Who am I? Who do I hope to be? What are my goals for life? These were all questions I was asked in fifth grade during a project. My answer was, when I am older I want to play in the WNBA, own a big house, and be super rich. Of course, as times have changed I have gotten older my hopes, dreams, and goals have quite a bit.
Today, when I am asked about who I am and my answers have changed a lot since fifth grade. Physically, I am a freshman in college. I play women’s basketball, and plan to double major in business administration and sports management. I have strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes, and stand at five feet and eight inches tall. While all of those aspects make up who I am, they don’t really describe anything about my personality. So, on top of all of those things I am also a hard-worker, passionate, and very self-motivated. While these characteristics might be a good start for college, I hope to accomplish much more.
Let’s start with who I hope to be. In the future, my biggest hope is being happy. Now, what I think would make me happy in the future now, might change, just like it has changed since fifth grade. So, what I think would make me happy would be having a job as the head of marketing for a professional sports team, preferably basketball, but I am not picky. Another thing I currently get a lot of happiness from my family, and someday I hope to have a family of my own to come home to. To me having a successful career means nothing without having
I can conclude that even though I have some of my life planned out that things will change. Like I said earlier I am only in highschool , I don’t have to know who i am yet or what I am going to be. These are just questions I don’t have the answers to yet and I might not get them for a long time . Therefore I can say whatever I want right now about my goals and personal strengths and challenges but most of it will
My long-term goal with my college education is to complete my Bachelor's degree and eventually continue on to receive my Master’s degree in criminal justice. The first step to complete my long-term goal is receiving my Associate’s degree in criminal justice by May 2017. This goal is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.
As time passes and deadlines approach, a certain question seemed to constantly come to mind, “who am i?”. I never took the time to ask myself this question, but as my senior year slowly comes to an end, and the time to plan out my future is here, the question arose. It's difficult to find time to ask myself this question, and even more difficult to find the answer with so many other things circling my mind, especially around this time in the year. But in order to get to where I am now, I had to get to know myself first.
A big goal I have for myself is to continue growing and developing as a musician. I want to gain as much experience as I can as a music educator as well as a private teacher. I believe in order to be a successful teacher whether it is in a classroom or private studio setting, the more techniques and strategies you have to teach with the more successful you will be. Working with Crystal Malinski at Foundation Music School has been such an amazing and eye opening experience for me. I have observed and learned so many techniques and strategies as well as having the opportunity to interact with students. Something I really want to improve up is reaching out to schools around Fort Collins and asking to observe their music classes in order to get
I want to go through college and maintain a 3.0 g.p.a or higher while being on the track and field team all 4 years. I want to leave Christopher Newport University having broken the pole vault record and setting it even higher than it previously was. In the future I want to have graduated from college with my bachelor science in psychology then go on to graduate school and study criminal psychology and go further into detective work. I want to start a family have 2 children and live in a 4 bedroom house by the beach. I want to be able to live comfortably and not struggle to provide for my family. As long as my wife and children are happy then I know that I have been successful and in turn will be happy.
Everyone has their own goals. Some people dream to be a WWE wrestler, others aspire to become a criminal justice attorney. Goals are always varying from person to person. I have goals that I have specified for myself, academically, personally, and professionally.
I haven’t had many goals in life, but the few I do I plan to achieve. I plan to become very good at basketball, but I won’t join the NBA. I plan to make it into Postsecondary Education Opportunity (PSEO), and graduate with a Gates millennium scholarship, which pays 12,785 dollars on average. Those can all be achieved by the end of high school, but I have even bigger plans after that. I plan to become an orthopedic surgeon and attend either Harvard or Stanford. These are all big plans and I hope to achieve them all.
Everyone has life goals that they wish to achieve. Some may be completing college while others may be starting a family and getting married. My goals are completing college with my masters degree in business, gaining a successful job as an entrepreneur, and creating a maintaining at least three successful business. These goals may come with obstacles including judgement of gender, religion and race. Chapter 10, 11, and 13’s concepts in the textbook “Society the Basics” help me overcome these judgments by pointing out life lessons and important information.
My personal goal is that I stop eating fast food so often and start eating healthier foods. Every other week I stop to eat fast food either after school or after work, I usually am too tired to make food that is actually good for you so I just go stop at either Burger King or McDonalds.

My favorite subjects are Reading, English, Science, World Studies, Tech. My favorite Sports are volley, softball, basketball. My best is Kyleigh.
Who I am is made up from several aspects of my life and how I’ve developed over the years. Ever since I was younger, I was ambitious and tried to work my hardest to make everyone around of me proud. Of course, what third grader wouldn’t want to be praised? My elementary years were a breeze to me; I didn’t worry about making friends because it came naturally to me, I was in several advanced programs, and I made my parents happy, so everything felt amazing to me.
With the great advances in technology, anyone who is interested in a career can look at their dream job at the tip of their fingers. Companies such as Google and Youtube have so much information that almost any job is most likely able to be accessible. My main goals in life are to play baseball at a division one university, play professionally, and to earn large amounts of money. Ever since I was four years old, I knew that I wanted to make a living by playing baseball. I mainly love baseball because it is truly a beautiful game. There is nothing prettier than a hitter giving himself up just to get the run in. Actually, that move is so appreciated that it is not even counted against the hitter’s batting average. Baseball is a game that teaches players how to deal with failure.
I never thought this day would come. I always imagined graduating from college with a Bachelor’s in Biology, and applying to medical school to fulfill my greatest dream of becoming a medical doctor. Due to my immigration status all odds were against me, but now I find myself here applying to medical school. Most of my friends and acquaintances talked me into focusing on a construction, farming, or stereotype job, like the majority of my fellow undocumented folks. As an undocumented immigrant I grew up with limited resources and options, but I never let go of my passion and desire of continuing my studies after high school. I knew school was my only gate to a better life. It has been a tough journey, but with the support of God, my family, and professors I have been able to fulfill part of my dream by graduating from college with a Bachelor’s in Biology. I find myself a step closer to realizing my greatest ambition in life. Growing up in an undocumented, low-income household taught me to embrace the hardships of life and to always work hard for my dreams. It was the personal struggles and the impotency that made me realize I wanted to become a physician. At times of illness and diseases my family was unable to afford treatment, nor medicine, the only thing to depend on was hope. That hope grew the burden on me to help others, I can empathize with people in need, struggling with the adversities of life like I personally experienced. One day I want to have the capacity, and
I would have to say that my life task will be to be a problem solver. In the video “Tom Kelley(Founder-Ideo) - Do What You Love” the Venn diagram utilized by Jim Collins shows that with a good balance you can find your life task. Fourteen years ago, I used to work for Hewlett Packard and like the Venn diagram I was good at it, I was born to do and I got paid to do what I loved, code and solve problems. The environment was good to work, every Friday after work we used to gather outside the building to play dominoes. I would say if you asked myself where I saw me in five or ten years I would have answered that I would be working at Hewlett Packard. But that was not how it happened my division was the first one to go after the Compaq merger. This is probably my starting point for my mastery journey.
During life, expressing certain emotions and knowing the importance of them can determine whether life is short, so be thankful for what you have and for God giving you every breath you take. I believe my faith has helped me grow into the person I am today; as long as I have a family, God and self-respect I will live an amazing life.
