The Life Ahead Of Me
I am always preparing for the next stages in my life, and forever preparing for the changes they will bring. Maturing into a young lady is where I am at now, and I have been preparing for this since my birth 16 years ago. I have prepared by maintaining my education, developing my character, and learning about myself and the world. I hope to eventually surpass a young lady into an adult mother and even an elderly grandmother. Many of the preparing techniques will be the same in these advanced stages of my life, but my understanding of who I am and why I am here will change.
My family, friends, and teachers have all helped me to prepare to be the teenage young lady I am. They have been with me through every experience in my young life, from death of loved ones to birth of new family and friends. They have taught me the basic fundamentals to succeeding in today’s society, the skills I learn as a toddler and child, like sharing, telling the truth and sticking up for what I believe is right. They have also begun to help me find more in-depth talents and unique gifts I possess like my character as a leader and my compassion. These skills and personal assets I have developed have been taught to me by those who surround me, but also found within myself, in my character. I have had to look deep within myself to fully understand why I am on this Earth and what I am meant to do. Without my friends and family, I would not be half the young lady I am today, but I know better than to depend on them for everything, I am my own young lady.
I am working on becoming more of an adult woman today through developing the unique gifts and talents I have been blessed with. I want to become a more well-rounded lady with a strong presence in the workforce as well as maintaining a loving home and family. Today I am working towards the development of an education to fulfill my dreams as a successful and self-sufficient woman. I want to be able to earn the respect of every man, woman, and peer alike in my profession. My leadership and intellectual talents will help me to reach this goal. They will also prevent me from lowering my standards on any goals in hard times. My compassion and strong belief in family and church will also be developed as I age. These beliefs will help me evolve into the loving mother, wife, and grandmother I want to be. These stages are all a fair way down the road for me, but I want nothing more in life than for my gifts and talents to shape a successful and satisfying career.
I will develop skills and assets as I mature, and I will do everything in my power to make a difference in the world I live in. I don’t only want for my life to turn out like I wish, but my wish is for there to be peace and love and understanding around the world. Volunteering and leading others in just my own town can make a difference, volunteering to help at school and family functions, younger kids see me helping and want to help when they get older. At leadership conferences I have been taught myself, and had others for me to look up to, and to help those younger than me. Peace in countries like Afghanistan or Iraq are in turmoil at the moment, and there are soldiers from my home province dying and giving their lives to help others, and I want to be that influencial in the world. I may be too scared to ever go to war, but I may be able to help as a doctor or nurse in any field, to sae the lives of my home province soldiers.The world will continue to turn, and my life won’t stop going with it, but if I can change another’s life as mine moves on, I will feel like I have really accomplished something that helped make the world a better place.
I am very proud of my position in life as this developing young woman. I have set goals in my mind that I am well on my way to meeting, such as graduating honors student and traveling the world. I am becoming the young lady my family is proud of and most importantly, the young lady I am proud of. I know I am on the right path to success and happiness because I am happy with who I am now, and who I will be 20, 30, even 40 years down this road. I am thankful for the friends, family, teachers, and co-workers who have coaxed me onto this path and wouldn’t let me veer too far off. My dreams are not too far from coming true, and the fairy tale “Happily Ever After” is well on its way.

Setting goals and making decisions now are all important to having the perfect life in the future. I know that it is hard for me to stay on the beaten path. So I give you credit for doing everything in your power to reach those goals.
I know and have seen the success you have made as a young woman. You know how to set out your goals and make the most out of life. Many responsible choices need to be made to have a promising future and you have the potential to make those good decision and have a great future.
The people that surround us do affect who we become. By visualizing who you want to be, you are more likely to attain your goals. In high school I also struggle with being different but true to who I am, but don’t give up. Your family support will guide you through the tough decisions in life.
You are very proud women, which is a great thing. Making the decisions to reach that you want to be is like meeting destination point. Being different is about being yourself because we all are unique when we are ourselves
You will be very successful if you keep this up. Though the path of time is unpredictable it is what you choose to do that leads you on. You understand this and expresses it in your actions and decisions. Good job.
