Blog 8: Future Goals

I have many things that I want to accomplish in my near future and I have many life goals.  As I think about my future, there are so many things that I hope to accomplish.  If I look five years ahead, I hope I am doing well in college.  I want to get a Master’s degree in social work and I’m hoping to be able to complete it in five years instead of six.  I hope in five years I am in my last year of college.  I want to have studied abroad in Europe by the time I’m done with college as well.  I think that would be an amazing experience to have and it is something I have always wished to do.  I used to say that I wanted to just pick up my life and live in Europe for a year, and I think studying there would be a great way to do it.

Ten years from now I hope I have my career on its way.  Being a social worker preferably in a school is my dream job.  I want to be able to help kids every day and feel like I’m making a difference in this world.  In ten years I also hope to have a husband and maybe even a family.  I’ve always wanted children and pets when I’m older.  In ten years I will aim to have stability and a normal routine.  In ten years from now I am also looking forward to spending time with nieces and nephews that I will have.

 It is hard for me to even imagine where I will be in twenty five years.  In twenty five years from now I will be forty two years old.  I would like to have older kids and be doing well in my job.  Maybe I’ll even be sending one of my kids off to college.  It is crazy to think about all the changes that there will be in that long span of time.  Technology and everything that’s normal to me now will be completely different I’m sure.  Wherever the future takes me I will be content as long as it is spent with my friends and family.
