As long as I could remember I wanted to help my family, I wanted everyone I knew, and especially everyone I was close to be so financially secure that they could buy pretty much everything they wanted. I didn’t want my father being ashamed to say no when my siblings and I were asking for something, and I didn’t like how my father was working two dead end jobs to support the life we were living, and to pay of the credit card debt that we accumulated. I wanted to work in my father stead, I wanted to lift him of his burdens and be the man that did everything for his family, I wanted to be the column, the support of the family. When I was younger I wanted to be everything, I wanted to be a trauma surgeon, I wanted to be a lawyer, a detective, military personnel, I …show more content…
I wanted to be an investor, I wanted to be a real estate investor. My goal was to start a real estate investment company, as soon as I turned eighteen, but it would be a long- way till then. I went to the vocational school to study civil engineering, and architecture, that is what most real estate developers go to school for, and that is what I was learning in high-school. My junior year of high-school, was when I start paving my future, it was when I chose my board of directors for my company. It was my close friends who I chose. Max, my middle school best friend, he was going to be the COO, Andrea, my high school best friend, he was going to be the CTO, Jonathan, my friend who was in the business shop, he was going to be the CFO, Hunt, my friend who was going to be the CMO, Josh who was not on the board but was a senior member was going to be STO he was going to handle the technology of the company, and myself, I was going to be the Chairman of the Board and the CEO of the
I toured numerous homes, sat at many closing tables, listened to a copious amount of real estate related phone calls all by the age of 6-years-old. I was born into a family of entrepreneurs who taught great work ethic, public speaking skills, and an overall understanding of the real estate industry. At 6-years-old I aspired to become the youngest realtor and Colorado. At the age of 18 I attended American Real Estate College to obtain my real estate license and my work ethic allowed me to pass my realtors exam with flying colors.
Growing up, money was never a huge issue to my family, not to say I was spoiled, but I was definitely privileged. I grew up in Fairfield County, Connecticut, went to private schools my entire life, had a stay at home Mom and a hard working Dad. I believed this was how it was always going to be, until my freshman year of high school. My parents started to fight a lot, especially late at night as I would lie in my bed feeling my families happiness slip away. My parents decided it would be best for the family to get a divorce. I believe this was the beginning of my passion for finance, not because of the constant yelling and screaming that led to the divorce, but the result of the separation. My Mom met my Dad in college and thought she would spend the rest of her life with him and foolishly dropped out of college to follow
Real estate has always been extremely interesting to me, even at a young age, I knew that I wanted to make a career out of it. Initially, my interest was sparked by watching HGTV (Home & Garden Television) with my mother on the weekends. My fascination for real estate continually expanded the more I had the chance to witness all the amazing houses and beautiful designs on the television. My desire to be a real estate agent only grew from there on out. When I began attending high school, I wanted to take classes and join clubs that would help lead me closer towards my chosen career path. Therefore, I joined Distributive Education Clubs of America my freshman year. Through DECA, I was introduced to a multitude of knowledgeable skills relating
Growing up in a family of eight and seeing my parents struggles to provide for us had always made me wanted to become independent and
In my early childhood years I grew up very poor; eating mostly beans, cornbread, and ramen. I grew up seeing how a lower education can affect your life and your children, that why from a young age I knew I wanted a stable future where I knew my children would be able to have a happy life. And with that goal I knew I would either have to get a higher education, somehow land a well paying job early on, or serve in the military. With the beginning of high school I lost sight of my goal not really thinking
If I had made a list of my child hood dreams, I admit, it wouldn’t be very impressive. I never wanted to be a firefighter or a policeman. I never had the urge to be a millionaire, and I never even thought of being a G.I Joe or Army Man. If you could see my list, you would see only two words scribbled down in that chicken scratch hand writing of mine. But only one of those words would follow me out of that first grade class room and stick with me to this present day.
