Recommended: What is the important of education

I had to sit back and have an introspective conversation. I posed queries to myself. Examples are, “if I continue to do what I am doing at this moment what will my gains and losses be? What would I like out of this life? Do I want to be prosperous or just mediocre? What are some ways I could set a goal and work diligently and tirelessly to achieve it? Will attending Job Corps help me do this? Attending Job Corps will open and close what doors for myself and others around me?” Coming to my decision was not an easy one. I had a life where I was residing. While not very productive, it was fulfilling to my emotional need for happiness. I’ve always been one to struggle, balancing my emotional needs and productivity. I’ve made a lot of irrational …show more content…

I just want to progress, and continue to make strides everyday so I can become a productive member of our society. I want to improve my life, and set a great example for the young people around me. I feel as if it’s my responsibility to be a positive force in the life of all my nieces, nephews, and younger cousins in my life. I have a lot of knowledge to impart to the younger generation, but I must live by my sword if intend to use it. Being hypocritical will make it hard for me to be the light in the darkness my younger people seek. Consequentially, by being a better man, I will be able to experiment with doing different things for my community. I can provide a positive outlook, open doors, set the standard for success, and be the stone for the people around me to build their foundational values on and around. I am an influential young man. I want to take the time to make proper use of my influence, but in order to show I know the way, I must complete, and be able to show I have credentials. I am extremely committed to making my dreams a reality, to prove to myself and everyone around me, that you can change your life. All it takes is for you to make the first step, even if the means leaving a comfortability

  • Personal Statement: Growing Up In A Mexican Family

    1018 Words  | 3 Pages

    If someone was to ask me two years ago what I wanted to be I would have greeted them with silence. Before I was a very anti-social person and I didn’t really like speaking much in front of a public, audience, or even my small group of friends. I was the type of girl who preferred staying home in the weekends and watch Netflix instead of going out. But everything changed when I went on a missionary trip with my church to Mexicali. The church I attend has a group of volunteers who go every 2-3 months on the weekends to Mexicali. In these trips we distribute clothes, food, essentials, toys, and candies for all the kids and people in Mexico that live in poverty. Many people who live there live in harsh conditions and are struggling to provide a home for their families. My first trip was a life changing experience because it changed the person who I was. I became an active and outgoing person. I became to appreciate and value the possessions I have at home. Every time I see the kids at Mexicali content when they receive a pair of shoes or a piece sandwich it makes me pleased of myself because I’m able to help them with what I can. Throughout these series of trips I discover my passion and how I have a soft spot for kids. Since Mexicali and where I live have a very large driving distance and I can’t go every day I also volunteer to help kids and adults around my community also. I have help

After the discussion I began to process the advice, and after contemplation I realized that I was being reminded of the legacy I want to leave and the story I want to be written about my life. For example, he asked a question “Does anyone have a dream?” YOu would like with what’s going on in the world, people would hope that somehow they can make a difference. So I responded “I want to be one of the most powerful people that made a tremendous impact in the world.” I wouldn’t know what to call myself because I don’t just want to be label under one category, I want to utilize my skills, passion

    There are countless people who aspire to help people in their lives. However, if you think about it, nearly every career helps others in some way, shape, or form. Teachers, scientists, policemen and various other careers aid people in different ways. I, like many others, have always known that I’ve wanted to help people. Yet, I also want to do more than that. I want to help others, but also save others- emotionally or physically, mentor others, inspire others, and be there for others during their most vulnerable times. This is who I am- and I have always been this person. In first grade, I ran a lemonade stand at my school for the Make-A-Wish Foundation; I got my third grade class to raise money for starving children; and I put up with bullying throughout middle school because I befriended a girl who had trouble making friends on her own. The quality of pure selflessness and care for others that I have always possessed would allow me to do something great with my life- it just took me some time to figure out what.

  • Narcissism In Daring Greatly By Brene Brown

    The most successful way to instill righteous and moral behavior and thoughts is by demonstrating our respectable interactions and honest problem solving approaches during difficult times of our lives. “As adults we should dare to be adults that we want our children to be”. They learn by watching and are quick to mimic our behavior with their peers outside of home. The author writes that “we should strive to raise children who: engage with the world from a place of worthiness, embrace their vulnerabilities and imperfections, feel a deep sense of love and compassion for themselves and others, value hard work, perseverance, and respect, and also move through our rapidly changing world with courage and a resilient spirit” (214, 218-219). All of these elements will help to transform the way we live, love, and

    Despite any hindrances in one’s life, it is important to treat every individual as an equal, functioning member in the community. It is simple to act the way society wants you to, but it is important to stray away from debilitating stereotypes and prove that individuals who are different and may have more complications in their life can be powerful and make a difference in the world. As I continue through life, I will take with me an important lesson that I have been told before, but did not quite understand the significance of until now: despite any obstacles, everyone is capable of achieving greatness.

  • Bill Gates Speech Analysis

    1997 Words  | 4 Pages

    With regards to the first passage, I expect that my future life will be deeply impacted by how well I meet the challenge that is offered by Gates ' expectation of the younger generation. If I truly take the message Gates has to offer to heart, I feel that I could make a lasting contribution to society. While I do not know where I will be going with my life or where it will eventually end up, I believe that if you can work hard for something that you believe in and love doing everything will be fine. Throughout Gates ' speech he talks about doing something to tackle problems step by step, and to make the world a better place. Saying to start earlier and to continue on later is a message to see a problem, to start on it no matter how small the effort you put into and to never stop building on it. If I could implement this into my life in the future I believe it could give me an additional feeling of satisfaction, that I may miss if I ignore the troubles around me and only focus on my self. Additionally, I feel if I stick with this path and keep following it I will gain a better work ethic. This could lead to a countless number of opportunities and accomplishments I may never know, if I do not develop it. I expect the second passage will also deeply impact my life. If, by seeing that I should judge myself not only by my accomplishments for myself, but

    ...cy that left behind would not be here today. Like a sermon that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “ I want you to be the first in love, I want you to be the first in moral excellence, I want you to be the first in generosity…” What this quote meant to me meant a lot in self-improvement. If you want to change be the first one to change. Don’t wait for someone else but take the initiative, take the action! But here’s the catch! Don’t wait to try to self-improve when you think you’re ready because if you wait to when you think you’re ready, you will never self-improve. This kind of ties up to “When do we need to self-improve?” and “How do we self-improve?” Overall, Self-improving is key in someone’s life. Without it, we wouldn’t be where we were in the past, who we are in the present and who will be become in the future. It is needed in our lives, no doubt about it.
