In my case it did, as a child, I had no idea of what I wanted to become in the future. Sometimes I would get frustrated because many children already had an idea of what they wanted to be. But after seeing Kiki’s delivery service I had realized that it was okay for me not to know what I wanted to be as an adult. Since I was still young there was still time for me to find something that would inspire me. Later on I discovered that there was a lot of things that inspired me.

It intrigued me to know how humans, animals, and plants helped each other. After discovering my passions I had decided that I wanted my career to be related to my passions.

    Everyone at one point has to make a decision on what they want to be when they grow up. For me, that decision came rather unexpectedly and was a result of a new found interest due to self-discovery. It all began when I was around the age of 8 and I watched a documentary on aircraft. It documented all about planes, how they work and the science behind them. I was immediately captivated and gaining all that information as a young child really hit the spot in terms of a new found passion and interest that I could see myself later using. This passion stuck with me ever since as I have spent tons of spare time studying different types of aircraft and collecting model planes. It ultimately helped me with my answer to the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up as being an aeronautical engineer. It is not a career most would pursue, but it shows how self-discovery impacted me at a very young age and the impact is so log lasting that it has influenced most of the decision I make now in terms of courses I take at school and the extracurricular activities I am a part of. Without self-discovery, I was able to gain an understanding of where my interests lay, the abilities I have to acquire complex information and the feelings I had towards my new found interest and

    From the time a child enters preschool, teachers begin asking a common question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” That dreaded query has always haunted me, mostly because the way it was redundantly asked put a ton of pressure on me and my peers. The question was like a rusty nail being hammered into our head’s by society. I continuously had the cliché answers of becoming a doctor, teacher, or a police officer, but with serious reservations. After years of not having a clue, I started to think about what I like to do after the stresses of work and school were gone at the end of the day.

    I remember a time in my life when I would always play with little children. At that point, at the age of six or seven, I decided to become a pediatrician or a kindergarten teacher. When I started high school, I started feeling stressed out because of the pressure that I was doing to myself to reach my goal of becoming a pediatrician. I could hardly focus on the topic we would have during class because I would be thinking about my future as a pediatrician. With the help of my friends, they helped me overcome the obstacles that I had. The more I thought about what profession I wanted to be, I thought about how much I loved working and dealing with computers. My friends and cousins told me that I should and can be what ever I wanted, and that helped me decide to major in computer engineering at San Jose State University. So you see when it comes down to life, dreams are not the only thing that can keep men going, friendships, pets and companionships can do the same.

    Lewis Carroll is quoted on the margins of page 86 saying that, “One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. “Which road do I take?” she asked. “Where do you want to go?” was his response. “I don’t know,” Alice answered. “Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.”” This quote demonstrates that without clear goals or plan for what you want you want to do with your life, you can get lost easily. I already have a life plan, others might not be as far along with their life goals, as I am, but that is not a bad thing, it just means that they have some searching to do. Being able to know what you want to do with your life, and how to get there, is an important thing to figure out, as soon as you can figure out what you want to do with your life. Discovering what you want to do in your life is often a good source of motivation to reaching your goals, whenever I start to struggle or fall behind in class I start to think about what is at stake for my future, and I ask the question, “what would I do with my life, if I couldn’t be a doctor?” Being able to have clear goals of what I want to do in my life allows me to look to the goals I have set for myself in life as a source of motivation, and work as hard as I can to reach them, even against all odds.

    In this essay/report I will explain to the best of my abilities, my possible career path. I have wanted to be many things. In grade 1, I wanted to be a superhero, and that hope stayed out for a while. Later on, when I was 10, my brain started getting new ideas, exploring the world around me, thinking of other things aside form cartoons and I thought to myself, how in the world am I going to become a superhero? I started thinking of other jobs like firefighter, police officer, engineer, construction worker etc., etc. But then I decided it was no good. Then one day when I was watching an interview on TV, a firefighter was being interviewed and one of the questions was: How long did it take you to decide what you wanted to be? And he said a long time. Then I wondered how long a long time would be, I wanted to jump into the TV and ask the guy how long a long time was. Hmm, I wondered, how long is a long time and then I answered my question. “It’s going to be a long time ‘till it’s a long time, I’ve got nothing to worry about.” That question just flew off my mind until at the start of grade eight when I encountered this question again, and I answered it.

    Many high school juniors, seniors, and even some college freshmen do not know what they want to do with their lives, but I have known since I was nine years old. From an early age, I decided I wanted to become a computer software engineer, and seven years later I still have the same goal. I still have a copy of a letter that I wrote to Google in elementary school asking them how I could eventually work at their company; although it embarresses me that I did this, it is a good reminder for me of how lucky I am to have found a passion at a young age. Besides my career, I feel as though I have always had a clear view of how I want my future to turn out.

    Growing up as a little girl my life was ever changing. Although I don’t have many recollections of my childhood, I do remember wanting to be a bit of everything. Early on I wanted to be singer. I dreamed of being as cool and famous as Britney Spears. Not to mention, I was a tad narcissistic and thought I had the best voice. In reality I sounded like nails on a chalkboard. After some time had passed and I was no longer tone deaf, I dreamed of being a teacher. This was probably because I had started school and loved learning. I also had an obsession with stationery items and thought grading would be the greatest thing ever! For the longest time, I truly thought with every fiber of my being that someday I would grow up to major in Early Education. I wanted nothing more than to teach first grade.

    Yet more time I spent at school, working on homework and just seeing the reality in the society it made me drop those job dreams. It was too much studying in order to be a lawyer and prosecutor, too much studying and responsibility to be a doctor, not enough talent to be a singer or actress, and its too complicated to be a president in the future. So I really could not stick with one vocation that I wanted to become yet still looking for one hoping to have something one day. Just like any other kids I loved watching television shows and movies, loved playing instruments. As I got older I stopped playing instruments because it wasn’t challenging me anymore, but I got into listening music and watching movies. Up until 9th grade in school I didn’t focus on academic grade but I had to when I moved the school in United

  • College Admissions Essay: My Goals In Life

    1189 Words  | 3 Pages

    Dreams, everyone has some sort of life ambition or goal that they would like to have in their life. As children we look at the whole world with eyes filled with wonder and ambition; yet, as we age pursuing one’s own goals often gets put on the back burner. Life happens, people get married, and have kids and the hope of landing that dream career gets increasingly distant. We tell ourselves that we will get to it, but often we fall short of our own expectations of ourselves. As humans, we have the capacity to do and create wondrous things. Knowing of this capacity gives us the desire to go out and get what we truly want; however, as we begin pushing towards our desires we run into conflict. Life has a special way of creating obstacles and barriers to one’s dreams. Although life is exhausting and it is difficult to accomplish the feats that one aims at; succeeding is a truly rewarding feeling.
