Where I See Myself in 10 Years
Lam Le Period 5 2/25/10
Brighter Than the Stars I remember the day when my dream was made quite well; my eyes were glued to the new plasma television while I was watching the Grammy Awards. My body was filled with excitement and joy seeing all the famous celebrities on the red carpet. Then when the awards were given out, I dreamed about myself receiving one of those awards some day. From that day onward, I set a goal for myself to one day become a famous celebrity, or even better, a global icon. Then, for a moment, the memories were engraved in my mind and everything became reality. And there I was at the Grammy Awards, accepting an award of my own. When I walked out of the exit, lights shone over me like a blanket of snow. Flashy cameras and the sounds of clicking lingered in my eyes and ears. I lost sight for a moment and began to rush to my limo. Paparazzi that were hidden from my view suddenly swarmed my personal space and tried to take pictures of me. There was nothing I could do: it was my duty as a celebrity to be in the spotlight. I would be living the life of fame and fortune. My achievements would cover the world with my face. Yes, my imagination took me there: what was once a common child with a dream would transform into a famous world icon with a status higher than the mountains in life. The road to fame and fortune may be rocky and full of obstacles, but I’m sure I can endure them and get there step by step. I know opportunity is one of the components, but I will not let fate control my future. Some career guidelines I did in the past have made me decide that my dream must be my foundation for my life, and that my life would be, in the same way, a foundation for my dream. My motto will be “If perfection is possible, then simply being better is not enough”, and I will do my best to live up to these arduous standards I have set by doing better in school. I am taking courses that will improve my communication and social skills. After

    Fortunately, by the fifth grade my parents were able to rent an apartment nearby our school and had found jobs in multiple Brownsville restaurants. After the move, things became much easier and we were able to have a much simpler life, though we were never able to forget the hardships we experienced and the effort we put into enhancing our lives. Today, I am sure my successes as of now are gratifying my parents as I am in the top 10% of my class, the Co-Captain of the Golden Stars Dance Team, member of the National Honor Society, Piano Club, HOSA, and in TRIO UTRGV talent search program. I attend rigorous AP classes to improve my opportunity to attend a university and have the finest future I can give myself. Although my triumphs may not look like much to most, I can assertively say that the trial of going through difficulty to have a superior future has been overcome with the comfort of focus, strength, and the right set of mind to build a better tomorrow for my family and…

    I surpassed my barriers and became Head Captain of my color guard while obtaining an officer position in other organizations such as National Honor Society and Business Professionals of America. As junior year began, I looked into different fields of creativity and discovered that graphic designing and creating things for others really was what really truly made me happy. It is set as my lifetime goal to pursue my life in a huge magazine company, Vogue, and become an Art Director or Editor-in-Chief. My creativity was hidden until I found a way to bring it out, and granting all this, I may not become the world’s most famous jeweler, but I feel like I have succeeded in unraveling my character and future career, and to me that is all that…

    “Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don't let anyone limit your dreams” Donovan Bailey. This reminds me of what my great aunt would always say. She always had high expectations for us, but wanted us to do whatever we wanted and always supported us. We were very close so when she died, I was devastated. This experience has taught me to be strong and accept what life throws at me.…

    “You’ll never make it,” they all said, my boyfriend, family, teachers, and friends. It was like my life was already figured out for me, as if I didn’t have a say. The message was loud and clear. They all expected me to fail, to settle for a minimum wage paying job, to settle for just a high school diploma. For a while I went around believing that all I could do was the minimum required. But then I realized that I was capable of doing so much more. As time went on I realized that I did not have to live up to other’s low expectations and I started making a name for myself. I knew that studying a little harder for every test, joining clubs, volunteering, and running for leadership positions would later pay off.…

    People today think of “fame” and “celebrity” as one in the same. But, consider what fame actually is, “something one earns- through talent or achievement.” Now think about a celebrity, many of them have yet to achieve anything at all, let alone something fame worthy. In fact, the typical celebrity has neither talent nor any accomplishments. In the essay From the Culture of Celebrity Joseph Epstein portrays fame and celebrity as two different things entirely. I think Steve Jobs is a great example of someone who has fame but is not a celebrity.…

    We all like to visualize where we would like to be, whether the vision is wanting to practise law or to become the biggest movie star. I have dreams of being a successful business owner or becoming a lawyer - whichever makes more sense to me in the future. Attending Queen’s University is the first step to achieving my dream. I hope to attend Queen’s this coming fall for either economics or computer science. Currently I am trying to make my vision of going to Queen’s become a reality by doing my best to keep my grades up in all of my classes and actively be a contributing member of society. After receiving my bachelors degree, depending on whether I choose the business path or law path, I plan on attending university for my master in business (MBA) or do a three year law degree. After finishing my schooling I hope to move to a city like Toronto, Montreal,or New York City as I believe I would have more opportunities to grow as a person and be able to secure better jobs. Another future goal of mine that is not school or career related is to own a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. To make this goal into a reality I need to ensure I follow through on my career goals. As you can see, I plan for many great things in the future. My main goal is to be someone I am proud of; to do it on my own and without anyone else's influence. My future goals are what keep me motivated to…

    Back in high school, I had always been a shy and introverted person, refusing to step out of my comfort zone. However, seeking a career pass in business requires me to step out of my comfort zone and explore my potentials. Staying in the comfort zone and never experience new things and never try to understand the complexity of the world will never help me achieve my big, hairy, audacious goal. My big, hairy, audacious goal for now is to be financially independent, so my parents don’t have to work so hard to support me. Also, I want to be an accountant and work my way up to be a Chief Accounting Officer, and maybe start a company of my own. My big, hairy, audacious goal might not be as big, as hairy and as audacious as other people’s, but I am willing to prepare myself in order to achieve my goal. This year, I am going to join the University Finance Association, in which I can have a deeper understanding of finance, and Austin Meal Movement, which is an organization dedicated to raise money for charity. Through raising money to help the needy, I can improve myself while helping others. Also, I will continue to stay active in Asian Business Student Association, where I served at a committee member planning one of the largest philanthropic event, Feed Your Mind, on campus. Working and interact with different people from different background…

    I am a person who has many, many dreams. There are an infinite amount of things that I would love to be an expert at. In a perfect world, I would be a professional dancer, a world renown singer, an oscars winning actress, a broadway star, a professional sleeper, a massage therapist, an astronomer, and a person knowledgeable about everything there is to know. With a list like that, it is very hard to try and accomplish it all. I have unknowingly become mediocre at these things. I have found my happy medium so I can enjoy these things and not lose my mind at the thought of it all. But there is one thing that I have recently decided to pursue. This decision came later than I would have wanted but better late than never. I have decided to change…

    It is true what they say: “Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward”. This saying has been more evident in my life in the last 13 years. I got pregnant at 16, gave birth to my son at 17, got married and gave birth to my eldest daughter (my 2nd child) when I turned 18, gave birth to my 3rd child at 19 and even before I hit 21, I had already broken up with my spouse. I was a high school graduate with no one and no where else to turn to except my mom, who died a year after I left my husband.…
