Some people my age have no idea what they want to do, they get to college and focus on their general education and go from there, and that's perfectly okay! I, on the other hand, have figured out my career path and know exactly what I want to do. Ever since I was five years old, I always wanted to be a mother and a pediatrician. However, when I took anatomy in high school, I realized that being a pediatrician was probably out of my future plans. I knew I had the knowledge to be a doctor but realized that even the thought of blood made me nauseous. When I realized this, I thought I would never find a job where I could help children and make an impact on their lives. Than it hit me like a bus, a teacher makes a lasting impression on every child they teach. Whether it be a good impression or a bad one, they still make an impact and that is something I have always wanted to do.
I’m going to college with the hopes of getting my degree in Early Childhood Education. After getting my degree, I plan to apply at my former school and other schools surrounding this area. I remember looking up to my teachers and wanting to be just like them. When I entered high school I knew I wanted to help shape the young minds of children.
After pursuing my dream job, I will get married and hopefully have 10 children. My parents will be so happy! Big families are important to my family because we feel it is good to have a blood relation you can also call your best friends. I personally know that without my siblings I would not be half the person I am today. Through the good times and the bad they have always had my back when things get rocky and I could only hope my future children will have the same experience. After raising my children I will be at least 50 years old in which case I will be able to take some time off in order to travel the world and grow old with the man of my dreams, living happily ever and creating memories that will be passed down through future generations.
A Note to Readers: Having goals has got me this far and I can't wait to see how far it brings me in the future. You may not have it all figured out, you may not have any clue about anything. But I encourage you to set a handful of reachable goals. I promise that once you succeed at one, you will feel great and strive to reach the rest!
