decision I
The single life-altering event that has happened to me was entering a long-term relationship. Many often wonder how their life has changed when they add another person to it, but for myself, it impacted my life in a very big way. I used to rarely do activities with friends, as I would mostly do activities by myself. I was always okay with being alone, however, when I met my boyfriend everything changed. We started spending every waking minute with each other and doing activities that we equally liked doing. It became more of a partnership than anything. This changed my leisure pattern because now I rely on my partner and what he is doing, as well as plan any and all my activities with him. We take into account each of our similarities
Changes in life can be tough to go through and sometimes they can be easy. Some of these things are harder than others and some can be a better choice. Like moving is one thing that changed my way i looked at people. Then there is growing up, growing up can be hard. Last but not least there is education. These things that you experience can change your perspective on how you look at life.
Change in our lives is a part of living. Without change we would no be here today living as successfully as we are. People don?t always see changes in their life as for the best, but usually when people see through the
In my life I have had many changes, some good, such as, getting married, having children and beginning my nursing career. I have also had negative changes in my life, such as, the divorce of my parents, or the death of my dad and many other family members. I must admit when changes occurred in my life I did not
I would have to say looing back over the last five years my life has developed in to exactly what I have always wanted it to be. After going through a nasty divorce about eight years ago I went on a path of self destruction. I started drinking heavily and using drugs and a way to numb the pain I was going through. Finally after doing a few things that I’m really not proud of I had a wake up call. I got in to some legal trouble which opened my eyes to all the things I may have lost if I continued living my life that way. I then decided it was time to make some changes, I went back to school and obtained my G.E.D. and then
Every little mistake and success story in my high school years qualify as a factor to my personal change but by far the biggest experiences were definitely my efforts of maintaining a good GPA and the participation in the National Honor Society. Trying to achieve and keep up with my GPA was harder than it appeared but due to all the effort I can anticipate that whatever the future has in store for me I will be ready to endure. Not only was the experience of my GPA life-changing but it was also the door to bigger opportunities, one being the National Honor Society. Although I doubted myself almost every step of the way I can truthfully say the experience was transformative in the sense that it taught me morals I will cherish throughout the rest of my journey.
Moving to America was the biggest change in my life. Before, I know very little of this world and my thoughts and opinion were very narrow. I did not have the best education and I think little about my future since I lived in a refugee camp. I also could not open myself up to people of different background because of the lack of diversity while living in the camp. But moving to America I was introduced with a new culture, education, and diversity that changes my life and my views.
Where do they come from? Visions are born in the soul of a man or woman who is consumed with the tension between what is and what could be. Anyone who is emotionally involved - frustrated, brokenhearted, and maybe even angry - about the way things are in light of the way they believe things could be, is a candidate for a vision. Visions form in the hearts of those who are dissatisfied with the status quo…Vision carries with it a sense of conviction. Anyone with a vision will tell you this is not merely something that could be done. This is something that should be done." (Visioneering: God's Blueprint for Developing and Maintaining Vision, By Andy
Here I am in my second year, not as far along as I had hoped. But I have discovered that many of my classmates also work full-time, and we see many advantages to being a working student. We are more mature and self-disciplined because we carry our work habits over to our studies. We concentrate harder than some of the younger, non-working students. Teachers seem to show us more respect. By taking longer to earn degrees, we have time to assimilate what we learn and develop our awareness from one semester to the next. While it’s true that we don’t have much time for socializing or extracurricular activities, we do learn to make friends quickly in classroom situations and make the most of our social opportunities between classes.
A life-changing event is not something to be taken lightly. Throughout our lives, we encounter many obstacles and changes, some of which bring us joy and excitement, others of which may be hard for us to handle. When I look back on my relatively short life, it may, at first, be hard for me to think of an event that has truly molded and shaped the person that I am today. I have encountered several changes, but at the time, they felt like mere speed bumps along my path. Looking back now, it is easy for me to see that these changes were not by chance, but were placed in my path to form the person that I am today.
There are many different life changing events that can change your life. Sometimes things happen in people’s life and they can’t do anything about it. Changes can be good and sometimes it can be a terrible thing that results in a positive turn in one’s life. Change is a part of life that no one looks forward to. Everyone’s life changes at some point. Life is full of many unexpected challenges that will be thrown in your face at any place and any time. People learn and grow from every experience that they go through in life. Some of the events that have changed my life was losing my grandmother, graduation, and going to college. Changes come almost every day in my life.
Going to college and taking dual credit classes during the summers of my high school career have played a huge role in my life changing. The classes gave me an experience I have never had before. The professor actually listened to every question and answered with a full explanation without hesitation. I will never forget the time I asked how to find the degree of a corresponding angle. The older students could tell I was struggling by all of the questions I asked in class. Without having to ask for help, they came to my rescue and taught me lessons a teacher never could. College provided me a sense of maturity that cannot be received from a high school classroom.
Unfortunately, the same situation most likely applies for many people. Yes, many do spend most of their time at work but assuredly if they were to reevaluate their time spent, they most definitely may find some of their extra time that could be spent on leisure.
