High School:
Maintain a 4.0 GPA
Get higher ACT and SAT scores
Get into CBYX Program
Find a way to get into an out-of-state college without having crushing debt
College:
Major in an area where I actually enjoy going to the classes
Keep traveling frequently
Find a job that will provide money to live on but not overwhelm in concurrence with my classes
Earn masters right away
Life:
Go to Cuba (ideally with my dad as a guide)
Build a career in business--hopefully in an area like sports or cars
Learn to fly an airplane
Attend a World Cup
Make enough money to travel
The most important thing for me to do before I finish high school, which will be very soon, is to be well prepared for the rest of my life. I’d like to be accepted into a college of my choosing and to do so without bankrupting my parents or taking on huge amounts of debt. Of course, achieving this can’t be done without working hard to do everything else on the list, but because it is the final objective it is most important.
College-wise, I don’t have many expectations or desires besides just wanting the experience to be as useful as is advertised. But, it is crucial to me that I actually enjoy what I study, so that I don’t dread getting up early to go to class or spending time studying.
Life goals are much harder to define and they don’t have a known expiration date. It is hard to choose one, and it would make sense to say that making money is most important, but dear god if I never go to Cuba it will be my life’s greatest tragedy. My father was born there, so half my family is Cuban, he has the means to go, and it was getting increasingly easy to go up until a couple years ago. It is a little ridiculous that I haven’t already gone. I intend to meet my other half before I die.
