".. If you can dream it, you can become it," that reminds me of what I dream of becoming is an overall "humanist" in the sense of studying and coming to understand more thoroughly and critically the humanities fields like philosophy; history, and literature.

I know that for many students entering college right now or already in college, choosing to focus on humanities subjects over, say business; accounting, computers, or something more "marketable" is not a popular choice because it does not lead toward a specific career that earns high pay. But I would argue that while studying humanities does not in fact prepare one to succeed in any one career, it prepares one to succeed optimally in any career, by being able to think critically and solve problems from a rational and humanistic perspective.

My academic interests and aptitudes also include math, science, computers, foreign languages and cultural studies.

My overall goal for college and beyond; wherever I go, whatever life deals to me, though, is to be able to still stay completely true to these same "imaginings" and "dreams." I know that these will continue to guide me well, as they have already, both while I am in college and throughout my future professional career; community service, and life. I am sure this will likely become harder as I accept more and more "real" responsibility as I grow older, not just to myself but to a future spouse and family. Still, I plan to always keep sight of the guiding beacons I have described here, since these have and will continue to enable me to continue becoming my very best self, academically, personally, and otherwise, and doing so for the right reasons......
