my goals in life
Wesley Christopher
October 9, 2013
My Goals in Life There are so many things in life that I want. We all need money to buy the things we want. We all need a place to live, a car to drive, and a job to get it all. While growing up, I have always been told that I need to go to college to get the things I want. I would have to find a career to make all of my dreams come true. It is not like we all get a genie with three wishes, giving us what we want out of life. I wish it were that easy. My entire life, while growing up, we have to rely on our parents for the things we need. We reach out to our family for advice, money, and the desired item of the day. We rely on them to help us get our license, then our first car, and car insurance. College for me, leads to freedom, to adulthood. Every day, I learn more and more to rely on myself and becoming the man that I am meant to be. The one thing that no one tell you is college is hard work. The courses can be a lot of work. It is definitely not High School anymore. I like to spend time with my friends. I also have a part time job. The time I have left, I have to put a lot of time into studying and homework to keep up with everything. I have thought about being a dentist or going into Banking. When I do finish school, whether I am a dentist or a banker, then I will have to get my job. All of this is a little scary, but it is also exciting. I realize after I get my job that I will also have student loans to pay back. I also will finally get my freedom to go and do as I want. I will be able to buy the kind of car I want. I can finally get the house I want and I will be my own boss. To sum it up, all my goals lead me to college. I am excited to be here. I look forward to what tomorrow brings. We all can enjoy the day to day, hanging out with our friends, going to the mall, but at the end of the day, we need to study the books to ensure that tomorrow becomes what we plan. If we don’t , we

    Coming into my senior year not knowing what I wanted to go to college for was very frustrating. Family and friends were giving me all kinds of different ideas and I could never just decide on one. It was very frustrating trying to find something that I would love to do for the rest of life. My mom finally suggested something that caught my eye and that was speech pathology. I researched about and thought about it so I decided I would give it a shot. I finally job shadowed a speech pathologist and I feel in love with the career. I loved getting to experience the things they do to help people and knowing that I will be able to help people in my future is the best feeling. Knowing that it is hard to get accepted into the program and it is going to be very expensive, I could not be anymore excited. It is going to be very hard but I know that I am going to be able to do it because I want it bad enough. If someone wants something bad enough they will do their best at what they are wanting and get it.…

    Coming to college was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only has it matured me but it has also taught me things about myself that I never knew. Not only is it a new experience, but an entirely different atmosphere from the high school life. My first semester here at North Carolina Central University was overwhelming. I found myself being busier than I’ve ever been. But, it was all for the good. I learned how to be productive and manage my time more effectively.…

    Being a high school senior, college is on my mind constantly–applications, admission essays, reference letters, and of course financial aid. This is a considerable amount of work, but it doesn't bother me because I know I want to succeed in life, and college is the place to begin. But everyone is not like me. Some soon-to-be-college students are as dedicated as me; others plan to attend college for something besides an education. Students attend college for diverse reasons.…

    My goal in life is to become a writer. I have always been fond of books. As I am an only child I was very lonely. Both my parents worked, leaving me in the care of servants. When I grew older I was a latchkey kid who let herself into an empty house with a spare key. All I had for company was my pet kitten and a shelf full of books. Books made me forget the fact that I was lonely.…

    I want my life after high school to be successful. I don’t want to be a person struggling in life having to worry about the next job. That’s why I’m deciding to go to college to get a better education and find a career job that I will have a passion for. Especially the way the economy is right now I think whoever has the opportunity to go to college should take it. If a person graduates high school and doesn’t go to college they won’t be as successful as a person who went to college to get education to better themselves in the long run.…

    When I graduated from high school, I could remember my teachers discussing how life will be after that. And some of the things that I could recall from those discussions were college life. Entering the college means you don’t have a specific target like entrance exam in junior and high school. At this time, looking at the future and planning ahead will help you complete what you need and help you get who you are, where you want to go and what you need to get there.…

    Reaching the top of the tree in one's chosen occupation or profession is the usual standard by which success in life is measured, at least in the Western world. However many Asians would reject this criterion. The contemplative religions assert that success is only measurable in terms of religious advancement and of the acquisition of the virtues. Thus, success would be in inverse ratio to material advancement.…

    Aimless life is certainly a sin. Many people have no definite aim in life. They are like the travelers going a head without any destination. Such people lead an aimless life and what they do in life, is largely a matter of chance, determined by the circumstances in which they happen to be placed. Aimless people do not achieve any thing in life. They just live because they have to live.A man or woman without an ambition is really an unfortunate person because his life is just like a ship without a rudder. It is at the mercy of winds and will be tosses hither and thither aimlessly. As it does not have any set destination. It will reach nowhere. Without any set aim a person can achieve nothing in his life. One should have a definite purpose of life. The people who want success in life, first of all, determine their target. They keep before them their circumstances, their virtuous, their qualities, their talents and their ability to work.
