...Where do I see myself in the future? The way I see myself in the future is not something I often think about. To tell you the truth, it scares me a little to know that in one short decade I will be thirty- one years old, and that my years of youth are coming to an end. However, thinking about this question gave me a chance to analyse my goals and ambitions. I am a simple individual that have big dreams in life. In many years from now, I believe I am able to achieve the three most basic things in life which are family, love and a satisfaction career. A vision I’ve always had of myself years ahead from now is a wealthy business woman that owns a coffee shop. Instead of having my coffee shop on the main street, my coffee shop would tuck away from main street which is away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I hope to provide a comfy environment which my customer could truly relax themselves and enjoy their coffee. The interior of my coffee shop has custom mural and exposed brick walls which create a warm atmosphere. Reclaimed woods were used for the bars, tables and condiment stations. Some good oldies song will be played as background music hovering around the shop and the level of its volume is just moderate. It will be wonderfully set up while being photogenic at the same time. I’ve picture myself sitting on the cashier of my coffee shop welcoming every customers with warm greeting. Besides that, I will place a variety of books in the shop and customers are welcome to...

...Autobiography My name is Adlemi Larissa Ramos and I would just like to take this time to talk to you a little bit about myself, my family, my past and how it has made me who I am today, my present plans and how I am working on myself to become a better me, and the plans I have for my future. In my family there are six of us. There’s my dad, Jose Luis Ramos, who I hate to say it, but I am just like him. My mom’s name is Rosa Imelda Ramos. She’s not the best, nor the most perfect, but nonetheless, I love her. I have an older brother whose name is Jose Angel Ramos. He sort of the black sheep of the family. He no longer lives with us but boy, how I miss those late-night McDonald’s runs. Next comes me. I don’t always like talking about myself or describing myself because I feel everyone has their own opinion as to “what you’re like.” After me comes my sister, Tiare Monique Ramos. She has quite an attitude, that one. I’ve grown to live with it. After her is my brother, Lineker Kothan Ramos. He’s a “mini-me” of my older brother and the silliest, most sensitive, non-filtered boy ever. Quite the family, huh? I am not married nor do I have any kids but I do have a loving man by my side. I met Ariel Madrid back in 2014 when my schedule in high school changed and I was moved into his chemistry class. Yes, this is the same Ariel Madrid that sits right next to me in class. We have been together now for one year and nine months and in that time period I have learned to love again, I have learned...

...Standing on my own Success is characterized by anything that yields a sensation of satisfaction, after accomplishing a goal, in any aspect. People are always trying to succeed. Success is an enticing challenge for anyone to prove their capability of getting what they want and also to be acknowledged. People want success to look for an improvement in their quality of life. If this is not the reason, then why else does the compelling need for feat exist? Just like everyone else, I have a dream for success. For my future I want to see myself fruitful in pursuing what I desire to do – dermatology. However, being successful to me isn’t about fulfilling selfish desires, it also entails helping others. As a future doctor, I yearn to be adept of sharing my knowledge with people that need it. In order for me to get to that level, I must endure strong adversity from a superior educational environment and achieve outstanding grades. I must also be able to stand up on my own feet and be independent, which has been a struggle for me ever since I was young. Growing up, I always had to fight for everything I wanted or believed in. I felt in any situation that I was the odd one out. I felt different, and that everyone else was a team that was out to get me. Since I was young I have always been a very timid, quiet child. However, I was very compassionate towards others and was that one friend who was always there to help. My parents and friends would often tell me to “have a spine” and to stand...

...Learning how to read and write is a big milestone in a child's life. Being able to read and get involved in a book is the best feeling ever. Growing up, I could remember from a young age my mother reading all different types of Disney books to me. I loved the Disney books that had a princess in it because when I was younger, I thought I was going to become a princess when I grew up, of course, that didn’t happen. For most of my life, up to age seven, my mom or teachers read to me because I had a speech delay and a learning disability that made it difficult for me to read alone. I would pretend to a read a book by myself, but I never really got the concept of reading and understanding what I was reading till age seven. At age seven is when I...

