Today is November 16, 2016; and I’m writing this letter to myself because five years from now I want to see if I actually overcome my goals that I had planned five years ago. I am a senior accounting major at Hampton University. It’s my last year and I’m happy and sad at the same time. I am happy because in May of 2017 I will receive my bachelor degree in accounting. I’m also sad because I will be leaving some of my close friends and stepping out the real world. My current fears is after graduating, I just have a lot thoughts that’s going thru my head. The first thought is when, after I step across the stage what I’m going to do next. Is am going to succeed in life by having the dream job I wanted. Is am able to bring financial money in to …show more content…
These thoughts naturally prevent us from making effective decisions and undertaking the actions that will help us create the momentum we need to get to our end destination. Some life challenges I want to overcome in the future is first get out of my shyness talking to people or presented without being nervous front of a big crowd. When I was little my mom gave me advice to overcome this challenge. She told just practice talking yourself in the mirror until you feel confident. My biggest life challenges is to achieving success in the future. I often have thought about doing something challenging and finding myself saying: 'I 'll never be able to achieve that. I have some of my close friends and family is supporting me through my adulthoods. Overcoming this first barrier and identifying your challenge is the first step on your road to success. I have to make sure, that I have the time to commit my plan, preparation and deliver to success money, and other needs. Having established my challenge, I should let my family, and friends know what I’m aiming to achieve for in the future. Like I know one day I want own my own business running a restaurant. A goal should be challenging but achievable. It is important that I establish my goals at the beginning. I have to sit down and think I’m achieve my …show more content…
With belief comes a commitment to investing the time, effort and resources to make sure you continue to deliver your short-term goals, and repeated success in delivering your goals increases your motivation which, in turn, increases your belief in your abilities to deliver your long-term goal. My expectation in the future is to be successful, find love, and start a family in that order. I want to focused on myself by bettering myself to be great in life where the point of life I don’t have struggle or worrying about my career. After I’m in the right place in my life that’s when I wasn’t to start meeting people where I can build an empire with the love of my life can keep each other in check. When we both financially stable I want plan my dream wedding on the island where my family and friends join me to celebrate a wonderful event. Later on in life start a family where I want my kids to experience the world and see what they want to do in life. Some advice I want to give myself or others that’s reading this. Good things take time. Don’t rush a relationship just because you don’t have anybody else. Don’t force a family if you not ready. Just experience life because life is too short to not experience beautiful things and learning new things about different culture and heritage. Explore because
For example I could be offered the opportunity to get the job I always dreamed of but then I decline because the fear of not doing what I needed to do like finish school haunts my brain. The reason why that can be a problem is because even though I know I would do extremely well at my job there is always the fear of something going wrong and then I 'd have no other type of work due to the fact of not finishing school. Another example would be missing a family members wedding because I still needed work to be done. It 's always the precious moments that always get shot down due to the fact that people are constantly told they need to do this or that and they listen and continue to miss every single moment or opportunity in their life that could change them
In the book Letters to My Daughters, poet Maya Angelou wrote “I am a spring leaf trembling in anticipation of full growth” (163). Anticipation is a good description of how I feel about being a thirty-six year old college freshman. Anxiety, self-doubt, and dogged determination are on my list of emotions alongside anticipation, if I were being honest I would add. Providing my children with security, find true happiness in my career, and conquer my fear of failure are just a few things that hold my hand as I take this leap into higher education. Friends and family are surprised that I have gone back to school. In January of 2015 when I applied to South Plains College, I was working for AT&T making a good living. My mother especially couldn’t
As the quote given by William Shakespeare “Dream in light years, challenge each mile and walk step by step” which indicates don’t be afraid of ambition, break down each challenge and set new goals and
I hope that by sharing my personal statement, I have been able to give you an insight into the person I am and what I hope to achieve. I have included what I have felt to be the most significant influences on my career choice. I expect undergraduate school to continue to be a journey which I embark upon with great
As I’m sitting here typing this, I thought this assignment would be easy but it’s not. How do you explain who you are in a paper? Where do I begin? Well, for starters, my personality, ambitions, and what I love doing should be the best standard for defining my character. One should never be anxious if they do not know everything about themselves, as we are constantly learning and discovering new features of ourselves. Personally, I am satisfied knowing my friends are worth it and consider me an asset. I’m the shortest one in my group of friends which puts me somewhat the end of the ladder. Someone might judge me just because of the way I look or act but, if they could just get to know me even more and see my personality they can see me in a whole new way.
As I look to graduate, I become increasingly aware that I have my entire life to look forward to. Even though I will have struggles throughout my life, I still have my well being to fall back on. When all else fails, I am and hopefully always will be self-assured that I am here, healthy and able to bring myself through the worst of circumstances.
