Recommended: Reflection on career choice and development

What makes one life greater than the other? Must I be president of the United States of America, the King of England, a police officer, a mom or dad, or an athlete like Lebron James? Indeed, all these people have an important job to do. One is not greater than the other -each and every one of these people have a special place in this world given to them. So what is my place in this world? To be very honest I have a place but I just don’t know where it is and I’m discovering my place in this world little by little, day by day, and so forth. For me to know my place in this world I have to look at the past, the present and the future to determine where I see myself placed. One thing I know for sure is I was made for a reason and I have a unique purpose in …show more content…

I have all the power in my hands to rise up and dictate my future. Being a freshman in college it is a trial and error process. I am trying out new things and seeing what I like. Events during my senior year and working during the summer have helped steer me in another direction. During my senior year I planned and figured out all the prices for a fundraiser. I lead that fundraiser and it was a big success it was a bigger turn out than I expected and people bought more T-shirts than I expected. With doing the fundraiser it took leadership to even execute the whole plan and give everyone their task and make sure things got handled. Also doing the fundraiser gave me an idea that I want my future to do with business. I just took time and went to different events that had to do with business which gave me idea to what I want to do. Now that I’m at St. John’s University, I’m here to further that interest in business and finance. Now my place in this world is to be a student and figure everything out day by day and take risk, so I can figure out what I want to do and what I truly

  • “Where I’m From”- Part III: Where I’m Going

    805 Words  | 2 Pages

    As I reflect on my college life, I wonder about the choices I have made that have led me to where I am today and that will guide me into shaping who I long to become. The things I have had to sacrifice, the support and experiences I have had with family, friends, strangers and work colleagues. I don’t know what I will be doing three months or thirty years from now but I do know that I want to have new experiences. When I graduated from high school, I knew I didn’t want to be that person that moved back to the same town and stayed there for the rest of my life. I even contemplate leaving the United States in my adult life. Who really knows, maybe those cards are still in the deck. For now, I know my immediate goals include focusing on completing my college education the best I can, and moving away from my comfort zone, broadening my horizons and taken risks.

    207 Words  | 1 Pages

    My most fulfilling leadership experience would have to be starting the 4-H Medical Careers Spin Club. I started the club three years ago, to allow teens to have opportunities to experience the medical field before they spend money on a career they may end up not liking. The Club has been able to tour medical schools, hospitals, cancer centers, and many other facilities. I was instrumental in getting three teens in the club to apply and get accepted to Southern Illinois University School of Medicine Physician Pipeline Preparatory Program I am involved in.

    As a student in her sophomore year, I am still learning about what I can do and what I want to do. Although I am young, my mother always told me that it is never too early to start thinking about the future, which is why it is an honor to be able to apply for the membership of being part of National Honor Society.

Now, here I am entering my senior year in high school without any idea of what I want to do. Now seems to be the time to start taking life seriously and making responsible, educated choices.

  • Getting into College and Taking the ACT

    799 Words  | 2 Pages

    Until this past spring I hadn't thought much about what I wanted to do or where I wanted to go for college. One day in the spring the junior class had a meeting in the auditorium about taking our ACT test and college plans. After that meeting I realized I needed a change, getting into college wasn't going to be a breeze, kind of how I had treated high school. Although I always considered myself to be fairly smart, I never had put much effort into school, but after seeing the facts and requirements to get into schools, and especially after hearing Ms. Rice saying "In today's world, the way to a successful future, is choosing college as your future", I knew I had to make an adjustment for the better so that college could be my future.

  • FFA Accomplishment Essay

    488 Words  | 1 Pages

    On stage, I anticipated third place, but was once again stunned when I placed second. This whole experience was life changing. Working for the National FFA Convention, I developed a work ethic to stick to something, and to do my best, even if it seems impossible. I also gained communication skills, and the ability to work outside my comfort zone. Even now it is hard for me to interact with others, but this accomplishment taught me that I can do hard things and I can communicate effectively. I learned how to perform research and express my findings. This experience was also very valuable for it directed me to my career path. It opened up doors as to my abilities, and gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams without fear. It taught me that failures happen, but enduring effort will turn failure into success. In my interviews, I learned that complete honesty is far better than false cover-ups. I became the person I am now because I was blessed with the experience. This project for some may be seen as a great award, but for me it's an invaluable occurrence which had more life skills and experience than a piece of paper can ever
