Having goals is essential to accomplishing dreams. Goals are like small stepping stones that slowly merge to develop a path that will get you to your dreams; every time you reach a specific goal, the distance to achieve your dream is cut shorter and shorter. My dream is to attend a four-year university and graduate as a mechanical engineer. In order to achieve my dream and fulfill my potential, I had to establish goals that would guide me, in the words of DJ Khaled, onto the path of success. In order to achieve my dream of attending a four-year university and becoming a mechanical engineer, I know that I have to be as competitive as possible; my goal is to have the best grades possible, which would in turn allow me to be valedictorian of the class of 2017; by doing so, I would be able to reassure universities that I was indeed the best candidate for their school.
If it wasn’t for the wonderful staff at EPAPA, I don’t think that I would be on the right path to achieving my goal of becoming Valedictorian of the Class of 2017. EPAPA has really helped me grow in every aspect that defines who I am. To begin with, EPAPA’s small student population allows teachers and students to build relationships that will last beyond college. Through these relationships, students are able to develop a plan of action that will allow them to reach their goals. In my case, my advisor has been my go-to person whenever I need help. My advisor has helped me get through it all; whether it is giving me personal life advice, helping me with school problems, or just simply hearing me rant about things that are on my mind, my advisor has always been there for me since day one.
Apart from “supplying” me with a go-to person, EPAPA has also helped me develop a better understanding of the world. I still remember the first day when I walked into Social Justice class. I was not sure what to expect; as a matter of fact, I was not even 100% sure what the words “social justice” meant. Little did I know, I was getting into a class that would change the way I would view the world. Social justice enabled me to see the flaws in the world and society that many fail to notice. Through these new lenses, my knowledge and perspective on things changed, which in return enabled me to become more conscious about the things I see in the world.
It has been an honor to have been apart of the EPAPA family for the past 2 and a half years and I cannot wait to see what’s in store for me next year as a senior.
