According to Larry Elder, " A dream without a goal is a wish. A Goal without a Plan is just a dream.." We have a dream and set goals, we know what we want and we work for it. As a young and enthusiastic student, I have many goals to reach. For short-term goals, I will study hard for "A" in my AP classes to help strengthen my GPA, and get my certificate to work at pharmacy. That's a job that I always want. On top of that, it helps building up some skills for my future career, as well as save up some money for a car, that way, I don't need to borrow my uncle's car every time I want to go out .
For long term goals I will go to San Jacinto College. My cousin was there. Although he want to be a dentist, we have same interested in Science courses such as Chemistry and Biochemistry. He could give me some tips and tricks to deal with college life. After two years, I'll transfer to University of Houston. It's one of the top school in Texas that has the Pre-Pharmacy Program. I will pursuing a Pharm.D. degree there, and become a pharmacist. Moreover as my mom advising me that I need a back up "plan" for my career, computer science will be a "plan B" for me. Although I am not desire a job to work with computer, still, mom know best. The job market in US is needing some coding technologist. Certainly, I won't be jobless. Because life is hard, it necessary to create a safe future for myself, and at the same time, focusing on the main goal, which becoming a pharmacist. It is a good job with a good salary; as long as people need medicine, I'm in safe zone. After a couple of years, I will own a pharmacy store myself in order to be financial stability; it is very necessary for me and my family. Then, I'll buy a house and have my own family. Having a happy marriage and bunch of smart kids is my plan, too. I will bring my kids back to Vietnam so they have a better understand about the country that I have grown up, also the addicting street food at night-market.
Although there should be many challenge waiting for me down the road. I always do my best like I did from years to years, and achieve my goal as I expected.
thank you
