My Blog Idea

Now that we're all sophomores in high school we have to start thinking about our future, whether we like it or not. Most of us are 16 years old or will be turning 16 this year and have made many great accomplishments throughout these years. For this blog describe what you hope to accomplish in these next 16 years of your life. Where do you see yourself in the future?  Will you go to college? Will you get a job, get married or have kids? Where do you think your life will take you?

My example: With all the hard work and effort I put into school to get good grades, and also playing competitively in soccer, I would hope to have accomplished a great number of things in the next 16 years of my life. I will have gone to at least four years of college, maybe more, depending on what I study in college and what is required for my profession. Right now I am looking into studying communications in college but that could change. I believe I will be able to get into a prestigious college if I continue to keep my grades where they are. I also hope to continue my soccer career through college. I play on a highly competitive team that is ranked 4^th in the state. I don’t want to base my college decision on soccer but I will use soccer to help me get into certain schools that may be very hard to get into academically. After college I would definitely be looking to get started in my career, maybe an internship somewhere and gradually work my way up from there. I hope I can move out of my house and be independent. With a few years of working I think I could earn a salary that would allow me to pay for my own living conditions instead of relying on my parents. Once I get comfortable with my job I think I can become very successful if I work as hard as I do now. I see myself getting married and starting to raise a family 16 years from now. Before I do that, though, I would love to travel around the world. Seeing Europe, South America and Australia would be an incredible experience. If my life turned out exactly like this I would have almost nothing to complain about when I’m 32, but along the way I know many things will change. I hope to be a successful and accomplished person but this is only the beginning and I have a long way to go.
