How do we know what our purpose is? When I was little I wanted to be a singer. When I was in middle school I wanted to be a vet. All through high school I wanted to do the same thing that my dad does. But now that I’m in college I have absolutely no clue what I want to do or who I want to be and it is so scary and stressful. Not a moment goes by that I don’t stress about what I am going to do with my life.

I don’t know if I will get into the business school or the advertising school, and if I don’t get into those, what am I supposed to do? I am currently working very hard to try to to attain the right GPA for both of those schools, but there is always the fear that I won’t be enough. While I haven’t figured out where my life is going to go after college, I have figured out who I want to be.

When I was younger who I wanted to be was directly correlated with what I wanted to be. But now things are totally different. No matter what I end up doing with my life I know that type of person I want to be: someone that makes an impact on the world.

I want to help people in no matter what field I go into, and I believe that it is attainable no matter the career. By being a good person and treating everyone with respect I believe that I can make this world a better place and that is all I can ask for. Whether it be in the financial world or the advertising world, I want to work honestly and live wholesomely. By coming up with new ideas and presenting thoughts that I know are for the best of everyone involved, I believe that I will better the people around me. That is all I can ask for. I want people to remember me as someone who cared for everyone around me and about everything I did. I want to put my heart into my work and because of that I’m not scared of the future anymore. I’m not scared because I know in my heart that as long as I am doing the right thing, I will be happy.

“Believing you’re a good person and actually being one are too completely different things.”
