My Vision Is Turning Out At Michigan State University

I have several goals but one of them is about my academic studies, high school and college. It’s important to set goals for school so you’re able to succeed. For high school, I am aiming for a 3.8 or higher GPA (grade point average) because I will be able to get into a superior college. Also, I want to quit procrastinating because it will increase my chance of earning A’s on tests and quizzes. After I have successfully graduated high school, I’ll be heading off to college. As a ninth grader in high school, I haven’t decided on my dream college. However, my goal is to get a major that best fits my dream job so that I will have a higher possibility of earning a job as a detective. Another

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.

I have struggled through many years trying to find the perfect career I wanted to do for the rest of my

After graduating high school, I went straight into the work field for 2 and a half years. I never really appreciated school growing up and never gave a real effort in grade school. After 2 Years of not going to school, I began to notice and appreciate the value of receiving an education. At first i was hesitant of returning back to school because of my age, I was 21 years old. Most people my age were finishing college and I was just beginning. When I first attended NOVA my goal was to just receive my associates degree in business administration but after a year I realized that I shouldn't just settle for that when I could get my bachelors. I finished my last course at NOVA this past summer and it was a great feeling. I had always planned to

Being an older, non-traditional college student with 36 years of life experience behind me I thought I had my life figured out. Academically, I would take the degrees that I already have, coupled with the joint Bachelor’s degree I am about to receive from St. Mary’s University, go to law school earn my J.D. Become a practicing attorney and watch the life I have always wanted start to unfold. When given this assignment however, I began to seriously question myself about my passions in life and an immense dissonance overwhelmed me. Nearing 40 years old, I have felt for some time, that I should have in order what I want to do with my degrees and my life for that matter. If I was honest with myself, I do not and therefore, began to do a lot

I currently attend Tennessee State University as a freshman. I plan on majoring in Dental Hygiene. I am the first to graduate and attend college in my family so of course everybody has high expectations from me. My mom and dad sacrificed a lot for me to attend school and get a good education and they taught me that without education you really can’t do much with your life. I want to have a good career and a good degree so I can be successful in life. I want to make my parents happy and very proud of the young lady they have raised. My father’s dream has always been for me to major in Dental Hygiene because of how successful I can be. And my dream has always been to make my dad (my inspiration and my role model) happy. When I started off

Because of this circumstance, I have decided to utilize my college experience as an opportunity to learn more about myself and what I love. Many youth feel as if they need to plan their lives out ahead of time and that they should know what career to pursue by the time they graduate; being lost and confused about the future, however, is not only limited to our teens. For this reason, I wish to encourage my peers to treat their college experience the same way. Finding out what we are passionate about and pursuing it is important not only because it allows us to avoid ennui, but also because it is a powerful motivator that helps people grow and reach new

Before attending the University of Arizona, I felt a need to set a specific goal to achieve in ten years later. The collegiate journey was more different than I aspect. With far more about many options in careers, I had realized that broader goals could help me explore what actually interest me the most. Before I started college, I had chosen pre-physiology. However, I am majoring in biomedical engineering now and really enjoy taking engineering courses. Currently, I have broadened my horizons to consider both graduate and medical schools unlike before. Before, I never believed that one can change goals so rapidly. Now, college has changed me.

When I graduated from high school I wasn’t sure what I wanted to pursue in my future plans. I knew drawing comics interested me, but was told countless times from the peers around me to strive for a more universal degree such as graphic design or animation. Even though I was against the idea at first, I soon decided that would be wise advice to follow. This is where I made a mistake, I started to lose interest and it felt as if nothing had changed since high school. I can now look back from this experience and see where this was a major learning curve in my life. Soon after starting college my family needed extra assistance at home so I decided to take a break from my education and help my family by getting a job while also helping out at home with our former family business. Through this experience I truly learned a great deal. The people I met, and the experiences I

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

As soon as you hold that degree you are going to hear things like, "If you want a great career, you have to pursue your passion, you have to pursue your dreams, you have to pursue the greatest fascination in your life," you hear it again and again, and some will get motivated and decide to do it, and some decides not not to do it.It doesn't matter how many times you download Steven J.'s Stanford commencement address, you still look at it and decide not to do

I have high ambitions; I am a dreamer. I still have not selected a college because if it is not the right place, I will not put my whole heart into my time there. Likewise, a college degree takes effort, if I am not in a school or major that I would put all of my effort into, I know I would have a mediocre experience, and not the astonishing encounters I desire while in postsecondary

During undergraduate study, I struggled with deciding on a career. My degree was always in music, but at one point, it was music education. At another point, it was pastoral music ministry, to be trained as a church music director. The greatest struggle was recognizing what career fits me best. Knowing there is little money to be made in music and education, I took classes in nearly every discipline. Human and veterinary medicine are extremely important and pique my interests, so during my junior year of undergraduate study, I began pre-medical coursework. During my second semester of these courses, life got tough, and I could no longer meet the demands of being a student. The only classes I finished were music. I always showed up and gave my all for music. Music has always been my foundation; I have always felt most like myself while playing piano, while singing, and while teaching music. Biology and chemistry are fascinating; I loved those courses. But, they never invigorated life like music did and continues doing.

First semester of senior year is coming to an end. The graduation countdown has started. During my freshman year, I couldn’t imagine myself getting this far. To this day, I challenge myself to everything I can do. Whenever I fall, I get back up. The past few years, I started to see what the real world truly looks like. I learned the real world is difficult, but the only way to get further is to accept the challenge I am given. The world has many interesting things and adventures to explore. As well as, discovering what career path I should follow. However, I have selected three careers I would like to major in. I started looking into film/video editing, physical therapy, and automotive engineering. By selecting these three, I believe I can find my true passion to help the world. Also, what I would love to do my entire life.

It was 2005 and I was a senior at a high school in Florida. My whole life I was raised by my beautiful grandparents in Miami who always hoped for me to attend college and study a rewarding career. All my friends knew their goals and were focused on pursuing their careers. I witnessed them trying to get into the finest universities; and many did get admitted into their dream school. On the other hand, I was uncertain what I wanted to study, although I knew deep down inside I was just as intelligent and driven as my friends.
