This is one of the greatest and most important goals I have because it has such a huge impact on my future and my career/personal goals. This goal is a goal that I really control all of the factors for, in other words I am fully responsible for this goal. It doesn’t involve anyone else. I have always thought that I will be able to fly through college but I have found that I was very wrong. My brother is in college and just finished his freshman year. He said it was nothing like highschool because it’s a lot tougher and you are on your own. So his experience changed my thoughts a lot. My second college goal is to get into medical school. I am the only one in my family that is really interested in the medical field. It has always been a goal of mine to get into medical school. Getting into Medical school is extremely important to me because I want to be a doctor of some sort in the future. So obviously I need to get into medical school. This is difficult though because I have looked up the acceptance rate and the qualifications you need and it isn’t gonna be easy. I feel that it is probably my most difficult goal.

I would like to be a doctor of some sort. I know that is not very specific but that is really all I could narrow my goal down to. I am breaking one of the rules of goals but I have 8 more years to decide what medical field I would like to be in so I feel I will be okay. This goal is really important because it is my whole entire career and the goal all of my goals have been leading up too. Every decision I make is going to effect this goal, so I need to pull it together in high school. My second personal goal is to travel the world. This goal is very broad and i would like to keep it that way. I don’t want to write down one place I want to go all over. I want to see some of the most historic and beautiful places on the earth. This is very big because I feel like having knowledge of other cultures would help me understand and give me a better understanding for everything. This is a goal that I feel will change my life

The main reason I look up to Brady is because he has created a life out of nothing, he has worked incredibly hard for everything he has; leading to him becoming a successful lawyer, Brady had goals and dreams and through his hard work he transformed dreams and aspirations into reality.
