First of all, I want to convey a message through this short essay that no matter what happens in one’s life, people are at least passionate about something in their life. I am just trying to bring out the readers passions through this piece of writing, hopefully it will be a good read and will help people to stay focused to their goals in life and also inspire to whatever they are passionate about.
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: a connection with nature, meaningful relationships, and the search for understanding. Three passions, have carved the path I have walked and will continue to guide me on my life’s journey.
I have sought a connection with nature, first, because it brings peace – peace which reaches so deep into my soul that I am completely engulfed in a cloud of tranquility. I have sought it further for it relieves self-doubt – to be in sync with so simple, and natural an environment as nature, reinforces confidence to pursue dreams. I have sought it, finally, because in observing nature’s miracles, I have seen that miracles do exist, painting rainbows following the storm. This is what I sought, and through nature I have seen light and hope.
With equal passion I have sought meaningful relationships. I have wished to connect with loved ones throughout my life. I have wished to share experiences with family and friends that will bring us close together. So close that in losing one of them that pain is heart wrenching. It is then that I know that we have loved each other. Pieces of each our lives have become part of the other person and in losing them we have lost a part of ourselves, but that connection between us will always exist.
A search for understanding of my life fills my mind with constant questions. My purpose on this earth is a burning entity in the pit of my stomach, driving me forward, pushing me on. Guidance can only be provided by others to a certain extent before we must take over and complete our own journey. The journey I must travel I have yet to reveal, or perhaps I am already walking the path, it is my purpose, here, that sparks my fire.
This is my life. Passions are what make it worth the while, having the opportunity to relive every moment is a gift I could never refuse.
After writing this short essay, I came to conclusion that there is a lot out there to explore and experience than one can think of. Also, if someone is really passionate about something they have to work and put an effort towards their passions. As far as I am concerned, i think these little short essay writing assignments do wonders for me, because not only it brings out my personality but also teaches me as to who I am in person. I hope people like this little essay and please leave a comment on this thank you.
As the most of my peers, I have been asking myself a question, what is it really I want out of my life? This question has not only been bothering me, but also many college students who are trying to figure out the path which will lead them to their comfortable life. One might ask, what is that comfort that we all are striving for? Is it a state of mind or is it some unknown world that we are so eager to enter? Well, it varies from person to person. It depends on the life that the person has left behind when the decision to go to college was made. I for one would like to obtain a higher standard of leaving, greater education, and fulfill a long time goal of being a pharmacist.
So many years has gone by since the first day I was taken to school by my cousin brother. It was a whole new experience for me. It was as if I have seen a new world made out of so many kids that are dressed alike. Before I knew, I was taken in to a classroom along with many other kids. This was a new era in my life. As I can remember, “What do you like to be doing with your life?” was the first question I was asked. “I would like to become a Pharmacist,” I responded back. Many more years has gone by since the magic question. I have not forgotten my response to what has been bothering me for so many years. There wasn’t a day I tried to make sense out of my own response to the question that I was once asked. At the time, I did the best of my ability to work toward my Personal Goal. Now, almost thirty years later, I am still asking myself the same question. However, many different things have shaped my life during the last eight years.
I moved to the U.S.A in 2001 from India. When I got here, I didn’t know what to do. Anywhere I went people were talking in different languages. I remember the first day of high school, I had no friends, no one to talk to, and didn’t know where to go. I also didn’t know how to communicate with other people so that I could make friends. However, it was an effort to make some friends and learn English at the same time. I am thankful for my friends because they used to correct me when I mispronounced some words. Now, as a college student, I am living “two” normal lives in this country to further my goals by both working 50-60 hours a week and attending college full time. I came to college to improve my English so that I can communicate effectively and to pursue my major in pharmacy.
In the process earning a Pharmacist Degree, I had completed my High School, By this time, I was financially unstable and soon enough, I was not able to continue with my education. Therefore, I planned on returning to school when I no longer had any financial instability. It took me many months before I found a career opportunity with an employer. I now had a job that not only paid great, but also put me in to a career path that I always have admired. This was a chance of a lifetime. I now had the money and the time to follow up with my long time Goal.

