At a point in the future, there will come a time when every single goal and every single set accomplishment will be achieved. There will come a time when the idea of success is something that will not need to be an achievement anymore because it’s already been achieved. My name is Jayden Wilson, a racially mixed individual who envisions this idea of success and hopes to be as successful as I can be. There are many ideas and concepts that I hope to achieve in my life that meet my own “criteria” for being “as successful I can be”. From graduating from high school to starting my first day at my dream career, I strive to battle every obstacle that comes my way and achieve my life goal: to become the most successful version of myself
One of the first steps in preparing myself to be successful is graduating high school. Thankfully, I will most definitely graduate due to my academic and extracurricular success. My grade-point average is excellent and I have excelled in activities like student council, national honor society, and athletic sports including Track and Field. The next step would be to do the same thing as I did in high school but in college this time.
College is a whole new level from high school. One of the main differences is that in college, you are generally on your own on many things that you may not be used to doing. This is why when I begin college next fall, I must continue to work hard on academic and extracurricular achievements in order to move onto the next step in being successful. Some of these achievements include being employed on campus, maintaining an excellent grade-point average, getting involved within the community on campus, and finally, graduating with honor. If I do these things, I will be able to move onto the next step which involves my dream career. Though, with me already being admitted to Texas A&M University, and is a first-generation college student, I am motivated to tackle the college experience.
Ever since I was young, I’ve had the desire to work in a field that is both interesting and helps save lives. This desired field is known as the medical field. Becoming a doctor of some kind is something that I have always envisioned myself as. The idea of saving someone’s life inspires me in a way that’s different than usual. The different occupations and positions are also factors as many of these fields, like cardiology, for example, are very interesting to me. However, in order to be truly successful in this dream career, I have to take the third step in my “criteria” which is to thoroughly complete medical school and find the field that best fits for me. Despite med-school being years away, I’ve already started thinking about which medical school I could attend to fulfill my third step requirements.
Finally, once I completely finish high school, college, and medical school, I must go through the first couple of years as a doctor in order to call myself “successful”. Whether it be a nurse or a surgeon, whichever medical profession I end up working in, I hope that I am happy with the profession and that I do my best of my ability in that profession. Once this happens, that’s when I will fully deem myself as successful. Now, there are many other things I can still do to be even more successful. For example, I can get married and have a family. I can have my own medical center or business. I can even inspire others to be successful like me in whatever field they desire to be in. Overall, with everything I have in mind to prepare for this, my goal in life is to become as successful as I can be and inspire people to do the same. As long as I strive to never give up, I will surely be the successful person I dream to be.
