Of course, dreams of fame and fortune still dance around in my head, I am mostly smart enough to realize that I will have to work towards that for a long time. Events in my life have shaped me into who I am today, and will more then likely guide me to be the person who I will turn into tomorrow. These events will allow me to discover who I am and who I want to be, and eventually they will lead me to discovering all of my goals that I want to achieve in life After high school I plan on attending Grand Rapids Community College. I choose Grand Rapid Community College not just because it was less expensive then a University, but because they offer a program for the career path that I have chosen to pursue. This particular Community College offers a three year program in training to become an Occupational Therapy Assistant. In order to pay for those three years at the college I will take on at least one part time job where I will place at least seventy five percent of my check in a bank account which will go towards college. This schooling will cost around twenty thousand dollars when I am finished. I am confident that I will be able to achieve my goal at Grand Rapids Community College because of my family that will help support me through those three years.

Many people have visions of what there life will be when they are older. Some wish to become fire fighters, or doctors. I on the other hand would love to become an Occupational Therapy Assistant. Traveling and writing will become a huge part of my life in the later years but for now I would just like to focus on helping others.
