I anticipate that there will be changes in the upcoming future. However, I believe I need to set goals for myself in order to have something to work towards. Currently, I am a 2^nd year De Anza College student. Many of my professional goals have to do with my education. I recently received my acceptance to the Haas School of Business at University ofCalifornia, Berkeley. I am working towards earning a B.S. at the University and by then my professional goals reach a fork in the road. The first choice would be to go to law school. I would like to attend a private university for law. If I do become a lawyer, I would like to eventually become a judge. The other road that can possibly be taken is to work at a major financial institution as an Investment Banker. I would work to become head of the financial department if I decide to work in the field of accounting. What will determine where I go? I am not sure. A few of the factors I am considering now is how I will afford law school. When I graduate, I plan on working and if my job satisfies me, I may decide to work rather than continue law school. Haas School of Business is known for having corporations recruit from Haas specifically. If that does not work out for me, I can always continue my studies.

Personal Goals

            I am currently twenty years old. I would like to travel to every continent before I am thirty years old. I am hoping to be married before I am thirty and to have my first child, through adoption or biological birth before I am thirty-five years old. I am hoping to afford a home as well as efficient transportation. One of my biggest goals is to keep family close together because growing up I never had a very adhesive family dynamic. I would like to travel with my brothers and sisters and their families. I would like to live within driving distance of them and their families. My personal goals also include being successful in all my aspirations. I would like to run a full marathon, complete my formal education, learn to play the piano and guitar. I would like to learn about and do all of the things I never did as a child. I would like to grow as a mother, a wife, and most of all a woman. I would like to be active in my community, wherever that may be. Currently, I am not religious, but I have observed over the years that religion has helped a great deal of people get through hard times. I would like to find religion.
