As an eighteen year old it’s sometimes hard to think about your life time goals, especially when your life has only begun. But you can dream and strive to achieve the most drastic of lifetime goals. My lifetime goal is to become a successful forensic anthropologist maintaining my connection to music that I currently have. For the past seven years of my life I have been a part of an intense band program while maintaining an AB academic average and that experience, along with my academic experience of taking advanced courses all while staying in touch with the musical side of the world, is what’s going to help me achieve this lifetime goal. Being a part of a rigorous band program where success is all that we strive toward, all the while maintaining suitable grades in my advanced classes is what’s going to give me the foundation to start my life on.…

A medical mission is a wonderful opportunity to broaden my horizons and build character. It is an excellent time to experience the practice of medicine in another country. This also presents the opportunity in advocating health literacy to the less fortunate people. This can make a huge difference simply by talking to patients about different health determinants such lack of good eating habits to even something simple as using clean water. For example, informing people about what they need to do and why it’s important can have an impact on some people in community.…

My career goals are to be successful and to change the current status of women around the world.

As I walked up to the plate, I wiped the beads of sweat dripping from my head while I was looking at my 3rd base coach and he gave me the sign to wait to swing till after the first strike. I felt butterflies in my stomach as I stepped into the batters box. The first pitch was a strike and then the next three pitches were balls. The kid that batted in front of me had the same count count and he got a changeup down the middle and hit the ball to right field.…
When I picture my future, the most prominent aspect of it is my happiness. The most probable source of my happiness would have to be finally believing I’ve done something great, something generating that gratifying feeling of “I made it”. I’m very fortunate to be able to say that throughout just about all of my school career, I’ve always known I wanted to work in a business-related profession and achieve success. Knowing that I want to pursue a prosperous career in this field, I have involved myself in karate, business classes and accounting activities, and leadership programs, just about all made possible by the Gear Up IV program.…

Jane McGonigal effectively uses statistics and facts, and she successfully uses ethos and logos…
Ever since I was small I have always liked technology. Watching TV, playing video games, and listening to music have always been my favorite things to do. I have seen technology everywhere, on my TV set, my radio, and my video game console. As I grew up, I discovered my passion towards technology, and since then I know what to do in my life. Every time I would damage my computer, broke my phone, or even damage my video games console, my uncle would always fix it.…
All my life I have been interested in communication. I originally thought that communication was just a passion, but now I realize it is what I want to do as a career.
