In the musical ‘Into The Woods’ written by Stephen Sondheim my favorite quote is “Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor” and as my high school career is rapidly coming to an end and adulthood is becoming more and more of a concept I am beginning to grasp all of the things that I want to achieve are rushing to my mind. I want to do so many things; I want to help people and teach people, I want to create peace and art, provide hope and kindness to those to need it. I want to learn all I can and then share my knowledge with anyone who is willing to hear it. But , as previously stated for some of these things there are only so many opportunities, which makes me think more of chances I should have taken and moments I should have seized. So as I enter this next chapter of my life I plan to take the opportunities that are given to me and work for the things that I wish for. …show more content…

I believe that getting my associates degree first will help future educators look at me as a more serious candidate for their teaching programs. As I attend Pierce College I specifically want to further my knowledge in American Sign Language and take more art histories. Once I finish my education at Pierce College I want to transfer to a university and work on getting a bachelor's degree and become an arts teacher, focusing mainly on theater and stage production. Theater is something that really helped me maintain motivation during my junior and senior years of high school and it provided me with a safe space to express myself and form some of the best friendships I have ever had. If I could provide that kind of space and community to a student and make people enjoy their high school experience a little more than I would be

There are the choices of one's own doing that are important. With life, there come decisions, most opportunities in life pass and there are new ones to experience. Yet, in life, you should go for things and not allow them to pass by, to never be thought of again. Something that can show how to take chances at opportunities is the 2013 film The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, which was inspired by James Thurber’s short story The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty.

Only 5% of people accomplish their dreams in a life span of 100 years. This isn’t because chasing your dreams is not acceptable or frowned upon, but because people never want to take the hard way, they never want to put in the work. Although, seeing that only 5% of people accomplish their dreams, it shouldn’t deter you from the fact that it’s possible you can become a part of that 5%.

Ever since I can recall, I remember making big plans for my future, butt I did not know, at that age, that college was actually something that had to be payed for. Even though I eventually realized it, it still didn’t make me stray from my path, on the contrary, it gave me more of a reason as to why I should aspire to do better than my surroundings. As the oldest child, I have always been told that I must be the greater example for my younger siblings as well as for others. Up until my early teenage years I did not understand why I should be a distinguished person for others and not for myself. I now yearn to become someone to make the world a better place.

Theodore Roosevelt once said "Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground”. Roosevelt knew that in order to get somewhere you had to look forward and aspire for greatness in whatever you do but also be level-headed and know your limitations.

The Corps makes leaders, that’s the Mission Statement, but are we accomplishing that goal? Are the policies which maintain this institution building free thinking leaders or vexatious micromanagers? Are we allowing outfits to create their own identity and a sense of pride, or are we just another ROTC program in a civilian college? Cadets are not given the opportunity to grow as leaders in a Senior Military College; a college that produces more officers than any other school besides the Academies. The Corps should enforce its sense of military rigidity in regards to cadets in all classes, allows leaders to learn from their actions, and permit a sense of outfit identity and pride.

Everything I have done in my adult life has always had an underlying reasoning or driving force beyond my personal desires. I am an extremely calculating person in regards to what, when, where, and why I do the things I do. Just as every single person in this world, my actions have not always played out in the manner in which I foresaw them but to this day I would not change any of the difficult times I have found myself in. The reasoning for my mindset is because everything I have gone through has had a lasting affect on me as a person and has undoubtedly helped make me the person I am today. It is that mindset and that line of thinking that drives me in regards to understanding my own health care desires and concerns.
