Physical Thing- The one object I feel empty without is my computer. I wish I had a symbolic and beautifully meaningful item to say here, but unfortunately I do not. My computer is my portal to the real world. I check my email, listen to music, see the weather, look up the news, and so much more. When I come home, the first thing I will do is hop on the computer and get my daily dose of information.
Dreams/Goals- My dream or ultimate goal is life is to have a happy family. I would say just for me to be happy, but I don't think I could do that unless I had a family. I want to graduate with honors, go to a nice university with scholarship money, and then go to a medical school. Hopefully, with the money I make and the happiness I should have at my job, I can raise a successful family.
Relationship- I can not single out one person, so I have to say my parents. They inspire me to do everything. The fact that they came to this country with only a dream after fleeing from a revolution just so I could have an opportunity to succeed is remarkably generous and unselfish of them to me. In all honesty, I'm not sure I could do the same thing. I want to reward them by easing the financial burden of college on them by getting scholarships and graduating high in my class. The reason I work hard is actually for them.
Personality- Only three words to describe me? That's tough, but I would have to say hardworking, driven, and stubborn. I wanted to pick two good ones and one not so good one in order to balance it out and not seem conceited. I want to be a good guy. Someone that is fun to be with, but serious at work, and a family man. Others believe I am smart and nerdy, but that's okay. I embrace it because by now I have been called this for at least 8 years. I am most proud of my drive and believe it has shaped me the most so far. Raw talent is great, sure, and I am certainly not saying I lack any of it, but working hard just leads to so many great things.
Memories- This one is a tough one. Memories are so often and so numerous that it is difficult to narrow them down to just a few. However, one I certainly remember is Name That Book in elementary school. In 4th grade I was captain of the Barbara Bush Elementary School Name That Book Team. I remember working every day. I remember reading all of the books. I remember winning the competition.
For me, that moment really defined what work can do. It was my first taste of what an award truly is. Actually, also literally because we went to McDonald's after the competition. However, it was a turning point in my life I believe.

Your dream of happy family, good college, and doctor is almost exactly my dream. The only thing I would like to mention is although you may be older than me, the moment it became my dream occurred before the moment it became yours, therefore making you the one who copied my idea.
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly disagree, as because I am indeed older, I believe I have seniority. Respect your elders. Thank You.
DeleteI would also describe myself as driven, I'm really ambitious and hope to achieve a lot in my future.
ReplyDeleteI totally see eye to eye with you on the importance of a good relationship with your parents. Although they have completely different viewpoints than me sometimes, it's incredible how consistently unselfish they are.
ReplyDeleteOne of my ultimate goals is to go to medical school and have a happy family. I feel that my education and future family go hand in hand to happiness.
ReplyDeleteShyon, I too dream to be a good guy. I thank you for the insight of your life. You truly are a blessed person
ReplyDeleteI too carry my parents love close to my heart. The sacrifices they have made for the well-being of not just me but for our entire family is motivation enough for me to work even harder. One day I'd love nothing more than to ease them of there burdens. The reasons for who I am today is because of the faith and support that they have provided me with since day one.
ReplyDeleteI like your dream to have a good family. That is becoming undervalued in society, and im glad there are still people that hold that value high.
