Goal Setting & Growth:

At this current point in time, what specific goal(s) do you have for yourself? Why?

At this point in time, a goal I have set for myself is that I want to just be able to finish all my college applications for myself and also I want to actually get accepted into those colleges.  Have these goals for myself because I want to be able to do a job that I actually find fun interesting. The Major I want to do in a College is Aerospace Engineering because I get to design rockets and equipment that goes into space and I want to be able to be a part of that. Another short-term goal I have is to just finish this week off and be able to go to bed on Saturday without having to worry about anything. I have this goal because it shouldn’t be a very hard goal to get to and having easy goals in life lets you live a little lighter rather than having everything weighing down on you at once.

How do you demonstrate resilience towards achieving this goal? (or these goals?)

I demonstrate resilience towards these goals by always trying to keep going towards them. For example, I have been taking mostly Physics classes since I got here at Staten Island Technical Highschool and I have kept up with them because I am passionate about wanting to design and build my own devices that go up to space, I’m passionate about helping us get to Mars, and I’m passionate about what I want to do with my life. I am demonstrating resilience right now to finish the week because I haven’t given up yet and burned out I have kept going even though I have so much to do for all my college applications.

How does the world around you affect your perception of this goal? (or these goals?)

The World around me affects my perception of this goal by everyone around me already having pretty much everything done already while I still have stuff that I need to complete. It puts me into a panicked state of mind but I know that as long as I keep on doing everything that I need to do I will finish the week, I will get accepted into a college with my Major, I will become an Aerospace Engineer. But the world around me also shows something else that I can do whatever I want and I can change the world to make it how I want it. I can get us to the moon, I can make a Rocket out of cardboard, I can do whatever I want. I see the world as malleable to be crafted into something I want to see it as.
