My Ultimate Goal in Life

“When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful.” A

quote by Eric Thomas, from a motivational video I watched one day. Its senior year and time is ticking till

graduation. As I transform into a mature adult, it is time for me to make decisions and set out what I

want to be in life. My ambitions are to obtain an athletic scholarship for football, to help pave the way

to becoming a civil engineer. It will be a bumpy ride along the way, but I can propel myself to achieve

anything. I anticipate though sports such as football, can fund for my schooling to become a civil

engineer. If I have a phenomenal upcoming season I can hopefully get recognized by athletic scouts and

receive a full ride scholarship to a university. Though the off season I trained arduously to improve my

talents as a player. Once I have reached my goal of becoming a student athlete in college, I will study a

great deal to reach my main objective of becoming a civil engineer.

Civil engineers deal with the designing of roads, bridges, and major highways. They construct the major structures around a city .The description of civil engineers, are to be fluid in mathematics and sciences. Therefore, I have enrolled in Calculus A.P. and Physics 2 A.P. These are rigorous courses to take, but both are the foundations of engineering. So why not get a step ahead of my competition? I might as well get these courses over with in high school so I can roll right into college already knowing what to expect. if I have the college credit early in my schooling career , it would land me a potential spot to getting internships during the summers. I am also taking an engineering class in high school where I can get my certifications on different programs, that civil engineers use . The class will also improve my artistic skills needed to become a civil

    My dream would be to start my own business and have it to do something with football, which would help popularize the sport in America as people have not watched much soccer and still have a lot to learn about it.
