619 Words2 Pages

It's hard for me to say where I'll be in the years to come, already my life has strayed from the path I once thought it would follow. However, that doesn't change my motivation or determination to reach and excel at my personal goals. My whole life I've endured a system that dictated what should be important to me, and while it's helped me learn the practical skills I need outside of an academic setting, I have a passion to grow further from what's expected of me, and so with much enthusiasm I look forward to attending college in which I hope to achieve more by constantly learning and expanding my personal knowledge.
I was lucky enough to have a privileged youth, from the time I was six-years old my family was traveling. While in countries

    357 Words  | 1 Pages

    When I was a young girl, my older brother always did very well in school and he and the rest of our family were always very proud of his work. As I grew older and noticed all of my brother’s achievements I decided that I wanted to not only achieve what he had, but to also achieve things that he had not. Because of this strive to reach and surpass the standards that my brother had set, I developed into a person with great determination.

  • College vs trade schools

    The question that people ask a lot is “where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years from now?” When I was presented with this question in high school MY response was “ no one can say where they’ll be, but I know whatever the future bring for me, but I know I will have multiple skills and be the best I can to what I am doing”. Ten years later I’m holding three Diplomas in PC specialist, Facilities Maintenance, Home inspection and one degree in PC maintenance. I now decided to go back to school, but this time for another degree. I have not yet held a position in any of these areas of study because of the lack of job opportunities, Resources, and requirements on a job. Even through a person who has a certification/Diploma has to generally upgrade their skills every few years to be educated on new products that are being implemented into the company for their field of work.

    When I first started attending Riverside City College I struggled with deciding what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Through time I realized I would find myself researching ways how healthy food options can be what the body needs instead of some medicines. Not only would I reasearch for my own personal use, but I would do it out of interest and curiosity. Eventually, through long talks with my mom, she gave me the idea of becoming a Nutritionist and eventually a Registered Dietitian. Originally I was leading towards a clinical career in nutrition and food science because I always wanted to experience working in a hospital, but as of recently my heart has been leaning towards working in a school district.

    I have narrowed my future aspirations down to a few different lifestyles. First and foremost, my goal is to graduate high school maintaining my 3.7 GPA and accomplishments/scholarships. One future possibility is for me to join the Air Force, become a pilot and go to full time schooling till I get all my flight hours and my degrees. Depending on how well I do in the Air Force and my rank depends on if I would stay or rank out, meaning once I reach a certain pilot rank I will be able to get honorable discharge and keep my military benefits. If I choose to rank out at around age 23-25 I would go straight into Commercial or Private Charter piloting.

    As I prepare to enter my final year of undergraduate education at UC Santa Cruz, I have been spending a lot of time really trying to figure out how I want to use my education after leaving college. Beyond the daunting questions of what I think I could do after graduation or where I am most likely to find a job, I truly want to guide my thinking by where I would do the most good and feel truly fulfilled.

    There have been tons of things that I have learned and been taught in my life, by a number of people such as family, teachers, or even friends on occasion. The things they taught me vary from math and other related subjects to just some truly simple yet meaningful life lessons. However, there is nothing quite as unique, quite as special as a person teaching themselves a life lesson. It really is an amazing accomplishment for a person to teach themselves something. It is not quite as simple as another person teaching them something because it is not just the transferring of information from one person to another. The person instead has to start from scratch and process the information they have in their mind in order to come up with a new thought
