The Vision

        In present day it is hard to imagine what I will be five or ten years from now. When I was a little girl walking around with ponytails held high up and with my little folder I imagined myself being a teacher or someone I admired for their hard work. For example every time I saw officials that benefitted the community like a police officer or a doctor. The real reason I wanted to be like them was because I wanted to make a change more like a big difference, something everyone in my family can be proud of. None of my family members went to college, and both my parents did not even finish high school. It is not something to be ashamed of considering some of the obstacles they had to face but that is a big motivation for me. I want to have a career in which my whole family can be proud of and I can feel accomplished doing.My older sister is eighteen and she had a baby while she was in high school and still managed to graduate and get her diploma and is now going to go to UMASS Boston. I one day also want to go to college and start the journey to success.






I envision myself waking up every morning and not having to grouch about being awake so early, simply because I enjoy what I do for a living. I want to be a pediatrician, that is a person who specializes with children. In my job description I will be able to sign of prescriptions, do physicals and counsel the children. The age group I would like to work with would be 5-18 year olds. In order to do this for the rest of my life I would have to go to undergrad for four years and then grad school for another approximately four years to get my masters and then two years of hospital training combined while I am in grad school. So much school would be worth it in the end mainly because I get to become what I have always wanted since I was a little girl and because they get paid pretty well. Those are mainly the reasons as to why it appeals to me and what I hope to accomplish in ten years time.
