When I Have Fears
Have you ever written a list of things you desire to accomplish in life? Or just having a simple goal? Some people may have a certain place they want to visit, or maybe something simple like winning a hot wing eating contest. When John Keats realizes that he’s only going to live for a little while longer due to TB, he starts to take a look at what’s going to happen. In his “When I Have Fears That I May Cease to be,” he explains what he is going to miss after he is gone. Three things that I want to accomplish before I die is skydiving, graduating high school and moving on to college, and traveling to Greece.
The first thing on my bucket list is skydiving. I am terrified of heights, but skydiving is something I am willing to try. I’ve been on some pretty intense roller coasters in my life time. I guess you could call me an adrenaline junkie, but I love taking risks. I want to learn the proper steps to take when skydiving. I’m not going to be that person that gets up there and chickens out because they are too petrified to jump. …show more content…
I have always wanted to go to college and get some sort of a degree, but as of right now, I am unsure of what I want to study. Graduating high school is something that most everyone has to go through. I was a bit of a slacker in my previous years and it made me realize that I need to get my crap together so I can get my diploma on time. My senior year is something that I have looked forward to my whole life. It’s my last year of high school and the beginning to something entirely different called reality. Right now, I am on track to graduate high school and I’m starting to take a closer look at what I want to do as an

    Introduction: Management and Introductory Paragraph

    I have wanted to go to college since I was twelve; I believed it would be exciting to go to school as an adult. When I became a teenager I thought I had decided that I wanted to be a school teacher, but as we grow these things change. I then attempted college for something completely different but was unable to finish due to tragic circumstances. Now at twenty-six years old I have found what I truly want to do with my life. I took a career interest profiler, a program that provides you with possible occupations that match your interests. After taking the profiler, I find I may slightly disagree. However, my results did show me new things about myself I did not know. From these results, I have created some SMART goals to help achieve my ultimate goal.…

    When I Have Fears and Mezzo Cammin

    As people near the time of their deaths, they begin to reflect upon the history and events of their own lives. Both John Keats’ “When I have Fears” and Henry Longfellow’s “Mezzo Cammin” reflect upon the speakers’ fears and thoughts of death. However, the conclusions between these two poems end quite differently. Although both reflect upon Death’s grasp, Keats’ displays an appreciation and subtle satisfaction with the wonders of life, while Longfellow morbidly mourns his past inactions and fears what events the future may bring.…

    Dental Hygienist Personal Goals

    Hello, I am currently a junior in college. This has been my third at Houston community college. I initially started off by wanting to be a Dental Hygienist but later I started to realize it was not something I was passionate about. I soon came to the conclusion that I want to be an elementary school teacher. In the beginning I was thinking about money rather than a degree I would be dedicated to. I graduated high school back in 2011 and to be honest college was never in my panorama. After graduating I got my first job at Family dollar and that was my wake up call. I realized that I would not be able to live an abundant life getting paid minimum wage. I knew that if I wanted to make a difference in my life, I would have to go back to school.…

    Three Reasons to Attend College

    How do we know what do we want to do when we reach college? Do we have any clue what type of career we want to work in for possibly the rest of lives? How can one know the one thing we love to do if they have never discovered that one thing in your life, your true desire if you have not ventured throughout any possibly mean of education? We have to be open to all the possibilities out there. Open to ideas we may have never heard of, ideas that you may have of thought of negatively but willing to hear out why people think it’s right and therefore leaving your mind open by listening to other people other than yourself. Do things you have never done, give yourself a chance to be all that you can be, all that you want to be.…

    What Are My Post-Secondary Goals

    As a high school student there’s a lot of work and event’s going on. Whenever someone says “so what are you doing after high school”? I always say I don’t know. Sometimes it helps me to think what I don’t want to do and it narrows it down for me. My dad has been in the fire department for 30 years and he’s always saying I should follow in his footsteps. I would love to commit to a job like everyone else, but I feel like once I get older my mind will change. My post-secondary goals are still unclear, but not because I don’t know what to do. It seems like there are a lot of careers I would fit into and would excel at. So why would I commit to one now. By the end of high school, I will pursue a career and I can see if I like it or not. I have spent my whole childhood thinking about playing college football but I don’t really see a…

    Personal Statement: A Career In Physical Therapy

    As we grow up, our decisions change. We start out at a young age saying we want to be a princess, superhero, or rockstar. After realizing that we cannot ever be one of those, we start to be more realistic with what we want to be later in life. As a middle schooler, many of us tend to say we want to be a teacher, doctor, or vet because they make a lot of money. However, as we go through junior high school and high school many people tend to be completely lost as to where they want their life to go. As teenagers, adults should not expect us to have our entire life figured out. We are still learning and making regrets as we mature into adulthood. For several people, they do not figure out what they want to do with their life until the middle of college. However, I am completely different.…

    Achieving The American Dream Essay

    My response was that I wanted to be a waitress. As a child, growing up in a family of restaurant workers, I found nothing wrong with my response. In my freshman year, my class took a field trip to a YMCA college fair. Once again, I was asked the same question, but this time in front of several students. My new response was to be a Police Officer. Sophomore year I considered the fields of counseling or teaching. However, Junior year all my previous aspirations went away and became interested in nursing. Near the end of Junior year, I couldn't quite make up my mind of what I wanted to do. When I put determination and effort into something, I discovered something new about myself which makes it hard for me to have a goal to work for. Being a first-time generation student puts a lot of pressure; the need to make your parents feel proud puts a lot of weight on a person. As a Senior I’m currently undecided, but I still have a goal: helping others in any way or form. In our generation, people look up to individuals who have a professional job. I grew up believing, the only way to have an impact on others is by having a high profession. Society has shown us that having a high education, and a well paid job, is the key to being…
