My Goals and Ambitions
mounted to nothing. I was practically semi-retired by the
age of 30. I became a landlord and lived off my rental
property’s income. I had it all, but in reality, I was missing
everything that was really important in life, like real
happiness and real love, something that material things
could not give to a human being. I have to say that it was a
blessing losing everything after the economy went sour. My
houses, cars, a hefty bank account were all gone. I was
homeless without a dime to my name and riding on bicycle.
For anybody else it would it be a loss, a tragedy, but for me,
it was a new beginning. It took away all the things that
blinded me and drowned my heart. It forced me to look
deep in my soul and find the real me and the things that
were missing in my life. So I have found myself and have
learned about what is really important in life. I have
changed. I have changed dramatically and so have my goals
and ambitions. I’m going back to the basics.
My first short term goal is to get my GED. I am blessed
to be in school with the teachers at Dunbar Community
School. They are wonderful people. They give me help,
hope and encouragement me to keep going. I thank the Lord
for putting me here. He is always in control and knows what
is best for His children. As long as I persevere in my studies
and keep my eyes on the prize, I will reach my goals. I’m
working hard for a good foundation, especially in Language
Arts. I need to master this subject to be able to achieve the
biggest goals of my life. My second goal is go to college.
So I can become a counselor and help others to find there
right path. To become a writer is my third and greatest
ambition. I want to be able to touch people’s heart, open
their eyes through my writing, and bring hope to a world in
need.
Love and compassion are my motives. I can really say
that this time around, I am obsessed with loving others.
What good is it for a man to gain the whole world and lose
his soul and to never have truly loved. Now in my early
forties, I will be working in the field as a caregiver serving
others. The saying is true, “It is better to give than to
