Numerous achievements occur outside of the classroom and I hope to take part in the vast, wonderful opportunities provided. During my first year, I want to expand my world by learning skills and knowledge you cannot teach in a classroom, but can only find through exploration. I will soon be in a new environment with people, places, and activities that New Jersey just does not offer, such as swimming with manatees. Here I wish to discover more about myself and find a niche. College life is not only about academics, but also about making friends to last a lifetime and pushing past your comfort zone. However, my first year will not only be about myself, instead I want to better my community since Tallahassee will be my city too. I hope to find …show more content…
Since I was little, I always valued school, grades, and excellence because this is the best foundation for a successful future. As you can see by my high school, the Academy for Allied Health Sciences along with my grades, I devote myself to academia when the school year is in session. This will be no exception when I am in the Honors Program. I want to be in this program because I hope to further my education within a tight-knit community, so I can grow and prosper.

Yet, this question is important to me since I have contemplated this for a while now, especially with major decisions arising in my life. I need to determine my path, but while doing this I constantly think about what makes me happy. Will I be happy if I chose a field with immense potential for success, or where I can make enough money to prevent worry about debt or feeding my family? I really do not know, but I hope through research and collaboration I can benefit from others’ perspectives and views to come to my own conclusion. Furthermore, researching this question is beneficial to society today. Too much of our world rotates around a false sense of happiness because some people never find something they are truly passionate about or they just ignore their passions, assuming it will only end in failure. However, getting people to answer and think deeply about this question will allow them to discover a light within themselves in order to reach a sense of true
