...Where do I see myself in 5-7 years? This question sound to be easy to answer but when it come to write an essay on it, So there I struggle as its very difficult to write your future goals and what you would like to be in five to seven years? If someone have asked during my childhood what would you be, I would said A Doctor, if some asked me during my teenage, I would have said A Banker, as these changes with the time because of the people who I meet and how they influence my decision making. This is difficult to answer that what would you be in future as the outcome of the present steps can be unpredictable. But taking some time to analyzing my strength and weakness, I found out that my future goals and my career can be build on this two quality of mine. I found out that my strength is convincing people, sales and marketing strategy, number crunching, training and leading people, creative thinking whereas my weaknesses are that I am aggressive in my opinion, impatient and need total over my team. Taking this into consideration I found myself into the field of consumer service or retail sector. I always have a dream to be an entrepreneur and start my own restaurant chain in my home country India. My restaurant chain would specifically target the youth and also dedicated to consumer service and satisfaction. In India it is very difficult to find such kind of restaurants. So to purse my dream I would need a proper experience and exposure to such kind of restaurant chain...

...describes my very life circumstances as it is today. For you see, I am no longer the younger man of times past. No, I am much older now, an old man who is no wiser, or smarter than when I started my journey in life. Although, I do know enough to realize that these truly are my last days, and yet, I see myself as a small boy of five. I should not admit such silliness, for it surprises even me to think as a small boy of five at my age. It is said that these are the golden years of my life! I wonder who first said that. For when you get older, you realize that the golden days was our miss spent “days of our youth”. Yes, those were the golden days! The days we thought we owned could treat them as if they would never end. But now, as we return from our journey, we know where we made bad choices. For you see, it is the small boy of five who is pointing out my miss steps where I made the wrong turns. Sadly, such days come to mind too often, reminding me of my failure to listen to those who were returning from their journey on the ‘trail of life’. Oh, the things they would try to tell me. “Watch out for this or that”, they would cry out as I traveled up the trail of life. Beware! Do not forget to make plans for your future! Listen to your conscious, for such comes from the creator of us all, if you believe. I did not listen. And now I have no one to blame but myself. And so now, as I come back, down the life trail of my youth, I find that I must begin anew. Go to college, get a degree, and then...

...The Desert Years Now, this is where I wish I could tell my happy ending, where I acquire unstoppable confidence, strike it filthy rich a few years later and fly off in my pink unicorn to my mansion on top of a hill at the end of the rainbow, where I sip glasses of Cristal and party nightly with the likes of Diddy and Naomi Campbell. Nope. Definitely not with me. Instead, I entered into another "desert" period in my life that lasted five years. It was a period where I experienced very little if any growth whatsoever. Instead I went around in circles, reading book, after book after book, going to different seminars, visiting a hypnotist, talking to coaches, listening to CD after CD, etc, all in the hopes of finding that magic pill, that one...

...yourself in a particular situation where you are in the future. In this small essay, I will be picturing myself in four different scenarios placed in different timelines in the future. First, I will picture myself in 2020, four years and two months from now, making a telephone call. The second hypothetical scene, I will picture myself in 2025 doing a homework assignment. The third scenario, I will place myself in 2050 eating a meal with my family. The forth scenario, I will picture myself almost 100 years from now in 2125 doing a homework assignment. With these scenarios I will use the technique, futuring, to image myself in the future and explain each setting. Now, what would happen if I, at the age I am now, was in the year 2020? What would happen if I were to make a phone call in 2020? Phones then have become foldable. You can place them in your pockets with very little cases with cracked phones from their convenient folding ability. Though, only five years from now, folding with some major phone upgrades are the only prevalent ideas with phones. The problem is that with these foldable phones, battery life has become a very heavy issue with foldable phones because the battery cannot exceed past the foldable dimensions of each phone. So what would happen in 2025, ten years from now in the future while doing homework? I honestly do not believe that in 10 years we will make a difference in homework productivity. The most I can see myself using a beta holographic keyboard...

