GOALS - Sabrina Cazares

GOALS

It’s important to set realistic and time-sensitive goals in our lives because then, we are able to create a path for ourselves. If determined enough, that person will follow what they want and or wish.

For this school year, I hope to make it throughout the year with all “A’s”. Even though it’s a typical answer, we are all honor students; having all “A’s” is what we expect. It’s what we were taught. And if it wasn’t all “A’s”, it would be high grades with one or two “B’s”. Reading wise, my goal is to read faster and not to make so many annotations. As a writer, I will always make room for improvement. Hopefully with this class, more of my writing can come from the heart instead of putting fact after fact onto the paper, which honestly bores the reader. To be a better thinker, I want to have a goal of opening my comfort zone. When it comes to explaining how I feel or think, I shut down. I will listen to other sides of arguments, comments, and or ideas. I find them useful for my opinions.

When it comes to the future, the life that I want is chaotic. I know that I want to go to college; my first 4 years in California, and the second 4 years on the East Coast. Careers are hard for me because I can’t decide which one I want the most; there is a part of me that is asking if that’s the wrong path. I’m debating on becoming a lawyer, a writer, or a pilot in the Air Force. But I want to be a mother, and that would interfere with the careers. I don’t want to have my children think that my job, whatever it is, is more important than them. My uncle is a lawyer, it’s all I’ve ever wanted to be since I was 5. He takes me to his cases and discusses what it takes, and how much it takes. But once he had his daughter, I noticed that their family, wasn’t what I wanted. Writing has been such an important part in my life, but it won’t support my family. To be a writer, I want to be known; not just another author with a book on the shelves that only sell to a few people. I wish to join the Air Force because I want to make a difference, I want to be in the sky, and I want my kids to believe that I was someone that fought for a good reason; for them.
