The more we grow and the more life passes by, our definition of “success” changes here and there. As a kindergartner, maybe being a superhero might have been your dream come true when it came to success. In middle school, your mom would not stop nagging you to get off your Playstation because she would say it is rotting your brain. But she did not want to understand your love and passion for videogames and how you would see yourself being a video game designer in the real world one day. All of these are minor but real examples of how our views and perspectives in life varies. No matter what your dream job is, there will always be those small steps you will need to achieve first in order to reach the big picture. Especially in college, where

However, there are certain ones that I have learned throughout this course that have helped me the most. The one that is at the top of my list is to stay motivated. Easier said than done. For instance, it is not easy for me staying motivated in an algebra class since I am planning on becoming a scientist. Yet, I learned it is important to think of the long term goal.
