MVVG Paper

For my entire life I have put myself at the forefront of all of my goals and ambitions. I

looked at the world through a narrow vision where I see myself reaching the top of some

corporation and making loads of money. I never cared what happened outside of my world and I

was content with it. This was my life until the events that occurred in March of 2020. The Covid-

19 pandemic was a major shock to the lives of many and even a shock to my own. This major

problem led me to open my eyes to the problems of others and how many people are suffering.

This has allowed me to open my eyes and search for ways to make the world a better place.

Through this paper we will be able to look into my mission, vision, values, and goals of my life

that have changed in recent years.

My mission for life had always been to be successful. To find ways to make my life easy

even it required the misfortune of others. But in recent events I have decided to forgo this notion

and live by a more humane mission. That mission is to expand my horizons in the attempt to

assist people who may be in need. I have never been one to mess with the affairs of others, but

there are those who need help and I want to see them thrive. There really is no point to me

thriving while others are not.

Ten years from now I can see myself in two scenarios, ideal and realistic, depending on

where life takes me. My ideal life would be to be drafted to play baseball after college and

continue the dream that I have had since I was a kid. I would be pitching for the Los Angeles

Angels, my favorite team, and making somewhere along the lines of 8-10 million a year. I would

take residence in orange county in a nice house that would be close to the beach. I plan to be

married and have two kids, both of which will be boys. I intend on having my kids follow my

footsteps and dive into the world of baseball like I did at a young age. With my wealth, I intend
to help others. I would first buy my parents a house in Seal Beach, California as they have

always wanted to live there. They have done so much for me and have been there for everything,

so this is the least I could do for them. I would then donate to various charities and do in person

visits to wherever my presence can help. My realistic life would be much less lavish. I would see

myself working a financial analyst job at Albertsons like my dad. I will be on the verge of

moving up the corporate ladder and sneaking into a director role. I would be living in a more

modest house in the suburbs of Chino Hills, California. I would have a wife and two kids, both

of which would be boys. I would be donating the excess money I have to charities and

volunteering at homeless events and food drives.

The values that I live by are continuously changing as the world ahead of me is always

changing. But as of right now my three values include that of perspective, being the best at what

you do, and family. I have done a poor job in the past on looking into the perspectives of others.

I typically see what I see and go with it. If I want to be the person that my mission describes I

must see what others see. This was apparent just the other day when I was at Bargain Market

getting some groceries. I heard the clerk talking about how since the pandemic started, he had

lost much of his family and had gone through some hard times. I was personally not affected

much by the pandemic and seeing someone in real time who had was eye opening. As for being

the best at what I do, I want to be the best at helping others. This was executed when I was

tasked with assisting the new guy on our team get accustomed to the program. I wanted him to

succeed so I did the best I could to help him out. As for family, I feel as if I do not spend enough

time with them especially since college. I made it a priority over winter break to spend time with

my family and do activities with them. They have done the most for me and I want to do the

most for them.

My Goals Include

Graduating Point Loma in May of 2023 with a BS in Finance with a 3.8 GPA

Attending/Volunteering 3 charity events every year after I obtain a stable job

Donating 30% of my discretionary income to charities of my choice every year

I know that my life and goals are important, but solely looking at life for my own

personal gain is not the way in which I want to live. To help others is to help yourself and to look

in the eyes of another helps you understand much more about the world.
