To change the world one step at a time

Goal

2018-09-13 15:36:15 UTC

I’m here for a goal. That goal is to achieve the better standards as myself. It is not Failure I choose as an option. No! I choose to succeed. Because when you succeed, you achieve with that success. Once succeeded, I’m going to conquer this work full of business, because that’s all the world ever cares about apparently. Why do you think we have an economy??? Exactly! Boom! I’m doing this for Jesus, and I know my boy is up there smiling at my greatness. I’m here to serve The Lord as wel, and may he have mercy on my soul for what I do in this world. I belong here, we belong here, and you belong here. That defines my “Why”

Serve the underserved communities, make a change, family and loved ones

Still don’t know my why 😢

Why

2018-09-13 15:51:08 UTC

To contribute and help my peers and get more acquainted with the school and staff.

Passion

2018-09-13 15:51:23 UTC

2018-09-13 16:51:48 UTC

I do it because I need to feel like I have a purpose in this world. Because right now I don’t.

Dream

2018-09-27 05:25:03 UTC

I am here because I want to make my dream of being a pediatrician come true. Would like to make my family proud by achieving my goals.

Family

2018-10-02 19:42:50 UTC

Family is my why because they have done so much for me my whole life. It is only right for me to be successful and try to repay them for everything they have done for me. I owe it to them for all what I have today and I want to make it to them.
-Michael Dominguez

Family

2018-10-02 19:45:42 UTC

Family is my why because I have a couple of family members who never went to college and don’t do much with their lives. I want to show my parents that I won’t take the same path as them and also show my siblings that anything is possible

E.C

2018-10-02 19:45:53 UTC

Education!

Education is my why because with better education you will do better in life and possibly win good money. I am doing this for my future.

Experience

2018-10-02 19:46:00 UTC

I enjoy living life, relaxing, and taking in every adventure along the way. I typically try to get my work done ASAP so that I don’t wait till last minute to do it.

Why

2018-10-02 19:46:53 UTC

I believe I have more opportunities with a degree rather than without one.

Family

2018-10-02 19:46:59 UTC

My family is my “why” because they have always been so supportive. I would love to make them proud and set a great example for my siblings.

The Future I Envision

2018-10-02 19:47:31 UTC

I want to have a job I love, my own family, be able to provide for my family, have a giant house and finally be truly happy.

a.c.

Family

2018-10-02 19:47:40 UTC

Family is my why because my parents have sacrificed so much in order to immigrate to America. They provided the best lives for my sisters and I. My parents struggled with the language barrier as well as financial instability. My sisters and parents are the greatest support system I could ask for. I work hard for them.

Family, Money, & Passion

2018-10-02 19:49:13 UTC

Family is my why because they have always been extremely supportive and he’ll me achieve my goals.

Money is also my why because i want to become finically stable

Passion is my last why because I want to find a career that I love

Curiosity

2018-10-02 19:52:06 UTC

Everything that I have done I have done because I wondered "how?" "How do people construct beautiful scenes and great animations with just a computed?" I ended up teaching myself 3d modeling. "How do I make my family's life easier?" I end up teaching myself cooking, cleaning, and caring for my grandma so my parent's have less to worry about. If I wonder how something is done, I am compelled to find out and do it myself.

Money & Dreams & Family📒🖊

2018-10-02 19:53:09 UTC

As a child I was not as fortunate and I felt as if I needed to overcome that barrier. My goal is to push forward no matter how rigorous a course is. I want to live a lifestyle where I don’t have have to worry about tomorrow, I want to accomplish my dreams, which will fulfill my heart with joy and having made my parents proud. Although I will appear to be successful I will never be satisfied. Thankyou and have an amazing day💯

My Future Career

2019-08-15 17:29:06 UTC

I wanted to make something of myself and give my children a secure future

To love life

2019-08-15 17:29:13 UTC

I came for myself to develop more qualities, and skills to benefit me for the future. The main reason is to be able to provide for myself and my family comfortably. A plus is to make my mother proud.

To explore and see what I want to do.

2019-08-15 17:29:22 UTC

Why?
Growing up, i didn’t have or get a lot of things other kids did and my dad was supporting our family while our mom took care of us. We weren’t stable in money and that’s why I wanna make my future better for me and my family, so they don’t go through the same things I did.
