What I Want
It was during senior year that I really began to understand myself well. I realized what my strengths and weaknesses are and what my likes and dislikes are. Beginning of senior year is when every student is applying to college and really pondering their future. All those college essays I was writing made me think, what do I want to do with the rest of my life? It was a grand question. I realized that I cannot plan my life because it just not a realistic approach to one’s future. So I decided to take it step by step. First, I searched to find the college that was right for me. This made think what did I want from college experience? I searched the different studies and realized that I was most interested in an area pertaining to business. I wanted a distinct undergraduate business program that would be easy for my parents to afford. I came across the Baruch Honors Program and was amazed. I get an excellent education for an absolutely affordable price and many other perks that just spice up the deal. Plus it’s located in New York City.
With all the free time I had because of senior year, I realized that I love a laid back lifestyle. In the future, I want to have a job that I’m excited about waking up to every morning. It does not have to be a job that makes a lot of money but I job that I enjoy. I also want to be playing sports, particularly basketball and soccer, almost everyday. When I play sports, I rid of so much stress and worry. It is beneficial to my mental health and my physical health. Playing sports motivate me to take on life’s challenges more zestfully. I also realized how much I enjoy an easygoing lifestyle when I visited Israel last summer. The people there are not rushing every minute of their lives to reach the American dream like the average American wishes to. They have to spend time in the army and then attend university, but they lack the rushing spirit that is found in America. I believe it leads to a healthier lifestyle and a later death.
