The Art Of Becoming
Sylvia Yau
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” is a quote by Nelson Mandela which I believe. Another one is “Failing to plan is planning to fail” by Allen Lakein.
I believe you should work hard in school and plan your future early, so that you have enough time to prepare for what you want to do later in life.
When you start thinking about your future early, you can figure out what careers interest you and what steps you need to take to reach your goals. I realized what I wanted to be when my parents asked me “What do you want to be when you're older?” I didn’t know what to say so I had to think for a while. I noticed if I want to achieve my dream job and dream life I would have to work hard in school and most importantly plan early and ahead as well as finding the right universities.
Working hard in school is essential, and the reason why is because it can help you get accepted to the university you want and need by boosting your chances. Good grades, hard work, your best behavior, and a good reputation can increase your probability of getting into the college or the university you want and need.
Planning in addition to arranging your future early gives you time to explore different career options and make better decisions. Instead of rushing at the last minute, you can prepare by choosing the right classes, joining activities, and improving your skills.
This makes your life at university or college and future career less stressful and organized.
In conclusion, working hard in school and planning ahead gets you prepared and confident and focused. Having time to plan and think helps you know and discover what you want and gives you a better and higher chance of getting into the university and career you want.
Writer's Statement
In my essay “The Art Of Becoming,” I explain why working hard in school and planning for the future are important. I used quotes and a personal experience to show how education and early planning help people discover their goals and prepare for success.
My goal was to encourage readers to understand that becoming successful takes effort, time, and planning.
