My Future

“My future dreams everyone has dreams”

A person needs to achieve certain goals in one’s life before you can call them successful. Success is to achieve goals, you have set. I have set certain goals I would like to achieve in my lifetime. Some of these goals are personal while others are professional. My professional goals in life are to find a good job that makes me happy, get a good education, find a job that makes enough money for me to support my family, and help people.

It is very important for me to receive a good education. Most job fields require a descent education. If I don’t have an education I would not be able to function properly at the work place and I would not understand what to do. To maintain a good job that will make good money will require me to go thorough schooling or training and maybe even both. Education is the first and foremost way to become successful, because the job I will choose will need me go to school and maybe even beyond college.

My happiness in what I do is also a goal for me I my life. There is no way someone can become successful if they are not happy with what they are doing. If their job is going to make them miserable, they will never show 100% in their work and they will slake off. If someone did this they would probably get fired or their pay would not be very high. The job I want will be interesting to me. I will need that I love my job and I love what I am doing. I need to be putting 100% into my work.

Another professional goal of mine is for me to be making good money in my work. I am not saying that I need to be making millions but I want enough so I can help support my family. I cannot expect to have a family I cannot afford. My job will help me buy a home, pay health insurance, and other things I need for my family. My main goal in the money is to keep, my family happy. I want them to have enough but not too much. I want them to have the necessities.

I have also always wanted to help people and children. This is something that comes to me naturally. If I could find a job that can let me help people in need I can be happy. I want in a way to have a job that lets me give back to the community. I want to be the one that people come to when they are in need or in pain. I want to also work with children if they are hurt or in pain because I believe children are so innocent and I believe they should be well protected or if they are hurt, helped.

 I also have many personal goals in life. Some of my personal goals in life are to get married, and raise my own family. I believe if I achieve my professional goals they will help lead me to my personal goals.

By getting married and having a family I believe will bring joy into my life. I believe it can bring a joy that no one can know unless they experience it for themselves. My job will be there for me to help support my family, financially but I want to be able to raise them in a good neighborhood. I want to make sure my own family is happy. It is beautiful to watch your children grow up before your eyes and this is what I want. I believe, as well as most people, that you are successful in life if you have raised a family.

These are my dreams and goals for my future. Always remember that the future depends on what we do in the present. J

2015 :)

Hello 2015!

New Year means a new beginning. A new year to start a new life with the people who are with us now. Let us forget the past. The past that is full of darkness, a year that is full of challenges that challenged how strong we are.   

We should let go of all our past mistakes and forget all the negativity, a new year to focus on all the positive things, a year to create new friendships and a year to believe in ourselves. New Year, new opportunities to improve ourselves. 

                 When New Year comes, I always set New Year’s resolutions, but I always failed to achieve most. But as year passed by I have learn to follow it, and make it as my guide to do better things. I want the new me is stronger, a positive thinker, has a long patience and more friendly.  My very goal this year is to change for a better version of me. This year, I will wash away all my bad attitudes and start to improve myself and continue the good doings.

Essence of Christmas

Christmas!!! We are celebrating this day yearly,   in every 25^th of December.

It is a season of gift-giving to one another, family building and many more. This is a special day for us. For we all know that this day was the birth of our saviour   Jesus Christ. . 

Months before Christmas, we can already feel the essence of it. Everyone is very excited to decorate their houses, building or making Christmas tree. Decorating every part of the house of different Christmas decors like Christmas lights, lanterns and more. Many children are   carolling from different houses. They are very happy on doing this because they are receiving money. 

And on the day of December 16, the "Simbang Gabi" will be starting; many of the people will go to church to complete the "Simbang Gabi". Before the day of Christmas, many people are going to the supermarket to buy something for the noche buena.

"CLIMATE CHANGE"

Nowadays, we are causing the mismanagement of our natural resources.

Improper disposal of wastes, deforestation, intensive farming and the destroying of our environment  hence, climate change takes place. But we don't know that we are all given the responsibility to take care of our environment?

People can no longer use river and seas for swimming and washing. Fisherman can no longer catch fish there. Then the river turns dark and fast-smelling and dumping of chemical wastes and garbage into the rivers and seas cause sudden bloom of algae. The trees in the forest are cut down by loggers for profit. They do not properly replant and take care of the baby trees which are supposed to replace the cut trees. As trees are cut, the habitats of animals are destroyed. Many species of plants and animals die.

In order for us to live in a clean and green environment, we should practice proper waste disposal and plant young trees to replace the cutted trees for our comfort and safety during disasters.
