Growing up I had a lot of visions in life. Looking back now I’d say it wasn’t that serious. A lot of it was just a dream for the most part but back then it’s what I had really wanted at the time. But I realize now that without action this vision cannot be completed. To play in the NBA, requires a lot of dedication, it’s what I wanted when I was young, but sadly just a dream. My parents always wanted me to be a doctor but I was just about confused all the way straight through senior year of high school. I didn’t know what I wanted, but I wanted to enter the world of business. Therefore I ended up at Baruch College.
I have always had a strong interest in math. I decided to look into the field of actuarial sciences and I am pretty set on making this my career. I hope to pursue a career as an actuary. A vision I have is two have completed the first couple actuarial exams before I graduate and land a job at an insurance company. I will need to study extensively to achieve this.
Another vision I have is being financial stable by the time I get married. I want to be able to support my wife and any kids I shall I have. I want my family to live a comfortable life. I would also like my parents to retire so I can provide for them as well and have them live comfortably as well. To achieve this I will dedicate a lot of time into my career.
A third vision I have is to give back to my community. I want to help others through services I can provide through a non-profit organization. Getting one started would be a great feeling for me. To achieve this I would like to be in the in the later years of my career. This would be a change and a different path in my career so I experience new things.
Many people have similar visions such as, to get higher education, find a good paying job, and settle down. But I find you are a little different because you thought of giving back something to your parents and the community while you are listing your goals. It seemed others people will benefit if you achieved your goals.Therefore, I wish your dreams come true!
ReplyDeleteI think that it's great that you want to set up your own non-profit organization. I know a few friends who have done the same and they feel it is such a rewarding experience to know the are doing some good in the world and not just being part of the business world. I also am part of a non-profit organization and to just do the work because I genuinely want to and care about it is quite amazing. I wish you the best of luck and hope to hear about your non-profit in the future.
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely pursue your interest in math since your other goals hinge on your ability to make money. I'm sure you'll do well since you're so passionate about it. And don't let those tests stress you out too much(my sister literally stayed home for half a year to study for her pharmacist license. She was so stressed and cranky after a few months so remember to take breaks, even if they're very short ones!). I have never enjoyed math but I'm glad you do and I wish you luck in your actuarial science career.
ReplyDeleteThose sound like reasonable visions and I think you can achieve them. Even your basketball dream if you want. One thing I have learned is that you shouldn't let anyone tell you that your dreams are within your reach. Do you think that you will go back to the dream your parents told you to stray from?

ReplyDeleteNot many people have such an interest in math these days, so I think it's cool that you're certain that you want to go down that road and become an actuary. I also think it's really nice you want to give back to your community, and that you want provide for your parents after they retire. If you have enough motivation and determination, you'll definitely pass the actuarial exams and get a stable, well paying job. I wish you all the best with your goals, and hope that you'll have the life you've envisioned =)
ReplyDeleteGiving back to your community through non-for-profit organization is a great vision! I just recently took theatre management class and we learned a lot about non-for-profit theatrical organizations and how they serve the communities. So here is an idea for your organization =)
