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.

Whether it be making the middle school talent show, or getting a good score on a test, goals have always been there to push me forward. Now that I have entered college, my long lists of goals have been a little more specific. Unlike before, I now acknowledge the specific strengths and weaknesses I have when reaching for them.

I’ve always had the dream of snorkeling the waters of Australia, or roaming the mountains of Nepal. I want to experience what this world has to offer in terms of exotic locations.

Recently I was asked, "How did you end up in college?" It sounded simple enough, but when it came down to writing it I had no clue on where to start. Who influenced me to stay on track, and how did they do so? My mind was blank, but I have never been a person of many words. The truth is I never really gave it too much thought. Growing up I always had college as a goal, but I've found that what I thought I would be going to college to become and what I am actually doing in college proved to be two completely different things.
