Have you ever sat down for a day, and thought to yourself about what your goals in life are? Had you made up your mind that very same day about what it is your going to school for?
Seventh grade. That was when I was introduced to setting long-term and short-term goals. That was when I was told that I had to start thinking about a career and how I am going to accomplish that goal. I remember I've had it set in my mind that I wanted to be a veternarian at the time; no more thoughts about it. Then came eighth grade.
Eighth grade, figuring out your goals was more pressuring. I had decided that I no longer wanted to be a veternarian. I changed my mind and told myself that I wanted to go to medical school and become a doctor's assistant or a doctor of my own. I considered this career since eighth grade and all through my Freshman year. But I told myself to get myself through highschool and towards the end of my Junior year and the start of my Senior year, worry about college.
Now, I'm a Sophomore in school. The thoughts of becoming a doctor is somewhat still there. I really wanna pursue in a career that deals with helping infants, toddlers and younger children. I want to be a Pediatrician. I enjoy working with younger kids and helping take care of their needs; sickness and in health.
Though I know what I want to be, I'm not quite sure what 4-year college to attend to yet. Being a Sophomore, I'm not necessarily worried about that yet. I've concluded to work on that during my Junior year and I aim for finalizing my plan during my Senior year. So as of now, I'm just working on passing the tenth grade. One day, I will reach my long-term goal. My short-term goals come first and those will help me work towards my long-term goal.
