In my life, my career goals are to be
a race-car driver and an engineer. To
accomplish these goals, I must have knowledge about driving a race car and
having high math skills.
The sacrifices I must take are to
study lot of high level math, watch less TV, develop very good imagination, and
earn very good grades to land in a good college.
I should seek support from my family,
friends, and teachers. I also need to
research information on the computer to make me more knowledgeable.
Throughout my life, I will keep
reminders such as: never give up, don’t listen to people who are negative, take
advice from a trusted adult, and always listen to my teachers.
I will have faith in myself, my loved
ones and God in achieving my goals, so that means I do BELIEVE!
I envision working hard to achieve my
goals so I will be an engineer and race-car driver, so that means I can DREAM!
I follow my dad’s footsteps to be the
engineer that he is, so that means I am INSPIRED!
Chicken Soup for the Kid’s Soul is a
great book, because it includes stories about hope, courage and laughter. The authors of this book were Jack Canfield,
Mark Victor Hansen, Patty Hansen and Irene Dunlap.
The story that inspired me and caught
my attention was “Aliens on the Internet” (page 34-38). This story was about a lonely boy named Andy
communicating with a kid named Joey over the Internet. Andy
finds out that Joey is an alien and not a real kid. Andy doesn’t care if Joey is an alien. Joey provides Andy with support for his
dreams and goals, just like my family, my friends and teachers support me.
Andy communicates with Joey, an alien,
but I communicate with real human beings.
I am fortunate because I have a strong support system. My family, friends and teachers are real in
my life and I don’t need to seek support from fake internet creatures.
While I need my loved ones to believe
in myself, Andy needs Joey.
While I seek my loved ones to achieve
my dreams, Andy seeks Joey.
While my dad inspires me to be an
engineer, Joey inspires Andy.
I am blessed because I have support
from people who care for me, and who can make me believe, dream and inspire!
