Hopes and Dreams

As I get older and older I gain more and more hopes and dreams. I dream more and I get my hopes up each day because every day there is something new. Each day I find something different that I want to try and then later I quit. However, nothing in this world can change my hopes and dreams of going to Michigan State University and owning my own custom car shop. Since seventh grade I wanted to go to Michigan State because of their great curriculum, achievements, standards, etc. I also always wanted to be a Spartan and play for the Michigan State basketball team, but there is something else I want to do more and that is customizing cars. Customizing cars is something I find fun and interesting; I have been working on cars with my father and always enjoyed it. I think I can achieve both goals if stick to my task and stay focused. Getting excepted to Michigan State is rather easy but challenging. The reason I say it’s easy is because in my mind I know I can get into college with my grades and ACT practices, however I say it’s challenging because I’m in competition with millions of other students and the ACT is very challenging due to the practice test. As for my own car shop that is going to be a tough challenge. I will have to do different engineering classes as well as business courses so I can understand my financial awareness and the life of a car. One subject that I will have to master is Geometry in order to achieve this goal and now that I understand that I will take my geometry class more serious from now on. In all honesty getting into college is not one of my biggest worries, I feel that with my intelligence I can achieve that, but owning my own car shop will not be an easy task. I don’t want a regular corner car shop were we just do oil changes; fix tires, and change brake pads. I want a shop were we do everything from building a frame to fixing an engine and to do that it’s going to take hard work. I have researched and found information on my goal and based on what I read it is not an easy. My goal requires education, safety, specialist, and one big requirement; money! I already understand that this is going to take some time but I’m willing to take as much time needed so I can achieve my goal. I still till this hope and dream about the same two things over and over. I try to meet the standards now so as I get older it may be somewhat easier in the future. If for some reason I don’t achieve my goal for owning a car shop then I can always come back to it later on in life, and as for college; rather I want to go to college or not I’m going with the attitude I have for however many years it take to be successful.
