Most of my time was spent thinking about that single dream that I had for years.…

I also feel if you do not have a passion for what you do you can not be happy doing it, and for me if you are not happy with what you do you should not be doing it which is why I want to do my undergraduate in business and do something related to…
Over the course of high school, I have slowly felt myself grow and mature into a young woman. I believe it is important to feel a change in your character through the course of high school. This change can either be good or bad, it is up to that person to determine what kind of person they would like to be.…
Everyday is a new day for me. I wake up everyday pondering whether or not I will be able to get through the day without a single complaint. As I woke up this morning, I went straight to my coffee machine to make my coffee as I always do. What was strange is that every time I tried to start it up, it wouldn't start. After realizing that my coffee machine, my most prized possession, was broken, I quickly got ready with my signature messy bun and went to the nearest coffee shop. I was going to get my coffee. After ordering my favorite coffee at Dunn Brothers, I was not happy to see that they messed up my order. I went to my work and hoped that the not-my-order-coffee would kick in soon. This day has already started off horribly and I did not…

As a little girl, I had always been fascinated with technology. Whether it was pretending to “hack” into my dad’s laptop at 6 years old, or building remote control cars and running electrical circuits at age 8, my interest in technology was hugely inspired by my father. I wasn’t normal in the way you’d describe younger girls; by playing with dolls and makeup. Instead, I was the girl dirtied by the forest soil or fixated on taking apart anything electronic in the house. I went through a multitude of remote controls, pens, keyboards, and anything else that you could imagine having numerous pieces in it. I was enthralled by the way items were put together. And by combining pieces that seemed to be random metal and plastic, somehow you could make…
Changing in High school is kind of tuff; especially when you are going to the best High school in the city. I had to mature and get on my “A game”, because there are other people trying to beat me. From football to scholar ships, I had to change really fast if I wanted to be on top.…
Like other kids, I had a childhood dream. Some may have wanted to be firefighters or ballerinas, but I wanted to be a veterinarian. While most of their dreams changed as they got older, mine stuck and I am determined to achieve it. I would always play vet as a kid, but little did I know 10 years later I'd be working towards this dream I had so long ago.…
Who would have thought when I took my first alcohol drink I would end up an alcoholic? Not me! It never was my intention to end up like that. But after that first drink, something happened, inside me. I couldn’t explain it but I liked the feeling. All I knew was, my first Bacardi and Coke did something to me that changed the direction of my life, for the better, I thought, but I was wrong.…
My childhood dream was to work as an anchor for ESPN. I still want to work in sports, as a college athletics video coordinator, video taping practices and games for game tape and the university archive. Sure, it was refined somewhat, but what I want to do is basically in the same vein as my childhood dream. When being asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up,” my answer was “an ESPN anchor.” I still think about that from time to time, even though I’m a freshman in college. I think if you keep the dreams from your youth in the back of your head, you will actively pursue something that you really love. If you like what you do, you will be much happier, and happiness is the key to quality of life.…