...I was born into a really cultural family. My mother immigrated to America from Senegal for hope of more opportunities and a bright future. My grandmother, aunt, and uncles followed soon after. We lived in a small apartment altogether. They came to America but never lost their Senegalese pride. We wore our traditional clothing on special occasions. We eat our country’s food with pride. We loved our skin and our natural hair. Our culture was never a problem. Until, I had to go to a summer day camp. I walked with so much confidence but left with my feet across the floor. The girls had pulled my ponytails and told me I was worthless. They said my food stunk and needed to be thrown away. They yelled and screamed nasty words at me. The girls told me I smelled like dead fish and...

...Kendy S. Sumlin Mrs. Nettles English 0090 29 June 2014 Three advice I would give myself if I can go back in time Time is something most people don’t have much of these days. Time passes by so fast! People end-up making decisions that at the end, changes their lives. If I had the chance to visit myself back in time, it would be at sixteen years old. Teenagers think they know it all, just like I use to think. I’ve noticed that time is short, and my decisions affected my future. I would choose to visit myself at my house, sitting on the couch, when I would start talking to myself; advising myself on topics that impact life. If I would could have heard myself, my outcome would be different. At this age I started looking for advice, and unfortunately I didn’t find any. I would advise myself to first get a solid education, give myself time to find that special person, and lastly, not hold resentment. First advice would be to get a solid education. When I was sixteen, my dad gave a car to my older sister for her birthday. We both went to the same high school. My sister would skip school all the time, but hated to go by herself. She would take me on ride along with her. I really thought she was cool and anything she did was great. I looked up to her because she would do things that I was never allowed to do. Things took a turn when I became a young adult. Since I didn’t finish school, I ended up getting a low paying job. It is very hard to live on minimum wage when you have...

...Timeline Narrative Assignment Visualizing my short term and long term goals is interesting because it makes me think about where will I be in five, ten, and twenty years. To me, it is surreal thinking that I will be finished with school in 5 years because I have been in school for such a long time and I am only 18 years old. I hope to fulfill each and every milestone that I set for myself, but it takes a lot of hard work. Even though I anticipate my life to be a certain way, anything can happen and I never know what the future holds for me. In 5 years, I see myself finishing my Master’s, having a job that can pay my bills, and being in a relationship. Identifying milestones is not difficult. Effectively fulfilling them, is the hardest part. For me, motivation is key. If I am motivated, I can do almost anything. I will push myself above and beyond. In order to complete my Master’s, I have to be motivated to effectively finish on time. I am motivated to finish school because I know I want work with children and have a good steady job. If I would not be motivated, I would not be in school and working hard to finish. Working on a job is important to me because it helps me pay for school and bills. I need to work during school because I need to support myself during my time in school. In 10 years, I see myself finished with school, working with children, and being in a relationship and maybe even married. 10 years is a long time and so many different things can happen and occur...

...graduating from high school the question that always came up to me was what do you want to major in once you start your college career. Unfortunately I never really had a solid answer for that question; I was always trying to figure out what I was interested in. My mentality was to take it day by day and see where life took me possibly figuring out what I want to study for the next four years of college. My first year of college was a great experience from me, I was able to live at school and take on the responsibility as an adult. At of all the class I took at St. Thomas Aquinas College I still had no idea in what I wanted to major in. It became a frustrating process because I had felt like I had wasted a year in not coming to a decision. I had a couple of ideas but when I looked at the big picture on what kind of jobs I can get with that specific major and the classes I had to take for the future, it never became promising so I let it go. I chose to stay undecided and take life as it came to me with getting discouraged. My main concern then was now to obtain a strong GPA. Even though I had no major I took core classes which every major required in order to start setting myself up. Setting a path for myself in order to be successful for the future was very important to me. Figuring out what I wanted to do came later, for now my goal was put myself in the best possibly situation so I can be prepared when I do choose a major. My first step was to take those core requirements because even...
