Transitioning from childhood to adulthood is one of the best and worst transitions of life. The ability of being able to make your own decisions and taking care of yourself creates a thrill but also a sense of fear. I grew up, though, and understood that being an adult isn’t all fun and games. The responsibility, stress, and independence hit me like a freight train during my senior year. However, I’m learning how to manage my time, deal with stress in productive ways, and responsibility with a positive outlook became of utmost importance to…
If one is responsible in their personal life one will be responsible in their college life. “When applied to education, personal responsibility means that students accept the responsibility to study hard and to learn as much as they can in courses that press against the limits of their capacity” (Haskins 2009). Being responsible is something one has to do in their everyday life…
I am not exactly sure what my future path is, but my hope for my life is to be truly successful at whatever I choose to do. I am confident that if I set my mind to it, and put in the time, I can become that…
The moment you are born your future is basically laid ahead of you; your intelligence, physical capabilites, diseases or conditions you will get and when you will die.…

Wayne Cordeiro puts it “You are one attitude away from a great life” The life that we live today is because of the life we have lived yesterday, together with all the right and wrong decisions made. If we choose to live a successful future life, we ought to carefully make the right decisions now. More so, look for something to improve in ourselves. Develop what needs to be developed in us. If we all ought to increase even just 1 percent of daily improvement, we will soon find out that at the end of the year, we have become 300 percent better than the previous year.…
My future plans were very vague until I had the opportunity to work as an Instructional Assistant at a high school. I have been introduced to a great number of wonderful people whose passion is to teach. They have motivated and inspired me to continue with my education, to focus on my future plans and also taught me that learning is not just for young kids but also for people like me who once started college and for certain reasons could not finish it, therefore, inspiring me to set up new short and long term goals in my life. Now more than ever, the world is connected in various ways, there are more resources and advanced technology that can be used to build an educational plan that will help me to achieve my goals.…
As I once read, “The future doesn’t just drop into our laps…you get the future you…
As you grow older the challenges of life become more significant, and form the path to your future. Some of the smallest decisions made can completely change the future that you hold. Adulthood requires more responsibility for your actions, and more pressure to do the right thing. As adults we must carry the conscience to make responsible decisions, even though that is not always the easy thing to do.…
"You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands: your own."…
This chapter tends to be full of difficult choices, new surroundings, and plenty of self-reliance. About a year and a half ago, I learned the true meaning of relying on yourself. My mom unexpectedly ended up in the hospital for several days and my younger sister and I were left alone. During that period of time, we were forced to cook our own meals, do our chores without being asked, and comfort each other when we were feeling stressed or sad. It was very difficult dealing with schoolwork, worrying about our mom, and taking care of our home all on our own. But learning to depend on ourselves is a large part of preparing for the future and my sister and I learned that early in life. Gaining an understanding of these lessons was another target I hoped to accomplish before completing high school and I did. Not learning this principle causes people to be less productive and to become oblivious to the value of work. Knowledge, self-discipline and an increased amount of self-worth can be received if you learn to become…
Future is a mystery, is like a baby that is still in her/his mother belly, you know is there but you don't know how he/she looks like.…
Even though I am responsible right now, we learn this over our lifetime. We will always have responsibilities throughout life no matter what age we are. Our responsibilities change with our age and moving up in life. We always are liable for something if it is picking your toys up off the floor, paying your bills, going to school, or working the rest of your life. I am a ambitious person, I want to be independent. I do not like asking for help or getting help, because I am independent. In order to be independent you have to carry on a lot of…
The future is a verb tense that describes something that has yet to happen, or is to be done in the future. It is used to express something that at some time may exist, but now in the present time does not exist. Nothing in the future is for certain, no one knows what will happen in the future, it has not yet been recorded. It is dark like a cave; you cannot shed light on the future until it is in the present, because it is opaque. It is empty, open for new possibilities. Everything in the future is a variable; it can be affected by the present. The future is our unwritten story, it has yet to become.…
You expect the best in the future, and you work to achieve it. You believe that the future is something that you can control.…
