Where do I see myself in the future? A question I’ve been asked a million times by the adults in my life yet I still find it hard to answer. I want so much for myself and always set my goals high. I like to believe that I have a well thought out plan of what I want to get done by certain points of my life, however life throws many curveballs and you never know what could happen. If life decides not to put a wretch in my plans this is where I see myself. 

In a year from now I will be a sophomore in college, by this point I will be starting my first nursing clinical a moment i’ve been waiting for my whole life. I want to get the most out of this experience and learn useful skills. In two years from now I will be in my junior year of college engaging in multiple clinicals and classes. Hopefully I will still be living in the town house I rented my sophomore year with my nursing friends. In three years from now I will be a senior preparing to graduate with a BSN in nursing. This will be a very exciting moment as I step into the real world and get a real job. 

After settling in at my new job at Sloan Kettering in New York City I will begin to work with patients and make a living. I hope to get married by 26 or 27, move out of my parents home and adopt a puppy. Me and my husband will have 3 children, first a boy then a girl and finally another boy. We will raise our children, send them off to college then move to North Carolina. We will grow old together, I will pass away first because I’m stubborn and refuse to live without my husband. At my funeral my friends from college and the hospital, my family and my husband will talk about all the memories and laughs we’ve shared. They however won’t be sad because they will know I did everything I wanted in life because they’ll look back at this paper I wrote in English110 for Mr. Freeman and see that I accomplished all that I wanted.