...In five years from today, as a hard worker, I have many goals set for myself for my near future. I know that by striving for what I want and believing I can do it that I will be where I truly want to be. I definitely will be going to college, a large one where I can meet new people to be with along the way. The business and financing majors seem to interest me the most from past experience, so I can definitely see myself making a career of it someday. In five years, I see myself accepting my Bachelor's degree and going into my next two years for my doctorate. I'd like to start my life and eventually achieve "the American Dream." I believe the highest education you can accept and will get me where I want to be, and I truly value education. There are also many other goals I would like to accomplish over the next three to five years. As of right now, I plan to get a small part-time job and keep working my way up for the next few years. I would like to start working at a local bank in my neighborhood, and I know from there only bigger and better opportunities will come my way. I'd like to work longer hours over the summer and eventually get a new job that connects with my major so I can get the experience while getting the education. I am looking into attending college in New York, New Jersey, Florida and even here in Massachusetts. I can only hope for help from a scholarship to really go into a nice college that'd I would really love to attend. Once I get to college, I plan to work...

...The past five years have been a whirlwind of evolution and growth for me. I went from being in a four year relationship to single, then a year and a half later back into a relationship with the man I am going to marry in less than a year. I also went from having a great friendship with someone to finding out I was being used by her. All of the events that occurred in the past five years have brought me to where I am today; a little stronger, a little wiser, and a little happier. I do not truly know what the purpose of my life is, but looking back over the past five years I know that I am a little closer now, rather than back then, to finding out what it is. I find myself to be happier and more positive in my outlook on life. With the upcoming nuptials and impending changes that are coming, one of the biggest changes is that I will be a step-mother; I am excited and very forward-thinking. My fiancé and I have agreed to have more children, and I am trying to convince him to have children sooner rather than later because I know we are ready and I am anxious to build our family. Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development really places where I am today and what I went through to get here. Within the past five years, I moved from the young adulthood stage of life to the mature adulthood. I had defined myself by the previous relationship I was in and when that ended I was lost. Over time, I rebuilt myself to be independent but open to intimacy. During this transition I became...

...theorists over the years, such as Allport (1961) who describes personality as ‘a dynamic organisation, inside the person, of psychophysical systems that create the person’s characteristic patterns of behaviour, thoughts and feelings.’ In other words, a personality is a synthesis of our behaviours under present circumstances which allows us to combine what we know from our past experiences and allows us to make predictions regarding our future behaviour. The term ‘behaviour’ here encompasses all actions and emotions which we might experience. The ‘Big Five Personality Traits’ as they are collectively called, are comprised of the five following traits: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. According to McCrae and Costa, human personality can be categorized separately along each of these five scales, which are graded from the 0 – 100th percentile. Since no two person can have the same score across all five scales, this test takes the uniqueness of each human personality into account. Discussion Recently, I myself have taken the test as part of my individual assignment for my Personality Development class. In my opinion, the test does tell the truth about me, to a certain extent. Although I cannot attest to the degree of accuracy of the percentiles of the test to my personality traits, I can, however, say that I generally agree with the conclusions reached in the test with regards to my own personality. I will discuss...

My greatest weakness would be my constant critique of myself and my work. How do you handle pressure at work? I handle pressure at work by taking brief moments to compose myself before continuing. However most times I avoid pressure before it occurs if it's something that is in my control. For example I will do my work when I am supposed to so it doesn't sneak up on me. Describe a difficult work situation/project and how you overcame it. One afternoon the kids I tutor couldn't seem to focus. They were really tired and didn't feel like doing any work. I mixed...

...includes questions about where you see yourself five years from now. (Others are about your greatest strength or weakness.) While there’s certainly no one “right” answer for a question like that, some approaches work better than others. OSE ANNOYING INTERVIEW QUESTIONS by L. Bosco Interviews are a pain in the neck! Ideally you want to see if there’s a good fit between you and the employer. But most interviews are full of those “pat questions” that have been written up endlessly in books and even on blogs where so-called experts give job applicants handy-dandy “pat answers” to those over-used “pat questions.” So basically both sides could just as well e-mail in their parts and save everyone a lot of time. It’s a rare interviewer who knows how to create a really informative interview. So job seekers must still sit through these often painful interviews (some where the interviewer is barely listening) and be prepared to answer these same silly questions: What is your greatest weakness? What are your strengths? How would you handle an angry customer? And, my personal not-favorite: “Where do you want to be in 5 years?” I always want to answer that last one with something like “living in Bora Bora on my lotto winnings” or “King of Siam” or at least “Sophia’s latest lover.” (The name mentioned to be filled in by you based on your own gender, age, preferences, and imagination.) (Note from Work Coach: Uh…I’m not recommending you do that!) It is a question where virtually any answer...

