When I was younger I wanted to be a teacher. I enjoyed school and liked how nice my teachers were

As far as goals, I intend on graduating from college and fulfill my aspiration of having a professional career. Growing up, my father has always worked minimum paying jobs and living for paycheck to paycheck, while my mother has always been a housewife. Whenever it came to school, my parents encouraged me to do my best in my studies.

Every since I was little, my grandma would lecture me about how education and work can payoff in the future. Right there my life goals begin to form and I wanted to be a person my family could be proud of. One of those goals were making a lot of money to help my grandparents pay bills for the house. As I start to go deeper into my educational career the goal of becoming an Architect begin to form. My personal life and aspirations are shaped by family, Culture, and Education.

I have decided on what I wanted to do with college since I was a child. It sounds ridiculous, but I am passionate about what I want to do. I was inspired at a very young age since I was in third grade, and I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. A teacher for what grade is what I did not know. As my family grew bigger with my nephews and nieces, I realized that I wanted to be surrounded by kids. I put what I wanted with my passion and got major. My intended major is to receive a double major in Primary and Elementary education, my goal is to receive a Masters in at least one of these majors.

My granny was the only person in my family to have a college degree. I am the second because of her. From middle school on we talked about college, where I would go, and what I would do when I grew up. Parents encourage careers that lead to the greatest profit, mine were no different. My granny never encouraged me to choose a career based on the profit. She only encouraged me to choose what made me happy. Life had it’s own plan and some things changed how my educational journey would pan out, but that didn’t make it impossible. Because of her I knew anything was

When I was 5 my life changed completely. My sister and I were abandoned by our mother and father. I was then raised by my aunt and uncle along with my grandparents. I was taken in and loved as if I was their own. I want to show them and myself that no matter what happens in life that I can succeed and accomplish anything I set my mind to. Therefore, I am pursuing an Associates degree and the first generation in my family to go to college first generation in my family to go to college.

I was taking care of my father in his last moments when I stared to think that I needed go back to school and be able to accomplish something more with my life. I was not sure if becoming an elementary teacher or a psychologist.

Everyone has an idea of what they would like to be when they grow up. Some say they would like to be a Doctor or a Nurse or a Mechanic, there are many types of careers anyone can choose from. I chose to pursue a Language Arts Middle School teaching career. Many people say that a teaching career does not make a lot of money, but money is not the main thing in choosing a career, picking what you like and being what you like is the main goal. I chose to be a teacher because when I was in Middle School I had a Language Arts teacher named Mr. Tomov, I never really liked him as a teacher due to the fact that he never made class interesting. The school year went along and one day he called me to the side and asked me what my purpose was. I asked him

As a child I had always loved school. I loved to learn and dreamed about graduating high school, going off to college and having the time of my life and then having an amazing job. As I grew older this dream became more of a reality and something I started having to think about practically. During my junior year of high school, I finally had to start thinking about what I wanted to do with my life, do I want to be a nurse or teacher or maybe a lawyer? After talking it over I landed on becoming a librarian because of my love of books and I enjoy the quiet, calming sense that comes with library’s. For the next year I went deep into research mode learning whatever I could about becoming a librarian. My computer was filled with information about

When I was a child I wanted to be a veterinarian, I had such a passion for “helping” my furry little friends with the plastic toys my mom got me for Christmas. I was so dead set I never wanted to explore any other career field, well that lasted up until about middle school when I witnessed my first dog pass away. It was all downhill from there. So, after, I lived my life going with the flow and not thinking about much else except for friends, sports and school. Then the time came for me to choose what I really wanted to do junior/senior of high school when college applications were due and my parents really wanted me to pick a major before I started college. I knew I wanted to follow in my parents footsteps and do something in the medical field,

When I was little some of my closest family members were educators, so naturally I wanted to become a teacher when I grew up. Although, as I grew older I changed my mind about what I wanted as my profession a lot. I went from wanting to become a teacher to wanting to pursuing a career in the fashion industry as a fashion designer, and then I wanted to become a FBI Agent. I probably changed my mind a million times, before I realized that I wanted to become a teacher. I arrived at this decision in high school, more specifically during the first semester of eleventh grade.

When I was very little I wanted to be a fashion designer then I started to realize I had no real creative skills in sewing drawer or anything like that. Which upset me a bit, but I figured out I loved helping people and making them smile and feel good about themselves since I never felt that way so I decided to become either a psychiatrist or a nurse, I wasn't sure which one would be the best fit for me until I got into high school and got into an anatomy program and physiology program and I had more fun in the anatomy program. So i decided to try and go for medicine after high school and become a nurse, while in anatomy i learned that you could choose which area you wanted to study in and since i love working with younger people or people around my own age i decided a medicine would be the best fit for me at least that's what I believe. These Experiences have helped me be the person I am and stand out a bit more than I used to. I've had so many bad and good experiences in my life. My grandpa went to the hospital for a seizure, my uncle had ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and my other grandpa on my moms side died from liver cancer. These things that have happened in my life has wanted me to get kinto helping other people and fixing them not just their mind but there internal physic

When I was in high school, I had no clue what I wanted to be when I grow up. My parents encouraged me to look at being a doctor or engineer but I wasn’t too sure. I knew two things for sure at this young age; that I loved sports, especially football, and interacting with people. It was not until my sophomore year that I found what I am passionate about even though it came at one of the saddest time in my life.

I have goals as to why I want to further my education. I have been accepted to the University of Central Florida, where I plan on attending. I would like to study religion, go on to graduate school, and become a college professor. I had plenty of mountains to climb to get to where I am now. However, a plethora of opportunities helped me to climb those mountains.

I was once asked many years ago who and what do I wanted to be. I told my parents that I wanted to be a doctor, I told my high school counselor that I wanted to be a lawyer, and I told a teacher that I wanted to teach. However, what I learned in these 10 years is that sometimes life throws at you random stuff, and you’ve got to learn how to adapt to these changes.

From the time I was able to realize what College was, all I ever heard from my Mother was about how or why I should go to college. and to be honest, after hearing all that, it just made me not want to go to college, because I didn't feel like I was smart enough, I felt like I know I was going to let my Mother down after all the things that she does for our family, from raising seven children on her own to having to work day or night just so that we can have the opportunities that she never had. As I grew older college took on a greater meaning to me. Realized that by not going to college I was destroying everything that
