be, but sometimes people stray from their goals due to impulses or greed. I hope, in
the future, I can follow my goals carefully and not stray from them.

highest level. I think participating in a sport helps give structure and discipline to
peoples lives. It also helps to keep your body in shape and out of trouble.
My first step towards my future is a college education. To be successful in
this, I must have the determination and the will to succeed. In order to do this, I
must have the will-power and the dream that I have strived for all my life. If
everything goes as planned, that dream will surely follow.