People now do not realize the prosperity that they do have, but they focus of the lack of wealth they do not possess. My personal goals revolve on success for not only myself, but the future family I will have when I am older. The American dream has changed from generation to generation but one thing has remained in this dream: a comfortable life. When children are younger, they usually state they want to become rich and famous when they’re older but as they grow older they typically change their dream to lead a comfortable lifestyle for their family in a stable environment with a good school.
My parents always encouraged my siblings and I that we were capable of doing anything that we set our minds to. It didn’t matter where or what we wanted to do; all that mattered was if we had the passion to do it and succeed. From that, I was always set on becoming a doctor. It didn’t matter what kind; I just knew I wanted to help people. From a young age, I knew that my parents worked hard so that my siblings and I might have a better life than my parents. Both of my parents came from Vietnam with little to nothing. They both got jobs at Excel before they were twenty, and, after ten years, they met each other and got married. They and bought a motel and restaurant, and managed that for another ten years. They were
In my late adulthood, i want to take off from work and voluntier in the hospital as a nursing. I also want to continue eating health food: vegs, fruits and white meat. I want to be active as much as i can. I want to have friends that i can talk and share my experiances. I want to raise my grand children as i reaised my chilren. I want to be a part of my family and help them when they need me. I do not worry about the way i am going to die and who is going to take care of me. As long i life i have a faith that my children will be there for me. My culture teaches the parents should be taking care as they took good care of you when you were young. I have strong belief that i will get care through my family.
Of course everyone wants a high paid job so they can be successful and have money so they can spend it like it’s nothing and never have to worry about being broke ever again, but for me it’s about the feeling of accomplishment, knowing that my parents are proud of me, and knowing that they don’t have to worry about me or my future. I want to be able to take care of them and give them things just because I can even though they say they don’t want those things, just the thought of me being able to afford it for them would be all I need because I always put them first before even myself. For example my mom always says “ When you make your money and you want to gift me something I will happily take it but you will never see me knocking on your
The American Dream has changed so much since the 1920’s. In this day and age most people's dream is to become rich, famous, and to be accepted into society. To be equal there are so many people who are fighting to be equal and all the social media spreads the news and we only focus on the bad things. Also, people are in tune with materialistic things and having the nicest and the most expensive items. For example, who has the newest and most expensive shoes or clothes are big materialistic things. My idea of it is to become wealthy enough to provide for my family and friends especially my parents because of how hard they've worked to get to the position we’re at now.
I also wont to be A special Mechanic to be able to fix anything. I would like to help my family members who helped me because I love them and that’s what I here for. I once wonted to become a basketball player in the NBA but I said no because I’m better at other things. As far as pool, checkers, drawing, cutting hair. I wonted to own my own barber shop, or maybe A arcade Building for where kids and young adults can come and enjoy there own time. I’m that person that would participate in any fun activities. For example in middle school we had our 8th grade T-Shirts we had our mascot name on them and at the end of the year we all wrote our names on each other shirts. Then we had our fun day which was bouncy air balloons water slides air hockey and plenty of more stuff. In high school I was A nice funny kid who help friends with projects class work. My attendance was good I was cool with all my teachers if I needed makeup work to get my grade up they would provide it for me. My science teacher always told me that I get a B+ and higher for my projects because they was always good. Usually when I go home I love to work on bikes bmx bikes mountain bikes chopper bikes all different type of
As stated in my personal statement, I was intuitively drawn to law as a system that requires a high level of logical and analytical skills, but my motive lies deeper in the belief that law as a powerful social factor can exert palpable impacts on the society. Throughout the course of my study, I have developed a strong interest in biotechnology and the health industry; it is my hope to pursue a legal education that will enable me to participate in and even bring changes to their regulatory systems.
A good job is something everyone needs to have. It doesn’t have to be a doctor or dentist or any other traditional well-paying job. Your job should be something you enjoy and look forward to doing. To get a decent paying job you should go to college for at least 4 years. Although there is a couple lucky people who do or did okay without going to college. Mostly, nowadays people have to go to college to live well.
