Ever since a young age, children have pretended to become great occupants when they get older. They always use their imagination, when pretending to become a lawyer, doctor, professional sports player, or an astronaut. Later, in life, these young children soon blossom to young adults and still have their mindset on becoming great things. I was once was that young child and am now that young adult dreaming and hoping for my goal, to become a doctor, to come true. I have set that dream to a life goal, now that I have the ability to achieve it and greater things.
