I will develop my life and career choices by following the steps needed for my dream job. Firstly, I will keep my grades up to get into a good university where I will complete a program that will take me closer to my future career. To do that I will take out a student loan from the government to pay for the program. Nextly, after graduation from the program I will apply to a medical school. I will have to save money to pay back the loan that I took out. I will also take out a student loan from the government for me to pay for medical school. Next, after I graduate from medical school and earn my degree I will start my residency training as well as get a part-time job to continue saving money to pay back the debt. Lastly, after residency I will start working full-time as a doctor.

I value family. Family is the root of my life because they have made me the person I am today. My parents have always taught me to be respectful, polite and kind to everyone that I meet. Whenever I meet someone I reflect those values I was taught and therefore also reflect my family because they invested a lot in making me the kind, polite,respectful global citizen I am.

I value my faith. My faith is the foundation of my self-identity. It sets the standards of the values I have and the way that I behave. My faith influences a lot of the places I go and things I do, for example I chose to attend a catholic school. This shows how my faith influenced the type of school I joined.

My family is an important figure in my life and is a top value I have. My parents and their advice have impacted my life in a lot of ways. When I follow and practice the virtues they teach me, I reflect them. An example in my personal life when I showed these values was once when me and my siblings went for a medical checkup. My doctor was surprised at how well-mannered and respectful we were that she complimented my parents.

The decisions I make fall in line with my faith values. For example, when picking a high school my parents decided to take me to a catholic high school because it aligned with myself-identity, beliefs and values.

For example, the choices I make can influence my education and opportunities. I try to maintain a positive personal brand with what I post online, the amount of presence online, making small talks about my career choices and maintaining good work habits in school today because I am convinced those things will promote me. 

External locus of control. Also, I am motivated by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. I am driven by my passions as well as external factors like parental expectations

As an example when I am faced with tough moments I make goals and constantly revisit them to ensure I am reaching them. One time in middle school I was really struggling with my lessons. I was not doing well in a lot of them. However, I was hopeful because I knew that ifI changed my work habits I could change my grades as well. The following school year I made a goal to reach the standards I wanted. Throughout the year I constantly re-visited my goal to ensure I had reached them. At the end of the year I was on the honour roll. Because I believed I could change my grades with the simple decisions I made around my work habits I was motivated to succeed in my goals. 

Parental Expectations → My parents have high expectations for me because they have invested countless time and resources to get me in the state I am today. Making my parents proud will timeless be a goal for me because I know that I will have the support I need along the way and I have been equipped with all that I need. These expectations motivate me to work hard and put in my best effort in all that I do. 

Opportunities – Canada is a great country that offers countless opportunities. I know that a lot of other countries do not have the opportunities that I have today. This realisation motivates me to work hard and efficiently make use of the opportunities I am given. I believe that using my opportunities well could allow me to motivate others to use any opportunity they have. 

While it's not true that young people cannot make a difference, my age limits the things I can do

However there are some things I can do 

Short term contribution:

Start a campaign at my school promoting justice and diversity. 

Put up posters promoting justice and diversity within the community

Start a club that embraces a variety of ethnicities

Make some noise during months like Asian heritage month to raise awareness about the immense beauty of their heritage and culture

Show people the good sides of different cultures i.e culinary cooking

Joining clubs that actively supports diversity 

Write emails to my MP and let them know that social injustice is an issue we care about

Start a petition and get as many signatures as I can. This will influence the government because they know the citizens prioritise this issue.

Long term

Vote for a political party that makes it a priority to embrace diversity. The Politician that reflects this is Justin Trudeau. His cabinet in 2015 alone shone acceptance and diversity in Canada. Voting for a leader that is pro-diversity will let people in Canada, people thinking of moving to Canada and people around the world know that Canada is a diverse nation. When speaking publicly once Justin Trudeau said diversity is “the air we breathe”.With this awareness, hopefully, the world will familiarise themselves with treating all with justice and integrity.
