Go For It
The best word to describe me would be “ambitious”. To me,
ambition is not just wanting to have a successful career or make a lot of
money. An ambitious person does not settle for the bare minimum, and neither do
I. I aim to extract the most I can out of life, whether it is a small project
or deciding on a career. I do not take the easy way out because I know the
payoff of hard work and dedication. I want to make an impact with my life and
give it meaning in the things I achieve. I love challenges because they make me
better. I work best when something is at stake so I go after the things I want,
even though I may not get them. Throughout high school, I knew I wanted to be
first in my class so I put in the hard work needed to achieve my goal. When I
started applying for colleges, I applied for my dream schools knowing I could
not get into them if I never tried. I never want to settle in life. I could be
perfectly happy living in my hometown my whole life, but if I have the
opportunity to explore the world and make a better life for myself, I’m going
to take it. I have the ambition to be successful in life, whether it be in my
career or the things I am passionate about.

I like the idea that you don’t settle for the bare minimum and getting the most out of life. I like the idea that you’re also humble and at the same time if you get the chance to change it you’ll take that chance. I know you’ll get into your dream schools since you’ve worked hard in all your college classes and taking extra lessons to get a good grade in them. It’s a good idea to do things by not taking the easy route because being a doctor is going to require a lot of time and little time for slacking. I believe you chose the right word to describe yourself because it’s a good word and you were able to give details why you chose that word. Great job I hope you reach your goal in life Laura!
ReplyDeleteYou are a very ambitious person, in which i can tell during school because you have always tried to be the best along with trying to be the first. Which as far as I know you have completed, and i congradulate you on it because it's hard to make it anywhere in life or in school, whenver you dont set the right goals for yourself. I can see that you have plenty of goals set for yourself that will help you out later on in life. Some of those goals might even help you now, depending on how you do them. It's always good to see it when someone like you has got alot of goals set for themselves. :)
ReplyDeleteAmbition is something that is very important in life. If you have a lot of ambition you will make it far in life. Excepting the bare minimum will lead you to a life of struggles and money problems and that fact that you are not okay with it, is a great thing. I have always wanted to try to be the first in my class, but my freshman year at Monett messed that up for me. I am still trying to get into top 10 though.
