Since my early years, I have been infatuated with business and making money. At the age of eight, my grandmother gave me a computer for Christmas. So, I began writing books and started my own publishing company. I wrote a series of books and marketed them to my entire family. Using colored pencils, I created postcards and addressed them to every relative in my family and successfully sold books. Next thing I knew, I found myself hiring my cousin as my illustrator. It was apparent to me and my family that I was mesmerized with business as I ended up firing my cousin as her work wasn’t up to my standards. By the time I was ten, I started my own bakery business called "Jason's Cakes." With the help of my mother, I made cupcakes, cookies, and fudge …show more content…
As President, I started several new initiatives like our muscular dystrophy association fundraiser and interactive stock market game. In addition, I was a sectional champion and state finalist in the marketing and management category. In high school, I was selected to participate in the Downers Grove Township’s attainable futures business leadership program where I worked cooperatively with area business leaders. The Attainable Futures program was a great experience because I learned valuable lessons about networking and how to be an effective business leader. In the future, I hope to utilize the tools gained from studying at a place like University of Illinois and better society in some way. The possibilities with a degree from the University of Illinois are endless and the alumni base will surely help me succeed in the future. Someday, I hope to own my own business that will leave a positive impact on society. Whatever my business may be, I will work hard to ensure that it is a well-run business that services the community in a variety of ways. In the end, I hope to utilize my University of Illinois degree to its maximum potential in order to leave a positive impact on
The new “American Dream”, why make it when you can just sit and do nothing all day while taxpayers money goes to you and the rest of the country forgets about you? I mean, I want to be able to be lazy and never have to work while other people have to pay for me by my own doing and my own choice. I am talentless, useless, and absolutely no help to society and that's why I've made it my goal in life to live in terrible conditions with the world assuming that they, of all people, know what I need and what I’ve done to let my life to get to this point. I could have a job that barely pays enough for me to be able to live and I if don’t, there's no way that I'm going to be able to get one. I mean, who would ever hire someone that's chosen to let their life get like this?
America’s gift to our generation is the hope for a better future is because we have the power to change our fate, change their life and turn their turn it around.
The American Dream today seems dismissed as an idealized cliché. I know better. I am a second-generation Albanian-American, political refugees’ grandchild, son of a single mother whose sacrifices facilitated my success. I would never have sung for the Metropolitan Opera had my grandfather not toiled in a deli; my working on cutting-edge biomedicine at Harvard Medical School would not be possible had my mother not had opportunities to be an entrepreneur. The first in my family to graduate from college, I hope to honor their sacrifice by using my medical research education to improve others’ lives.
As much as I consider myself a person who relishes in the present and finds the best in everything I encounter, I constantly find myself thinking about the future. My mind is always busy throughout the day; I am always planning out my homework schedule for the night, wondering what my mom will make for dinner, and daydreaming about the future and what it may hold for me. I am a naturally positive person, and because I subconsciously spend so much time thinking about the future, both short term and long term, I am always optimistic about the possibilities. I like to keep an open mind to all of these possibilities, and I consistently look for the best reality possible. By looking at my future and remaining optimistic about it, I am able to set goals for myself in order to help myself achieve what I need and want to achieve.
Goals, goals, goals they're what people think about and how they are going to achieve them in the future. My three goal in life are to get in the college of my choice, go skydiving and to get a well paying job. These three goals are important to me because they are what I am likely to achieve within the next ten years. As I grow and blossom into someone big, someone bigger than who I am today I don’t mean just physically but bigger intellectually, and more capable. These goals show me that if I want to achieve them, then I have to work hard to accomplish them.
Education and school, these both word always has been the main priorities for all of us. Pursuing the American dream of graduating college can be the best feel ever but it can also cost a price. College tuition is increasing more and more every year due to the fact of the rising economy. With student want to be successful in life they will need an education to a degree, which will land you a decent job in life. The problem is when the cost of gaining that degree outweighs the financial advantage to the career. Many of people are not able to pay for college out of their pocket. The result of this is that students seeking higher education are forced to take out an enormous amount of student loans. College tuition is on the rise, and a lot of students have difficulty paying for their tuitions. To pay for their tuitions, most students have to take out loans and at the end of four years, those students end up in debt. Student loan debts are at an all-time high with so many people graduating from college and having difficulties finding jobs in their career fields. So they have difficulties paying off their student loans and, they also don’t have a full understanding of the term of the loans and their options if they are unable to repay.This means that they are entering the workforce after college already thousands of dollars in debt and under water. I believe that students who borrow money from our government should not pay for their student loans.
One day, I hope to be a history teacher, high school, upper high school to be specific (I don’t handle tweens well… and I don’t know how to talk to kids, I know it’s shocking). But high school history doesn’t really tend to emphasize your opinions, your history, your anything. My AP history classes were dark classrooms with seats in perfect rows. I walked in everyday, sat in my assigned seat, took out my notebook, and wrote as my teachers lectured for 45 minutes everyday. Now I love history, I really do, and AP World history was potentially one of my all time favorite classes, but I wasn’t your average high school student, and your average high school student isn’t necessarily a fan of school, let alone ancient civilizations and dates, but

A river has the opportunity to lead to great things; even though, each one begins the same way with a fresh spring. It then, pools into a body of water, and starts flowing.

I used to live in cresco, but I moved to a farm in Ridgeway. I I live with my mom and dad and two siblings, their names are Brian, Sally, Laney, and Mitchell. I also have one dog, her name is Lucy.
Life is a continual learning process, which requires a strong method to develop better ways of apprenticeship. Personally, being able to obtain a higher education gives me an opportunity to be better in many ways. Everyone should have any personal goals in life in order to survive, prosper and succeed in every journey that life gives.

They are goals that I believe I need to have to be a successful member of the society, and through attending the university I also hope to gain a more positive image of myself, build my personal growth, along with achieving
Looking at the future, just before the end: everything else that happened, and everything that could have happened doesn’t seem to matter as they did when they were happening. Final thoughts race as the heart ebbs to its last thumps, milestones are remembered, successes are displayed like badges and regrets materialize to haunt the spirit; or perhaps it’s slow, like molasses, the mind attempts to feel the raw emotions when they occurred, arduously forgetting the worse of times just to get to the more lively minutes of your life. Death, the inevitable fate, is something completely foreign and unknown, therefore terrifying. However, as Mark Twain once said, “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to
