Summer May Be Close, But The Future Is Closer
Lawyers

I can write about this all the time because every day is a different day and every day you continue to strive for the goals you want to accomplish in the future. My future means a lot to me now that I have finished my freshman year of college. It is important now because the future is so much closer than it appears and will determine my next chapter in my life and also because my goals can and will make a difference in the world. My future also means I must make money so I can have a happy life providing for my family.

As my freshman year comes to an end and I start looking for summer courses to take, I've taken a look back and realized how far I've come. My decision to come back home and do my two years here at County College was not easy, but it was worth it. My goal is to become a lawyer; a successful one as well. I took two Criminal Justice classes and passed them both. Worked hard no matter how hard it was. To move on to the next level in my studies, I have to keep going and learning about the laws of the world, taking notes and everyday life to use that in my strategy in succeeding with getting my client out of trouble.

No matter how hard it gets, never give up on school. People always remind the college kids how it is easier to stay in school than drop out one day then try and go back. With that in my for my next chapter of my life, I must continue to go to college to become a lawyer. I said before and I’ll say it again, I want to be a lawyer because I want to challenge other people into reasons why I am right and why I strongly believe my clients should be set free and not be locked up in jail. That is where my future determines how I can be successful throughout my career choose. Everyone should be treated the same and have equal rights no matter the race or gender. I can be the one who makes that change if no one else steps up and makes it.

The final message is about, making good money for my family. In order to make a good living for your family. You must finish college and have a good job to be able to support them with a good home to sleep in and good education for themselves. Without all that you will be struggling for managing them getting them on the right path and keeping yourself up to date with it all. My future will help my kids move on to their future and help them be successful for their family and next generation. That is the third reason I can make a difference.

My future means a lot and is very important to my family and I. Those three reasons are something to keep you focused on the prize. Keeping God and having him be the head of your life will always get you where you need to go. So as the summer starts and everyone is having fun and you are working. Remember too much fun can cause you to have different views and no go back to school or even go if you are just getting out of high school. Remember the job you have now, is that really what you want to do a full-time job without an education. That is why I believe my future is bright because I have too much to gain and I will keep working hard until I can say I made it!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
