Economics Reflection
A few years ago I was in realization as a sixth grader that I was only halfway done my public school career now, as a tenth grader, I realize that I have less than three years until I graduate with my high school diploma as an adult. And when it seems like I’m just a kid and my whole life is ahead of me I’m living it now and the life that I’m looking forward to and seems to be so far away is so close. Having any sort of idea of what I am going to do with the rest of my life can point me in the right direction to make decisions that could change my whole future. After high school I am going to college, for what I’m not sure but I do know the more you invest in your education the better equipped you will be for your job therefore making a higher income to become financially stable and independent. For work I want to be in a recession proof job because I learned from today’s recession and its effects on the individual that even though you make all the right financial decisions that you could end up with nothing, I’m interested in the sciences so possibly being a PA (physician’s assistant) which would require a five year college program. But because of all of those college bills and debt, having a part time job throughout would be vital in ensuring I can pay for all of my schooling. After finishing all requirements for schooling I hope to be working in the medical field as soon as possible, hopefully having a job opportunity right out of college. Before my thirties I would like to be married. I do like kids but at my age thinking about starting a family is so far in the future and at such a different maturity level my idea of the future of having a family could be totally different as time goes on. But as of right now I’m hoping to have started a family by my early to mid-thirty’s. And

    Everyone is asked one question, at a very young age. That question is: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” There isn’t a time I can remember when an adult didn’t ask me this question. When I was six, I would respond with the usual movie star, fashion designer, or veterinarian. My answer would be said confidently, as at this age I walked through life as if it were no big deal. My answer occasionally changed to fit with my many childhood phases, but my view on the question stayed the same. When I was a child, I replied to this inquiry the same way everyone else did; I answered with an occupation. It took me years to discover my new approach to this question. My new response did not include my dream job, but how I saw myself in the future.…

    How Opa Changed My Life

    I was thrilled when Opa presented me with a college fund on my thirteenth birthday. It had two hundred dollars deposited in it and was, by one hundred and seventy five dollars, the most generous present that day. It was later in the week when my mother revealed to me that only after my eighteenth birthday could I put my hands on my grandfathers’ gift and was to be used exclusively for the payment of my college studies, something unappealing to a thirteen year old. I was disillusioned that moment, but years later I would discover what an asset it was, not only when in the midst of an economic crisis it would enable me to go to college, but for introducing me into the intricate world of economics.…

    Most teenagers do not have a clue about what they want to be when they grow up. Most young adults also do not know where their path is in life. Even some full-blown adults are still trying to figure out their purpose. I was lucky. I knew exactly where I belonged from about the time I was seven up until now, at the decently young age of nineteen. I do not see my path changing anytime soon; in fact, I know it will never change. But, I did not just wake up one day as a child and know what my path was, while that would be impressive. Defining moments in one’s life defines who they are. There were lots of things I experienced in my life that made me realize my purpose, my absolute passion. I had four of these defining moments in my short span of…

    I never thought this day would come as fast as it did. I feel like this year is just going to fly by and the next thing I know I’ll be packing to go to college, but let me not get ahead of myself. I remember always being asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The funny thing is, I’ve always known. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. I can look back to my younger years and remember playing teacher, writing out worksheets, teaching classes with my cousins. It’s something I always enjoyed.…

    In my first two years of high school not once did I think of my future. Although I knew that getting into college was important! It was during my last two years that I finally came to realize this decision would help determine the rest of my life. I found myself feeling a sense of panic as I struggled to identify the skills that would help me determine and achieve my lifetime goals. I decided to look closer at the classes I was taking and my extra curricular activities hoping they would help me understand the direction I should take. Currently I am a library and student assistant, I am taking Dual Credit government and economics, and have part time job. I am involved with these classes and extracurriculars because they improve my understanding…