To Pursue My Goals
Have you ever wondered what is going to happen in your life as a student? If you did, what is it? I wondered what would happen to my life as a student if I didn’t make it through college, especially being from a different country speaking and writing English as my second language. Every year thousands of students graduate with degrees and diplomas. During my academic years I am going through a number of hardships. I face challenges to perform academically better than my peers, financial problems and balancing studies with social lives. All these challenges to perform better in today’s world add tremendous stress to my life as a student. However, I am working hard towards my goal trying to get a degree in pharmacy, so I can have a meaningful and significant future. Yes, my goal is to be a successful pharmacist.
I moved to the U.S.A in 2001 from India. When I got here, I didn’t know what to do. Anywhere I went people were talking in different languages. I remember the first day of high school, I had no friends, no one to talk to, and didn’t know where to go. I also didn’t know how to communicate with other people so that I could make friends. However, it was an effort to make some friends and learn English at the same time. I am thankful for my friends because they used to correct me when I mispronounced some words. Now, as a college student, I am living “two” normal lives in this country to further my goals by both working 50-60 hours a week and attending college full time. I came to college to improve my English so that I can communicate effectively and to pursue my major in pharmacy.
I chose this major because of my uncle, who is a pharmacist and a successful business man in that career. He even has seven pharmacies of his own. Because of his knowledge, he has a license to open a pharmacy anywhere in the U.S.A. I have seen him take vacations two to three times a year—that’s because he is rich. One day I won’t have to worry about money and be able to visit my friends and relatives back home. Being from a middle-class family, my goals at college are to become a pharmacist and to become a wealthy man one day. The world runs on money doesn’t it? Well, that’s what I think.
To become a pharmacist I have to attend college for about five years, maybe more. Also, it depends on my ability to complete the courses and credits. The key subjects in a pharmacy major are math, chemistry, biology, and physics. To pursue my major I also need to know that I need money to attend college. Of course there is financial aid, but it can only give me so much. After all, no amount of money is enough, right? Don’t you wish you had more money to spend? Especially being an Indian, I have some responsibilities such as I am supposed to have a steady income by the age of 21 because of being from a middle-class family. I am here living a life that I dreamed of because of my parents. I know that if I were in India right now, I wouldn’t be able to support my family and go to college at the same time. First of all, my parents would have to pay a donation just to get me in a pharmacy college or university. A donation is given to the university in a form of a bribe. It’s not the tuition that you pay to attend that university. Second of all, I wouldn’t be driving a car at the age of 18 in India because being from a middle-class family. We couldn’t afford a car just for the false front of reputation for my family in the university. It’s not only about the money that I want to become a pharmacist, but also for my parents’ reputation in society. Do you think that you are at this very point in your life because of your parents? Well, I do.
This choice will help me to meet my goals in life by giving me job security, peace of mind, and income. It will also give me a chance to learn about other cultures: people, traditions, values, and their perspective on life. Following my goal, I will have some self respect that I am an educated man. I not only want to fulfill my goals, but also the goals of my parents, too, by making them proud in society by reputation and that I didn’t waste my life by not getting an education while I could. So to fulfill that goal, I have to follow the phrase that motivates me all the time, “To gain something in life, you always have to sacrifice something in life”
After writing this essay I feel that I am on a right path in succeeding my goals in life. Also, I had a hard time to put things in order because of my experiences at different stages of my life and with different people in my life. I think it was a extravagant experience to know who rally I am by writing this essay. There is more to explore to my life and lots of experience to come, nut for now I am happy that I know myself a little better and I am working towards my goals in life. This essay reminded me of my goals and what I want to be in future. Overall, a good experience and a inspiration to better my future.
My writing goals for this essay are to bring out my personality and know myself a little better as to who really am I, hopefully I will not disappoint myself and the readers. When I first sat down to write this essay I had a different idea in my mind, but as I went to type it my mind went in a different world of imagination and helped me to remember some instincts of my life and prepare me to write about them.
First of all, i am not use to be fed by someoneelse whom i do not know. It was an new experience, probably the most anticipitaed feeling of what the food is, which i am suppose to tase and write and descriptive paragraph on it.
The food that was given to me was square in shape, smelled like lemon, little sour and tangy, kind of like a sweet and sour mix. At first i started to chew it, but it was sticking to my teeth. Than i found out that it was Star Burst lemon flavour.