I gladly took up this field to learn the basics and further hone my skills towards creating my own business someday, which I have always dreamt of. 4.

...think about where will I be in five, ten, and twenty years. To me, it is surreal thinking that I will be finished with school in 5 years because I have been in school for such a long time and I am only 18 years old. I hope to fulfill each and every milestone that I set for myself, but it takes a lot of hard work. Even though I anticipate my life to be a certain way, anything can happen and I never know what the future holds for me. In 5 years, I see myself finishing my Master’s, having a job that can pay my bills, and being in a relationship. Identifying milestones is not difficult. Effectively fulfilling them, is the hardest part. For me, motivation is key. If I am motivated, I can do almost anything. I will push myself above and beyond. In order to complete my Master’s, I have to be motivated to effectively finish on time. I am motivated to finish school because I know I want work with children and have a good steady job. If I would not be motivated, I would not be in school and working hard to finish. Working on a job is important to me because it helps me pay for school and bills. I need to work during school because I need to support myself during my time in school. In 10 years, I see myself finished with school, working with children, and being in a relationship and maybe even married. 10 years is a long time and so many different things can happen and occur during that time. Whether or not I am going to go into occupation therapy or speech pathology, I eventually want...

...When I take a look back on my life story and wonder what to write an autobiography about, my thoughts focus around control and excellence. Control has been something I have craved since a young age, however not only control over other people and situations, but control over my own life. When I was younger I didn’t have a say over what happened to me, where I moved, or what my situation in life was going to be like, and that deeply bothered me. Craving control is in turn what has inspired me to strive for excellence. As a kindergartener, there was not much I had a say in about my life, but no one had a say in the way I acted and what I could do for myself. So, I dove into education. The way I acted at school was the one thing I had for myself, and I decided that I would strive to be the best so that then I could have control over my life and what surrounded me....

...teaching experience. By creating this professional development plan I will be able to apply what I have learned in this class to my professional career. Here I will discuss my professional development plans to ensure that all students have a clear understanding that having an education is important and can lead to much success in their future. When many hear professional development plan, they automatically think anything that goes along with work. They will never think that their opinion or thought has anything to do with their professional development plan. Only the individual can assess their own professional development plan and know what areas they need improvement on. Professional development plans can also be tweaked a little bit when assessing it and seeing what areas needs improvement on. In the next five years I plan on completing my Associates degree in elementary education and possibly pursuing my Bachelors. I also plan to continue to work in the position that I currently hold if not assistant, then lead teacher. I also plan to explore to find out what needs to be done for me to possibly begin my own school or some sort of child care facility. Within the next ten years or more I plan to have all of my five year goals accomplished as well as work on my Masters in elementary education. I will also consider working towards my Doctorates degree in education. Once obtaining all of these, I plan to obtain an administrative position in the process of working towards...

...applications to counseling and to career counseling I live by certain spiritual principles and as I reflected on this paper, these are the same five I come back to. Where I read them, where I am quoting, who said them is a mystery because I’ve been exposed to so much. Rather than memorize a verse or saying, I try to internalize and make it part of me. I’m sure I am not one of the great prophets of the universe that gets hit with these revelations to move a million or a burning bush. I’m not at all sure I haven’t been one of the chosen who has seen the pits of hell right here on earth and the way out. So, that way out has become my spiritual path. Part of the first principle I live by, and which applies to any decision and where I find myself is: I AM NOT GOD Fairly simple, right? It should be simple to everyone else that I am obviously not, or, I‘d just make people forget I owe an assignment or I’d be in Barbados. Looking back over this road to happy destiny, I see the first pit I hit hard was the God-sized one. I fell and fell and fell and lost everything the big I had acquired after my first escape from junkie-land. A very wise soul who had interrupted my meditation while standing in line to buy my own tape on Self acceptance (hopefully not available anywhere) pointed out I never mentioned God while I pontificated on all that I had accumulated on earth. People died as a result. I didn’t, but eventually came to realize I am not God. This led to this University and to the people...
