I am the exception in my family everyone
besides my brother and I is either
studying to become or has already become
a lawyer but that’s not really want I
want to do in life ever since I was
about the age of four I realized that my
true passion is teaching and my parents
know that I’m not really on the path to
law school and even though my parents
and my cousins and my aunts and uncles
are all becoming lawyers they all have a
completely different career paths that
have left that had led them two
completely different lives we all
designed our own lives and you can too
expanding horizons is important and can
lead you to be doing really interesting
things so members of my family have
taken on this new path of different
careers and the United States did
something similar to that as well let’s
take a step back and go into a brief
history lesson in colonial America most
people in fact 90% of people were
farmers they would wake up go to work in
the field come home and then basically
go to bed but then in the middle 18th
century the Industrial Revolution took
place and at this time people were
making the switch to different methods
of mechanization and manufacturing and
they realized that they could do things
other than work in the field because
they it was already taken care of with
people who are already doing it and now
even better different means of
manufacturing but we see this in the
modern world as well let’s take a look
at a famous example and go to Steve Jobs
his parents were in the Coast Guard and
they were activists but he didn’t really
want to do that so he created the iPhone
which is something that we all know and
love today so we should be
courage to be like Steve and we should
be encouraged to expand our own what we
think we could do and what’s already
existing and create things that can
really change the world many people have
exercised the concept of a bubble of
normality now what I mean by that is
when you have this little bubble you
have one career that sort of everyone
was doing in my case that example was
being a lawyer but I took a step back
and said I really want to do that what
do I like doing I like helping people
more so I realized that I really like
helping children which I have learned
through various community service and
job opportunities when I realized that I
didn’t want to do that
I had the puzzle together of creating my
own life I realized that it didn’t
really look like my brother or my mom or
really anyone in my family but that was
okay because it was something that was
pure to me I was lucky enough to have
the support from my parent because they
knew that it was something that in a way
I was destined to do my whole entire
life so create your own puzzle and
design your own life it might not look
like other people’s but like I said
that’s okay because it’s something
that’s unique to you and you might not
have the support from your parents or
your elders because they don’t realize
how you truly feel don’t give up on your
passion design a life that is truly your
own you can impact the world around you
and change your life for yourself too
thank you
