I am someone who strongly believes in the concept of goal setting. Setting goals motivates you to work hard to achieve anything you set your mind to. There is no better feeling than achieving a goal you set for yourself. Goals are often ideas you have that take steps in order to successfully carry out.

Since I can remember, the idea of interning in New York City and eventually creating a career there is something I have been obsessed with. This summer, I had the amazing opportunity to make this idea a reality and I could not be more grateful. Every time I walk up the stairs from the subway and look at the concrete jungle, I fall more and more in love with the Big Apple and every single thing it has to offer.

Anyone can make an idea that they have in their head something tangible. It just takes hard work, dedication, and a positive mindset. If there is something you want to do, something you want to see, a place you want to go, a way in which you want to better yourself, you are capable of making any of these things happen.

Although you may be hesitant at first, remember to live without regrets. Before I came to New York, I was so worried about all of the obstacles that may block this from happening. When I finally realized that all of these obstacles were in my head, blocks I was putting up that prevented my incredible dream from becoming a reality, I stopped at nothing to be able to get where I am today. Now I feel like I'm living in a dream.

When you have a dream, don't let anything get in your way. Create your own path to get there, only surround yourself with people who support your dream because the people who don't may be a part of the obstacles you are creating in your head.

Anything you are passionate about to dream about is worth working for. In the words of Cinderella, "A dream is a wish your heart makes," and if it comes from your heart, it comes with love.
