Personal Aspirations In Life

    I’m the type of person that is always determined to overcome my hardships. I’m currently a senior in high school planning out my future. Since the age of  nine my parents knew what my purpose was. My mom always used to call me “her little helper.”I would run around the house with my toy doctor kit asking every individual that came to our house if I could listen to their heartbeat, or check their pressure. I was raised in a family where giving back was a must. I grew up helping at a local food bank, and giving out school supplies to kids in need. As I got older I realized that I was put on this earth to help others.

I was taught that if you wanted anything, plan, peruse, do your best, never quit, and only then will you achieve your goals. My parents have been that example because of where they came from and the hardship they have gone through. This has molded me into the woman I am becoming to face my fears, grab the wheel, and steer my life into what I want it to be. I’ve always enjoyed helping other people from my many years in volunteering with Red Cross to giving my time to an elderly home. Working with Red Cross I was always put in the mother baby unit, seeing the new infants and getting to see the nurses having fun with their jobs I decided to pick a career I enjoy. Volunteering at a elderly made me realize how much I took pleasure in taking care of other peoples’ family members while they were away.

During my last semester in undergrad, I suddenly became severely ill. After going to several specialists and being in the hospital, it was unclear what my diagnosis was. I was medically advised not to continue with school or work. That did not stop my determination. I worked hard to complete my degree, go into massage therapy and work on Capitol Hill. It is my drive and the things I have witnessed that pushes me to excel. My childhood experiences gave me a humbling foundation because the community was very poor. My family taught me to always help others even when I do not have a lot to give. One of my goals is to become the best that I can be to help my community and to show the younger generation that their future is not determined by where they start but by how well they run the

Early on in life, I wanted to dedicate my life to serve the population one way or another, to help make a difference, and medicine has been the path I’ve chosen. When I was younger, I wanted to be the one to help my family when they were sick, but I helplessly sat around being able to do nothing. Even when I was asked what I wanted to be I replied a few things; a singer and dancer like Michael Jackson, a lawyer, engineer like daddy, or a doctor. I think you may know which one I stuck with. Recently when my twin sister tore her ACL, it magnified the feeling of helplessness and affirmed my aspirations as well. As a child, my mother became sick when my pregnant with my younger brother Andrew. There’s been many deaths in my family such as the passing of my father’s dad to cancer, that they didn’t know he had until he died. My maternal

Knowing what I excel at has given me the ambition to rise to the challenge of earning a college degree. I have attempted on line school seven years ago and I had to make the difficult decision to withdraw from school when my family and financial obligations became overwhelming. I look back on that experience and have been able to analyze myself and now know what was lacking in my life at that time. I was not close with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I was attempting to control all the angles of my life alone instead of allowing the Lord to help me. In the midst of my struggle for control I was unsure of my own strengths, passions, and abilities. Since that time I have been working in the human services field as the assistant director of a local adolescent girls group home. Working with at risk

Growing up, education was not the first priority in my family. Education always took a backseat to helping my mother who is mentally and physically disabled and my 10 siblings. By the time I was 18 years old, I was able to administer my mother’s insulin shots, give my mother the correct dosage of her medication and when she would have a seizure attack, I knew how to calm her down. I found comfort in knowing that I could assist my mother, and when we would go to the doctor for her checkups, it was always good reports. Unexpectedly, my father slipped into a diabetic coma for over 3 months, before passing away from kidney failure years after. In addition, my older brother was sentenced to life in prison with no parole. Everything seemed to go down hill from there. I started getting bad grades, hanging out with a bad crowd. My interest for anything started to slip away. There was a particular moment where I was sitting in my car at the beach, angry about my father’s death, and I thought to myself, “what could I do to make things better”, and it was then I had realized that I couldn’t change what has happened to my father, nor my brother, but I can change what is happening to me. In turn, this realization and being involved with my mother’s health, the motivation given to me by family, peers, and teachers all led me to want to pursue success though my greatest

Scholarships are more than just an amount of money; they are are steps to help reach your goal. If I was awarded this scholarship, it would put me one step close to paying for my college education and my goal to help people. My personal goal for when I get out of college is to work for the agricultural sector of the government and to be involved in politics. I have a dream of one day being in the position where I can develop an organization that would teach inner city families how to produce food on their own. I would teach them the basic concept of urban agriculture, which is growing produce in a heavily populated town or municipality. My goal would be for them to realize that they do not need to rely on government handouts to survive; they

My personal goal as a student at the University of Phoenix is to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management within the next two years. This goal is very important to me because of the impact it will have on my family, work and personal life. In my family it will set a positive example for my daughters, grandchildren, and youngest sister. My family has been a source of support throughout my years in college as I have pursued this degree while maintaining a full time job. Obtaining the degree will be an accomplishment not only for me but also for my family who has given me the encouragement to reach my goal. I would like for my grandchildren to remember their grandmother as a strong and educated woman.

Goal setting has always been an important factor in my life, because of that I have accomplished things that I am very proud of. Without goals it would make it very hard to succeed in life because there is nothing to work hard for. Goal setting is a constant reminder of the things that are important to you. It gives me the motivation to work hard every day so that I can achieve my goals. Goals are what keeps each of us different. Throughout my life, I hope to continue to set goals.

As a child and even as a teenager one tends to make dreams and set goals for life. On occasion these goals are far stretched and sometimes even fairy-tale like, we tend to see life through a rose-colored glass, not taking into account the many sidetracks life throws our way. At that stage in life our goals tend to be less focused and somewhat unreachable. However, the process of growing up, or maturing, tends organized and center our goals, we learn to make compromises and set goals for our goals. There are different types of goals, short term and long term. I have learned to separate the many goals I have into three main categories: family, professional and personal.

My whole life I have always wanted to become a successful engineer, and graduate from the University of Cincinnati. Some of my goals in life are to go to the University of Cincinnati. Another one of my goals is to become some type of engineer. But as of right now I would like to be a aerospace engineer. To be honest I really don’t know what influenced me to want to become and engineer. But something about engineering always appealed to me for some reason. But lately my engineering teacher has had a positive impact on me and is really making me like engineering and the overall field. So I guess that Mr. Smith has influenced me into being an engineer. My plan b is to be an engineer too. But this type of engineering would just be easier to

“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into visible” -said Tony Robbins, author and life coach. Everyone has challenges throughout their life, but people have strengths that can lead up to effect their future. We use our goals to keep us motivated and our strengths to help us get past the challenges we face. Our weaknesses fade because our strengths become so strong and we are faced with new challenges. With each challenge we overcome we become stronger and we find more strengths in our challenges. I am a great friend because I always care for my friends and i'm their shoulder to cry on. I'm a very strong-willed person because I don't give up on something I want easily. I’m stubborn because I
