My Goals In Life

Growing up I have always had huge goals set for myself and I have had a lot of obstacles that have had a big impact on where I want to go in life. Those obstacles made me realize that maybe I can be different my life and that lead me to where I am today, senior year at Mountain View High School. I’m Caroline Kalcheff, and this is how I used my past issues to develop my future goals and dreams.

My decision to change my profession was unnerving, but I know that I have made the right choice. I am a Mass Communications major with a concentration in journalism. I have a great fascination for music, but

Everyone wants to be something, to become somebody, to know that the amount to the grand scheme of the universe. There is always such a deep fear of mediocrity. Eating away telling you “You aren’t worth anything.” that it’s all useless in the long run. This has been true for a long time. I believe humans have always felt this way. We have always wanted to matter. I think I finally realized that this year. I realized that some things really don’t change. Someone, somewhere along the line of time has felt the same way or will feel the same way. Human’s are complex creatures yet we are extremely simple minded. This is obvious as we look in the past, analyze literature and art, we realize that we have been talking about and thinking the same things for a long time.

I agree with Zinsser. You shouldn’t waste time on something you want to be successful in. You work hard to get the opportunity to see the gold wherever you go in life. That’s the whole point of maintaining the dream you choose.

Even if you can't make a living off the thing that makes you happy you should still keep it apart of your life. For instance if you can't become an artist, an athlete, or a author. It doesn't mean you have to stop. It means that their is something else in life you were meant to do. For me I'm a soccer player and I have been playing since I was 8 I keep on planning to play til College. Where I find the career that I want which I have decided on being a Physical Therapist Assistant, Engineer, or an entrepreneur. My dad wants me to be an Entrepreneur because it's a very smart job to have and I really like PTA so I haven't decided which I will in college where I will learn a lot more about the job. I like PTA because I will still be around sports

Thank you for having us read the tragedy of Willy Loman, The Death of a Salesman. You can work hard at anything, but if you are not passionate about it, you will get nowhere. It reminds me of one of my brothers that didn't realize he was chasing the wrong dream until it was too late. At school he was pursing different subjects, but at home he was passionate about music and rapping. Since he was an exceptional artist, he decided to go to an art school. Soon he realized it wasn't for him and dropped out, and now he has to start over. We must realize now while we still have the time and resources what we want from life and what we are passionate about. If we don't ask ourselves these questions now, we may not have later to consider them.

Throughout my entire life, I thought I knew what I wanted to do as my career. Even going into college I was deadest on getting my business degree in marketing and achieve my minor of fashion.

It would be a cliche if I said I have always known what I wanted to be in life, but for my particular situation this is true. "Boom!" a box fell it was moving day- again. When I was younger my family would have the tendency to move around. We never stayed in the same place for more than one maybe two years or three if I was lucky. By the time I was nine I had lived in about six different homes. I had seen so many homes that I began to have an interest in them. That is when I knew what I wanted to be. I wanted to be an architect. I believe my education is worth investing in because I am flexible, productive, and proactive.

All throughout my life I’ve always been at a lost with what I wanted to do. I would see something and become inspired, but moments later my dreams would be crumbled. As a child I’ve always had my fazes, once it was a nurse because all my aunts are in the medical field and I thought it would be interesting as well. Then it was as a criminal investigator, FBI or CIA agent due to my habit of watching criminal shows (aka Law and Order SUV, Criminal minds, and etc.). Finally, I hit a standstill with becoming a Criminal Justice Lawyer, but even then I wasn’t inspired anymore for it was just the easy way out of this indecisiveness. As a year went by everyone asked the horrid question I had been avoiding “what do you want to do in your life” and I

You do not necessarily have to make a career out of your passion, but if you do, that’s even better. Many people confuse the two. They feel if they do not put there all into their passion or their plans do not go as planned, they have failed. The average person is not doing what they truly love. How many times do you hear people complain about their job, dread going to work or cannot wait to leave their job? How many college students change their major numerous times? It is a very common conversation. Some people just do not know and that’s okay. There are people that are doing exactly what they have always wanted to do and they still complain. It just goes to show that sometimes you think you know what you want, but it really turns out to be nothing you ever hoped for. The key is to find a way to fulfill your passion so you do not resent yourself for the choices you had to

When I was younger I was frequently asked what I wanted to be when I grew up and just like most young kids my answers were somewhat impractical considering they involved a mix between a movie star, singer and princess. As I grew a little bit older my dad decided to teach me the value of money and how certain jobs have certain incomes. During high school I thought about many different career choices but never really felt connected to any of them. As high school drew to an end I felt quite pressured to quickly pick a future career, this lead me to chose cosmetology. My entire senior year I tried to assure myself that I wanted to go to cosmetology school and even went and looked at a few beauty schools. But as much as I tried to convince myself

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

Everyone must make a choice, once they reach a certain age, that will determine everything in their life. My dream job is to become an electrical engineer one day because I find interest in circuits and building electronic devices. When I was a young boy my dream not to be an electric engineer but something more along the lines of being a cook; however, that dream was short lived because my interest of being able to cook changed over as I got older and became interested in electronics. The way electronics work is simply amusing to me because I could not understand how the devices were operating, and honestly I still may not understand how these devices actually work. My backup plan for my future career would have to be becoming a

The future is a time or a period of time in which we follow through from the moment of speaking or writing our intentions. It is a time that has yet still to come. The future is what we work for, to go through school and have a career, in order to have a better life. My parents have taught me to work hard for the things I want, and I wish to have a bright future. That is one of the reasons why I am here at CI, to get an education that will help me find a career with sufficient salary that will support me and my future family.
