Becoming Who You Are

The past couple months have been extremely stressful not only for myself, but for my fellow classmates as well.  With the stresses of applying to colleges, getting accepted into colleges, maintaining good grades, and keeping up with a personal/social life, one can really lose themselves along the way.  With everyone asking me, "Where am I going next year", or "what am I going to do with my life", I found myself asking those questions as well.  I have my whole life ahead of me, and I am in charge of every step I make.  So what am I supposed to do with my life? What is God's plan for me?  Not only do I strive to live up to everyone's expectations for me, I am determined to live my life to the absolute fullest and be true to myself and my beliefs.  My experience in high school really has helped me form and mold who I am today and helped me find out who I am and my strengths and weaknesses, and I am determined to stay true to who I am through my college life as well.
In my future, I found out that I am going to major in Business and minor in Communications at Saint Joseph's University and after my college experience, I am going to be apart of a major public relations firm.  I am confident that this is the path I am going to take in my life and be quite successful.

My Mission Statement

My mission in life is, like many others, is to succeed in whatever I find myself doing in twenty-five years.  But my main and underlining focus to my mission is happiness and to be yourself.  I may be driven to succeed and be wealthy and famous, but I will not loose myself or loose happiness while on my journey to success.  Success does not mean to be a millionaire or be a celebrity and have your name in lights, even though its an add-on to success.  Success is waking up in the morning and be happy to be alive; to be happy with your job, with your friends, with your family, with the one you love, and especially with yourself.  I want to do the things I love in life, which is to do new and exciting things and create memories with the ones I love.  I have the controls to my own life and there are many paths I can take, but if I stay true to myself and find happiness whereve I go, then I know I have chosen the right path.  Smile, love and happiness are three words that are my main focus in life.  Love what your doing and love the people around you, but most importantly always love youself.