    A wise person once told me to “find a career and I will never be without a job.” I took that statement and ran with it! My freshman year everyone was motivating and questioning me on my future and what I wanted to do with. It started off as a counselor until I realized I do not necessarily BASK listening to INCONSOLABLE stories all day! Next it was a meteorologist, but can’t we look outside and see that it's raining? Then it was a teacher, and for that one let's just everything isn't for everybody! I found myself becoming BEWILDERED and feeling DESOLATED because I had peeked my junior year; the year where everything is supposed to be VAST and ready to go, and I was still AMBIVALENT on what I wanted “in the real world” as I heard in the many EXPOUNDING lectures. It was not until the summer of my senior year that God had finally put it in my heart to become a Pediatric Nurse Advisor; to become this person that can ASSUAGE and ABATE people, to become the…

    In society today, a college degree and education is no longer considered an option for further education, but rather a necessity for a supposedly a superior job. College is investment of funds and time. College causes student loan debt and many college graduates become employed in professions that do not require a degree. In the 1980’s, bachelor’s degrees earnings and the earnings of high school graduates were nearly equivalent, likely causing the pressure families put on their children to go to college. According to the statistics of Business Insider, the financial return of college graduates is higher than the earnings made with a bachelor’s degree.…

    Every year a class of high school seniors graduate and then begin their lives as adults. While the choices they made in high school are important, the choices they make after this will be of the utmost importance. A decision of how to start their lives as adults either joining the workforce, the armed forces, or attending college are the choices they have to make. A lot goes into which direction the student will steer his or her life. Pressures of going to college come from not only school teachers, but family, friends, and peers also. Teachers tell their students that college is the best way to go if they want to succeed in life, as many careers require further education beyond that of a high school diploma. Parents are always glad to see…

    As I near the end of my high school career, I realize that I am not the same person who began 3 years ago as a freshman. While my teachers instilled the fundamental aspects of a well-rounded education, I learned through my own experience that education extends beyond the classroom. My activities in academics, athletics, community service and work experience, have instilled qualities in me that will prepare me for the immediate future of college and beyond.…

    I recently found a list of goals that I had written 20 years ago. Most of the goals were realistic and I was able to achieve them. While I was checking the items off my list that I accomplished, there was one that I have debated about for many years—returning to school to earn a degree. Returning to school has always been achievable; however, as each year of my life sped by and I got older, I always came up with more and more excuses as to why I should not return to school. One day I received a course catalog in the mail showing online classes at the college. I decide that an online class would be the first step to my future. I am so grateful for the first day of that class. All the excuses and delays regarding returning to school were in vain. It is amazing the different prospective I know have about being a child verses an adult in school.…

    I was the kind of guy who always strove in order to get the highest grades but yet hadn’t decided what to do in the future. I wasn’t worried, I knew someday I would find something in what I was good at. I got to live with that thought for some time until I got to attend middle school, where I stopped worrying about my grades and managed only to pass the subjects. I spent most of my time sleeping due to the frustration of not knowing what to do in the future. Most of my middle school experience was tasteless. I hadn’t friends at all, and teachers used to discourage their students about their future. “You're not going to college, you’ll not be able to do it because you’re poor” used to say, Mrs. Vazquez, the math teacher who instead of giving her class, talked on how much his son had accomplished in college and how we would not be able to attend. That was about to change.…

    This school year is coming to an end. Seniors are going to be graduating soon and before you know it, they will be beginning the next part of their life, almost at adulthood. Many people feel sympathy for seniors because they are basically deciding what they are suppose to do for the rest of their life. Now, this is true to a certain extent, but where high school students should really start thinking about their future is at the end of junior year. Some kids, by this point, already know exactly what they are going to do, I, however, do not know, but I do have an idea that could potentially turn into a plan, so I'll explain.…

    Do you pay attention in how fast time goes by? From the age of 5 we spend our time busy with school, and then we grow up to find a job and build up a family. Before we realize, time has passed by and all the dreams we had for our future have not yet come true. The reason is because our dreams are just dreams and haven’t yet become goals.
