Personal Vision
Twenty years from now I will be 37 and hopefully have done many things I want to do today. I would like to say that in twenty years I will keep living and keep the same spirit of a teenager for the rest of my life. No matter what happens I hope to remain happy and comfortable in my skin. I want to remain confident and intelligent to make the best decisions for my life when the time comes. I couldn't tell you word for word what I hope to do because I don't want to follow a plan. I don't want to live my life thinking about what I wanted or created for me for the future. This is not to say that I haven't thought about where I would like to see myself in twenty years.
One of my main goals is to focus on me first. I plan to go to a good college with a good reputation but also a place that I know I will be happy and excel at for for years. At college I would like to double major because I have many interests that I would like to focus and choose from. I want to also focus on pursuing the career of my choice wether it makes good money or not. I am very excited to attend college and be able to have some independence to explore and figure out the type of young women I want to become. I am very interested in politics and education so I want to mix them to and find a job maybe as a principal, mayor, school board, or assembly member due to my interest of also staying in a more local community. No matter what career I Get involved with I know I want to have some government ties and helping others in my community. I hope to gain many friendships that will stay with me for rest of life. I want my social life to be just as important as my career. I would like to have traveled even more than I do now because I find it so important and has had such a big impact on my life.
Looking into my future in later years I would like to also start a family. I want to have kids at a younger age before 35. I want to have four kids and maybe adopt one. The reason for this is because I don't want to have to raise kids when I'm older and put my life on pause. I would like to almost grow up with my kids at the same time so then we have a stronger connection and can still do things when I'm older. Family is has always been very important to me so having a husband and family is a top priority for me but not until I have found myself and a career. I don't know when this will all happen but I know that it will which is what makes a challenge. I have lived in Alameda my whole life surrounded by the same community and have been supported greatly my whole life; I cannot wait now to go make a life of my own. I look forward to the struggles the world will give me. I know that college won't be easy or the workforce or having to manage a family and the responsibilities that come along with that but that is what makes it so exciting. I will never be able to thank enough the people who have supported me for 17 years now but I'm ready now to support myself and my new family for the next twenty years and the rest of my life.
