Personal Mission Statement

Satisfactory Essays

My personal mission is to graduate from high school with at least a 4.0 GPA and have a career in biology or the medical field. I want to talk more often and build relationships with new people I meet. I want to be able to stay positive even when I experience failure and learn from it, to be able to listen to criticism without fear, but with an open mind. I want myself to understand that there will be times where I would do something that I will regret or something unfortunate will happen to me, and that I must accept it. I must close the door behind me if I want to open the door that will let me continue forward. I need to learn that limits aren’t something meant to stop me from fulfilling my ambitions, but for me to surpass. Although there is a voice in my head telling me “No, there is no way I can accomplish anything, I’m too ignorant, I am too lazy, return to safety, etc.” I know none of these are true. I know that my strengths such as dedication, resilience, and hardworking personality will help me accomplish my aspirations. Furthermore, I am an individual who will never give up, even if I am told unless I deem it impossible. I want to remind myself that I can complete anything without any limits, if I put in the effort.

Finding this to be impractical, Rubingh developed the idea further until it turned into the competitive sport that chessboxing is today with alternating rounds of chess and boxing and a detailed set of rules and regulations.[4] An earlier version of combining chess and boxing was said to have taken place in a boxing club outside London in the late 1970s. The Robinson brothers were in the habit of playing a round of chess against one another after a training session at their boxing club. However, no direct correlation can be made between the Robinson brothers’ chess playing and chessboxing.[5] The same goes
