Finding my passion has been my goal for years. Finding my career, on the other hand, is inspired by my passion. Whenever I do something I love, I give all I’ve got, and I put so much effort into it. Life is the process of cooking, and I am the Chef. What I plan on making is my decisions and actions, and what I end up presenting is my future. If I add in the right ingredients with the correct amounts, I succeed. If I don’t, I fail. It all depends on my priorities in life. Can I make popcorn without oil? Surprisingly yes, but that would be tasteless popcorn. Can I succeed without putting enough effort? Maybe, but that wouldn’t result with the future I want. Life is a circle. One of the main properties of a circle is having an infinite number …show more content…
Thankfully, I don’t have that problem, especially because it’s not hard for me to adapt to new environments. I lived in Lebanon for the first 12 years of my life, studied in a purely French school, and then traveled to the UAE and transferred to an English school during 7th grade. It didn’t only take me a short while to adapt, but also to study and communicate easily using the English language. One thing I’m known for is being a polyglot. I speak 4 languages (Armenian, English, Arabic and French) fluently, and I use them all every single day. Besides that, I’m known for having a kind heart with a tough personality. I can stand up for myself, put limits to people, and as my mom always says,”Wherever you throw this girl, she’ll manage to survive.” I believe I’m hardworking and responsible, especially when it comes to volunteer work. My class picked me to be part of the senior committee, which organizes all senior events and parties, and helps all voices to be heard. I’m glad I’m in since I’m going to do my best to make this year the most memorable one for everybody. It is a great feeling to be loved by many, as it boosts my confidence, which is very
There were times in which I did not want to go to school, times I did not want to face humiliation, time I hated everyone around even myself, However, as time passed, I soon discovered that there wasn 't a better place I could have moved to. In America, My journey across the dark tunnel has taught me a priceless lesson: "Confidence is the result of hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication." I have used this lesson in my adapting to a new environment as different as the USA. In my past 3 years in high school, I’ve learned a very important lesson: never let your background, your mistakes, or your fears stop you from becoming the person that you want to be. I know that everyone here, with me today, has the potential to do something great. In conclusion, I want to say to all of you please do not walk away from your difficult time or do not hide from your reality, just go with the flow and as the time passes, you will be able to get out of your difficult time and you will be able to identify yourself as I did. While, facing the reality you have to go through many difficult situations, but you should not give up and just move on. Living in such a completely different environment is the biggest challenge of my life. Honestly, I really enjoy the beautiful and quiet environment here. All that I am today is what I have learned after moving here. Every experience I have had has been valuable. Every person I have met has helped me grow. Every failure I have had has been but a pit stop on the way to bigger

In “Do What You Love? #@&** That!” by Jeff Haden, he explains how telling people to do what they love in their career is advice that is disastrous. Haden tells his readers that “That advice has probably resulted in more failed businesses than all the recessions combined…because that’s not how the vast majority of people end up owning successful businesses” (qtd. in Haden 463). Haden also mentions that to feel a real sense of passion you have to produce something important, gain respect for it, and feel control over your life (Haden 463). Not everyone agrees to mix passion and their business life together since some people think it’s two completely different things, but somehow someone’s work life becomes a passion without them realizing it has or without them even trying to make their work life a passion. Haden points out that “Passion is not something you follow. Passion is something that will follow you as you put in the hard work to become valuable to the world” (qtd. Haden 463). Even though not everyone chooses to follow their passion, in some way someone ends up doing something they enjoy and later on possibly love. Everyone has a job, some don’t get to choose the job that they specifically want, but they do choose one over another based on what they’ll enjoy more. People may choose
“Never underestimate your own strength. You were born for a purpose and are blessed with the power to achieve it” (Leon Brown). I have this quote printed out and on the wall next to my door so I can see it every day as a reminder to myself. I believe that we all have a purpose on this earth and that everything we go through on the journey there has a reason whether to teach a lesson or set an example. We have places where we want to end up and goals we want to achieve. We set these goals and dreams to help us fulfill the purpose we see for ourselves. I believe my purpose is to help people in their times of need. To fulfill my purpose, I will need to use my personal, academic and career goals to create a pathway to get to where I want to be
My ultimate value is my family. My vision for my own self is to live happily with my family in the future. I love to spend my spare time with them. Hanging around with friends and family make me feel well. I love to play on computer. I also love to play with the magical numbers. I like surfing on the internet, exploring new things, reading articles related with health, life, and economic events such as the stock market, financial companies, investment corporations, etc. I think being a citizen of a country, we should somewhat at different aspects of life to better know how well or bad the economy of our country is experiencing. My goal is to become a businessperson. I believe doing business is an important way to improve the economy of a nation. I did a research on two different careers. However, they are sort of having a relation with each other. Both of them are in the business field – accounting and financial analyzing.
