MY FUTURE GOAL

Many of my friends confess to adjusting their goals from time to time to suit the realities of the time. In my case, I prefer adjusting the realities of the time to suit my goals. I have many goals in life. However, out of all my goals in life, one stands out. I wish to become a university professor.

University professors are intelligent and well respected in the society. The respect accorded to them stems largely from the fact that they are masters in their various fields of academic endeavor. Unlike businessmen who can make millions of dollars overnight, it takes brilliance, patience, hardwork and a combination of a host of other qualities to become a professor. Anybody can become wealthy unexpectedly. But nobody becomes a professor unexpectedly.

I hope to continue studying until I earn a doctoral degree. This would unarguably assist me to realize my life-long dream. Doctoral programs are not earned on a platter of gold. I have no doubt therefore that the assignment is tough and the road rough.

I sincerely believe that hardwork, consistency, and level-headedness will not only keep me on track towards the eventual realization of my dreams, but would also make me a role model for younger persons who may wish to follow in my footsteps.
