Perhaps being at the brink of losing everything close and dear to me woke me up. I always thought that the purpose to life was the pursuit of happiness and that happiness was attained through fulfilling my many needs and wants. The only thought in my head use to be “me” and only “me” but that changed when everything started slipping away. Striving to preserve everything the way it was could have possibly been the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. The fright of once again losing it all altered me. I realized that there was another path, another road to happiness; it was a “kill three birds with one stone” method. If I dedicated myself to providing happiness to others I not only make other people’s lives simpler but my life more worthwhile and at the same time keep all of those who are close to me. My main concerns since then has been family and friends but family first since they have been the biggest factor of love and support.
My expectations as a college student is simple: to educate myself for future purposes. The main objective of a student in any school is to learn and hopefully make as much out of the experience as possible. My hopes for college is to learn and understand how to tackle the real world when college is over so my concern would then be that I would not grow enough to be able to survive in the world outside of college.