I’m a student at Tompkins Cortland Community College this is my first semester as a college student. I plan to go to college for four years and only be at TC3 for this one semester, then transfer to a four year school. College has grown around the world more than ever and more people are attending college more than ever. I have chosen to go to college because of the rewards after graduation. Yes it is another four years of school but by getting more education and an extended degree gives me more opportunities for better jobs and more money. The career I have chosen to study is business administration. I am hoping that it takes me to a great job managing a company or possibly being an accountant.
I will face many more personal struggles and obstacles as I try to accomplish more. The fear of failure that has always permeated my every thought, the idea that I have placed in my mind since young; the futility of life, the fear that no matter what I do it will have no meaning. My fear is a prison that binds me with chains of futility, and the more I struggle the more rigid the chains become. But I believe that if I set a plan to work towards these wishes, and if I succeed in making this plan effective, then it will start a domino effect on my mentality. I will be showing myself that I can vanquish this beast imprisoning me in my own mind, this beast known as anxiety; then I will be able to move confidently towards a future that I wish for. So my plan for the present will be to work on being an excellentist instead of a perfectionist, fixing my poor time management skills, and mending my poor habits. To do this I will try and log how I spend my time and plan accordingly, try different kinds of anxiety and stress relief, such as meditation and exercise, and cut back on the hobbies that I find
For so many years I’ve asked myself the question, “what are you going to do with your life?” For a period of time I struggled with this question. Today, I sit staring at my computer, confronting myself, asking my subconscious “what do I want to do for the rest of my life?” Have I finally found the answer I 've been looking for, or am I under the false assumption that this is the right path for me. This semester has been the ultimate opportunity to explore my questions, doubt, issues, and concerns. I feel that by the end of this paper I will have answered all these questions, and will have made the best decision for my future.
Finally Looking back since I returned to school maintaining a 3.8 GPA, I felt that my first semester in the accounting program has been difficult and grades have been hard to attain, but I realized that my work experience has been helpful as it allows me to return to school with organizational skills and the intense desire not to give up despite the difficulties and perform well as I continue the journey to my degree. I hope that I can get practical experience in the field though part time internships and volunteer as well.
Although I said I am not the most confident individual, I can easily see myself becoming an accountant in the years to come. During my brief time at this university, I have already seen myself start to mature as an individual. As a student, I realize there is still much work for me to complete. However, I am finding it much easier to study and push myself to go further than I have before. These changes only seem small right now, but I know they can be limitless. As long as I keep pushing forward and maintain my effort as a student, I will, without a doubt, become a professional who can call himself an
...tivation, master self-management, adopt lifelong learning, and accept personal responsibility as my own. Keeping these all in my mind to will be guaranteed a bright future. Putting my mind to it will help motivate me on my journey to success. Knowing motivation will help me have the energy to overcome the obstacles of life, being organized and knowing what I have to do to succeed, finding the positive in every situation to gain wisdom for the future, and openly understand that it is only my responsibility to take care of my success and nobody else’s. Doing all four of these strategies through my voyage will give me the assurance that my mind needs to get through it. Being positively sure that I will and can get through this.
Your thoughts trigger images and pictures, and the emotions that go with them. These images and emotions trigger attitudes and actions. Your actions then have consequences and results that determine what happens to you. If you think about success and confidence, you will feel strong and competent, and you will perform better at whatever you attempt. If you think about making mistakes and being embarrassed, you will perform poorly, no matter how good you really are.
Sometimes a person may feel that they have no purpose in life. Finding out who you are just takes the time of sitting down and thinking of the importance in your life. Who am I? I am Mercedes Kimberly Kingston, and I am a person with different personalities, characteristics, and identities. The many ways, in which I identify myself, in fact, are the ways that define who I am. My Identity is something only I can fully define. I have a little brother, which makes me a sister; I have two loving parents, which makes me a daughter; I am in college studying medicine, which makes me a student; and I have wonderful friends in desperate need of support, which makes me a wonderful best friend.
My senior year is here, and passing quite quickly. Each day “I walk with a purpose, but no destination” (Ehrlich 232). I’ve had this same purpose etched in my mind since I can remember, it occasionally changes, ever so slightly, but remains consistent—to surpass people’s expectations and achieve something out of the norm. College is around the corner, but where will that be, what will it be? Close to home? A Thousand miles away? Why am I so concerned with this aspect of life—is it because that’s what everyone else seems consumed with? Everyone is pushing me for tomorrow, but what happened to today? I’m losing sight of what is so close. I’ve forgotten about treasuring the moment, absorbing the experiences right here in front of me. We all want to grow up, move on, and encounter something better, but “when [we] run so fast to get somewhere, [we] miss half the fun of getting there. When [we] worry and hurry through [our] day, it’s like an unopened gift, thrown away” (unknown). I think it’s time to take a step back and look at all today has to offer, see the people around who love me, relish every moment with friends who won’t be here next year, and take a good look at myself. Why I am the way I am and am I headed in the right direction?
