My Dream, My Future

    My vision for the future entails many goals that I know I will have to work hard to achieve. I feel that the path to accomplishing my goals will be though hard work within my education.
Even numbers are hard.. It is my fashion.
My formal education is a factor that has been the basis for my success throughout primary school and high school. I believe that it will continue to be the tool that will lead me to success in the future. My first and foremost plan is to graduate from high school. I consider this to be a huge accomplishment considering that many people don't make it that far. After graduation I will be attending one of five Colleges and Universities to which I am still waiting for a reply from.
   I will attend my chosen school for the following four years. During that time I will obtain the knowledge that I will need for my future career. I hope to graduate after those four years with a bachelor's degree in business. My dream job is to become a an accountant.
   I feel that the combination of all of the opportunity in the business world, along with my interest in accounting will be the winning formula for my success. Along with using my education as a key to open the doors of success and working hard, am positive that! will be able to achieve my goals.
