Personal Vision Statement
When I turn forty I hope that I will own my own place. Maybe I’ll have a two story house or at least be renting. I think that I would want to live outside of Alameda. I would be willing to commute to work as long as it wouldn’t take more than an hour to an hour and a half to get there. I’ll want to have a hybrid by then, in order to keep up with the rising gas prices. I wouldn’t mind having a flexible schedule, I would like to make my own hours and have a lot of free time to do whatever I want to do. I could spend time with my significant other if I were married or in a relationship. I don’t think that I want to have kids wearing me out all day; if anything I’d be visiting my relatives and their children if they have any.
My first step in fulfilling this twenty year dream is to go to college. I hear that its nigh impossible to obtain a job without a B.A in something. I would study my ass off in college. I would work hard for A’s in my classes so that I could be near the top ten of my class. Also, due to a little family pact, I’ll receive payment for every “A” that I receive. I would open a bank account and access this either to pay for books or other materials I might need. Over the summer I’ll try and intern at environmental engineering firms or stores to get some experience in my field of study. If I can’t find a job in that field I wouldn’t mind a job as a waiter or something, just not fast food. For the most part I’d be saving money all through college, taking public transportation instead of bothering with a car.
After college, I might move in with my parents for a few months. I’d be staying there until I find a job that could sustain me somewhere else. I might try and find a place to work out in San Francisco or Los Angeles. I might even try and move out of state. I’d try and stay near the coast line, my entire life I’ve been able to go to the beach whenever I wanted to and I want to keep it that way. I would slowly work my way up the corporate ladder, always having a few other places in mind in case I might be laid off. After a while I’ll have the choice to construct 3-d models of necessary objects at home or at the work place. If I ever feel bored and/or tired of the television, I’ll be able to clock in whenever I want and get overtime.
Of course, I have to account for the unforeseen. I'm confident that I would be able to take care of any kind of problem I would encounter. If I need to, I would alter this plan in order to achieve my goals. In reality, my goals are all in the air right now. I don't really plan so far ahead... at all actually. In short, I'm sure that I would do the things that need to be done, studying and doing homework, but in the end I'd be focusing on what's happening in my life right then and there. Where I end up may be entirely different from what's recorded in this vision statement. But I know that I will work towards what I want in life, regardless of how difficult or stressful the situation I'm in.
