Five Year Plan

I am currently attending Merced High school as a senior. As of my five year plan, I can’t

say I have it all planned out. College will not be something I will attend after high school. Why?

Because I personally believe that it is not something in my interest. My family and friends

believe that I should go because it will get me a good future or lead me in the right direction, but

I know there are more things out there I could do that will lead me to a successful future. As my

plan for after school, I will be attending this program called ​Year Up.​ This program isn’t really

college, but it helps you study for certain jobs that are at your interest. It contains 6 months of

going to this program and 6 months of this program training you to be your best. They will then

help you find the job you love due to how good you did in there program.

As a student still attending high school, it’s rare for me to not have a job. I got my first

job as a waitress at a Thai restaurant on December 28, 2018. I now have been working there for 4

months. Being a waitress as my first job, I never saw myself being that at all. I personally believe

that this job has helped me grow as a person individual. Mentally and physically my job has

helped me become more closer with others. Growing up I had a hard time socializing with

others. I was never the type to start a conversation, to greet others, or talk to anyone. Being able

to greet others and talk to them about their day helped me become more social with everyone

around me. I became such an open person within myself and I grew out of being closed out.

Becoming more connected with my family is and always will be my number 1 goal. It

has been hard for me as a kid being close with my siblings or my mom and I don’t know why

really. Growing into the person I am today, it shows that I have came a long way. I continue to

cherish every moment I have with my family because every second, minute, hour, day, and etc.
counts. I have became much more closer with my parents these past few years and it brings me

peace of mind. I’ve began to heal from the pain that this world has brought me. I can say that I

am and will forever be thankful for my family.

My personal goal when it comes to relationship and and friendship is being strong within

each other. I would want my relationship with my significant other to be strong, healthy, and

most of all REAL. Being able to grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritual with the person I love

will define the love that will carry within our family that we will create. Having a strong

friendship with someone brings peace and positivity into your life knowing you have someone to

lean on other then your family or your other half. It is good to be able to lean on someone when

your going through a lot. Those individuals can change your life around mentally and physically.

Lastly, my plan for myself in five years is to grow mentally, physically, mentally, and

spiritual. I would want to get closer with myself and just find peace. Living the life I do I can say

I still haven’t healed from the pain I have. I hope to find self love and confidence in myself. I

don’t ever want to feel like I have to depend on others to make me happy and I lack that a lot

now. I pray that one day I will become much more closer to God. He has been the number one

person keeping me up. He is there to guide me through out my trials I am going through and

making me stronger mentally and emotionally. I know soon that he will show me the life I would

be living, glory to God.
