Some people believe in fate or destiny, but I believe in making a point to do the things that create a life of happiness and contentment. At the end of my life, I want to be able to satisfyingly check those items off my “To Do” list, knowing that my life was full of purpose.
My proximate short-term goal is to create my own family and household. After growing up with several siblings in a loving family, I'd want nothing more than to create that atmosphere for my own family. The completion of my medical education will probably take quite a bit longer, but it is mandatory that I reach my full potential, acquiring all the knowledge I possibly can. Joining the Peace Corps is a life long dream as well. I can't comprehend why anyone wouldn't want to utilize the knowledge and skills God gave them to help those who can't help themselves; The Peace Corps seems like it would be a completely rewarding experience. In addition to performing overseas volunteer work, I want to make a significant difference in every community I live in.
Whether it be simple volunteer work or implementing programs to educate children, I just want to change lives by showing others God's love. There's nothing more powerful than that. Lastly, I want to educate myself by learning about as many cultures as possible in order to appreciate as many people as I can. My own Cuban-American heritage has many unique and special aspects about it, so I know that other cultures are just as extraordinary.
There are many events and circumstances that take place in this life, but I believe that making the effort to partake in the ones that are most meaningful to a person is what brings the sense of fulfillment and accomplishment every individual soul craves.
