Goals by Ryan

Goals are things we should always keep in mind.  As a fourteen-year-old teenager, I currently have many goals that I want to achieve.  Within a year, I would like to make new friends and make the tennis team.  Within five years, I would like to apss the driving test and be enrolled into an Ivy league college, ideally Cornell.  I would also like to be ranked number one in America for tennis, if that's possible.  Within ten years, I would like to find a job that will allow me to live happiily and without stress in the East Hill.

I recently moved to a new district this past week, and I am now attending Northern Valley Demarest Highschool.  I feel this will be a great time for me to begin working on my first goal, and make new friends.  I would like to be friends with all of the incoming freshmen.  As a freshmen, I would like to try out for the tennis team and be first singles on the varsity team, however, it will be challenging since I will be new to the team.

The next five yeras will be the most challenging years of my life.  They will decide how I will live in the future.  For example, in the next couple of years, i can be the person driving a Ferrari or just watching my friends driving it because I'd failed my driving test.  I feel the next five years all depend on how well I do on test.  The SAT will decide if I will get into a college which willd be a big part of my life.  Entrance into Cornell, my ideal college, will be decided by my SAT scores, and my GPA.

Though I haven't quite realized my ten-year goals, I know that I would like to get a job which will continuously make me rich throughout my life.  For example, if I coul be a doctor, a lawyer, or a tennis pro, then I might be able to live happily in the East Hill.

It's not just "Oh I want to do that!" and make that as a goal.  In order for a goal to be real, hard work will pay off.  If I do not achieve these goals succesfully, I will not be able to live happier than I think I will.
