This essay talks about my goal. My goal has been the same for years, and will be the same for a very long time. It is to be the best person I can be, work hard in school, and make lots of friends.
To be the best person I can be isn't very hard. I follow my heart about 99% of the time. I try to be really polite to other people, and use body language, like smiles, to show that I care. My role models are my parents, who helped me find my goal. They raised me really well, and were always there for me, even when I didn't need them.
I'm the kind of person that doesn't care what other people think about me. If someone is mean to me, I try to ignore them and get on with my life. That is a big part of my goal. There are always going to be people out there that are mean. I just like to think that they were raised in a bad life and let too many things get to them. I don't want that to happen to me.
Another part of my goal is to work hard in school. I try very hard to manage a 4.0 GPA. There are alot of kids out there who don't care about school. It's very important. My goal is to just do my best. I try not to let a bad grade put me down. I just push harder next time, and it makes me happy to know that I did the best that I could.
The final part of my goal is to make as many friends as I can. It feels really good when a friend calls me, because I know that they're taking their time to talk to me.
I'm starting to accomplish a part of my goal that's really special. I'm making friends with people that don't have any and that need someone to trust and spend time with. I think that the less popular kids are the nicest, so I really try to be their friend.
My goal is probably alot more complex than most people's. But, it's a very special part of my life. It's not the kind of goal that you have to really work hard for to accomplish. It's the kind that just takes a little thought and a lot of heart. |