What if I said that being a Christian with a love for missions made me a better and more
The story of my life would simply be titled "determination". Throughout my life I have always been determined to get what I want. I was never a child that asked mom and dad for something and got it, I worked for it. From a young age my mother made me do chores around the house in order to go outside and play with my friends. As I got older, nothing go easier, chores turned into jobs, and my income turned into my alliance. However, one thing that I did realize is that working without passion is not very enjoyable. I began working at a Restaurant as a host, which is not the most glamorous job out there. Fortunately, the Restaurant I worked at was looking for a new local marketing team. Once I heard what the job entailed I jumped on the opportunity;
Passion is your fuel. It motivates you to do something. It propels you up the mountain of your dreams and goals. Have a passion for life, for people, for animals, for your causes and your convictions, and you will be nearly unstoppable. Be a role model for those who have great needs and can't do
I started my college career without a clear objective. In my youth once things became hard I stopped preforming and moved quickly on to another goal. I was not focused and felt I lacked the dedication needed in order to successfully preform in academic life. I was able to get by and graduate but my GPA suffered.
When I was about ten years old, I knew I one day wanted to be my own boss. It seems pretty crazy to want something so powerful at such a young age. Ten years later I still have that same desire. There is no doubt I have passion for leadership. Was I just born to be successful?
Did your phone just ring? Or was that your computer notifying you of a new email? Since the Digital Revolution and the addition of digital electronics like the personal computer, software-based technology has always been an essential aspect of our lives. Something that would have taken up an entire classroom can now fit within the grasp of your hands thanks to the efforts of various computer scientists and engineers, making our lives much easier.
Passion for Family, Community, Business, Technology and Intellectual growth are what motivate me on the daily basis. These are vital parts that have contributed to framing me into the person I’ve become. They have also shaped my short-term and long-term goals in life. It’s critical for one to have a vision for their life and what they anticipate to accomplish. Without a vision or desire there is no hope for one to continue and to purse anything. My experiences with in my passions have helped me aligned my vision for my life. They have given me the valuable knowledge that have set me up for success to get to this point in life.
Many people have told me that my educational career goal is difficult to achieve, and it most likely is. I have dreamed of becoming a doctor since I was seven years old and now, I am one step closer. I will be majoring in Biomedical Science (Pre-Professional Concentration) at the University of Central Florida in hopes of attending Medical School.
Someone once asked me what I believed in, what I wanted to get out of life and where I saw myself a couple of years from now…I was speechless, just standing there with a blank look upon my face, guess I looked like a deer in the headlights. At first I was outraged for not knowing what to say, and then I became concerned. Looking back I can say that I was afraid, afraid of wanting anything. I figured wanting would lead to trying and trying would lead to failure, and failure is not an option. A friend once told me I was much better than I thought I was, and he would help me do more in a positive sense, he was the one that helped me realize failure was something I shouldn’t be afraid of.
“We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort” (Owens). Without any determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort dreams will not turn into reality. People should look forward and push for that reality. Anyone can say they will fulfill their dream, but it takes someone with dedication, determination and effort to accomplish that dream. Effort is the key to success. Effort is like the sugar and spice to everything nice. Without any push of effort for the dream to become reality dedication, determination and self-discipline don’t take place. The dream drives people to accomplish the unexpected.
