How To Become An Underwater Welder

Improved Essays
Have you ever questioned and thought to yourself where you might be in the future? In today’s world you will never know what might come tomorrow. You will never know the obstacles god had in store for you. That’s why I live my life one day at a time. In my life I plan to succeed in everything I do but, nothing is ever perfect or go as planned. I dream to be a underwater welder veteran. I want to go into the Navy and become a certified welder. I plan to be an active sailor from four two ten years at most before I decide to retire. So I have the skills built up for when I decide to go back to school to learn how to become a underwater welder. I’ve always wanted to do this job due to the money. It is a highly paid job because of its dangerous environments. The job is to fix and repair the oil rigs and ships to keep from collapsing and or sinking. …show more content…
Plus I’ve always loved the ocean. Sometimes in life you will face obstacles, enjoyment and the ability to make the wrong or right decisions.
One of the main obstacles I face is the navy. It is extremely important because that’s how I plan to become a certified welder rather than taking classes and having to pay for each class when I could be getting paid while I learn what I need to become a certified welder. It takes a lot of blood and sweat just to make it in the navy. It as well is one of my dreams I hope to fulfill and that is being into the military. I have a lot of retired veterans in my family all the way back to the civil war. So to me it is my destiny to be in the military. To join my forefathers before me. After I retire from the military and if I retire at a high rank my bank account would be filled with money once I get home. And money is an issue towards everything. Especially when you don’t know how to control yourself when it comes to spending money. Yes money is fun to play with and go have fun with but, not being careful you could become bankrupt. I know this do to my biological father having to file bankruptcy because his lack of control with money. Another thing is when you come home and you have a girlfriend or wife and you soon start to have the urge to start a family. Once one is made, it makes fulfilling your dreams much harder. Going to school and taking care of kids is one hard job. My mother knows this experience with me. She played college softball, went to school and came home at night and had to take care of me and my sister. We both made it out fine but, it took away my mother’s dream of being a cattle farmer and horse rancher. I plan to hopefully overcome these obstacles by controlling myself and realize everything before I do it and make the wrong decisions. Keeping me short of my goal of being an underwater welder. Making the right decisions are the key to a better future. Making the decision to smoke weed before a drug test isn’t making the right decision. Not even getting in that type of situation is making the right decision. The main way to beat making the wrong decision is to think before you act. Doing that right there will lead you to a better and more

    Becoming a welder wasn’t exactly in my career path as a young child I actually never made up my mind of exactly what I would like to do. During my kid stage I was never stable I lived in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and a cycle between these 3 states and I focused on my grades and education rather than my future, which now I would be learning was a bad choice. In high school I knew these 4 years would be the last chance of choosing my career wisely and after watching my uncle and father do something they enjoyed I set it a goal to accomplish what they did. One would say my career choice was a random dive because I’ve never experienced the feeling of welding, but I know that even if I don’t enjoy I can always search for a better career that’s…
