In September of next year I see myself in college. I plan to do this by applying to the
college I want to got to. In the next five to ten years I would like to have finished
college and have gotten my degree in engineering, and if possible getting ready to
start a family. In order to make that life a reality I need stick to what I like and not
what people want me to do and ultimately keep working hard. I think I need to do
this because if i don’t do this then I won’t be where I need to be in the upcoming
years. The skill and strengths I have that I have to help me develop this life is hard
work and I love fixing things. I need to develop better math skills.
