Life's Successor

We spend more time being old than we are young. Time sometimes is a factor even if you’re desperate. But you have all the time in life to be where you want to be, everyone’s dream is a common one.  People are satisfied when they’re happy and one man’s trash is another’s treasure. As a student, son, nephew and grandchild, I have seen different types of success and happiness. It doesn’t have to be a professional life even though it is a milestone and is the American dream; it can be any way of living as long as you feel good. As for me, school isn’t my main attraction. But I do understand that I have to give my effort or try for this short amount of time because after you become something you want to be, one has the rest of their lives to live it, and mechanical engineering is where I’m at.

When you learn how to become or try to be happy, it often happens when you start adapting to life. My father lives in the Dominican Republic and every vacation I’m spending it with him, hopefully when I finish my studies I will start my own business over there. Every year people always ask me how I can spend so much time in another country, but I love it, I love being there and every year when I arrive, it’s like I never left. The Dominican Republic is very different from New York City. The air feels different, the environment, society and the food. Being a tropical island, country, the Dominican Republic is known for their famous plates and fast foods, to me the adaption is getting used to the water bottles. I adapted to the blackouts, the diesel fuel all over the place, the mosquitos, just everything that can make someone feel happy even if they have to substitute something that one is used to.

You have to try and be life’s successor but if you follow too much it may lead to the wrong direction. Becoming a leader isn’t easy; it requires confidence, loyalty and sacrifice. I try every day to make my day the same as the previous and even better because you don’t really know what your purpose is until you find something you’re comfortable doing for the rest of your life. Some consider education to be their path, in life others find it to be their minds because that’s where the real knowledge is, you can teach always teach something but you won’t always learn it.

Maybe from the present until the future I change my mind about going to college for the experience and try inspiring people to do well with their opportunities. Some people get overwhelmed with some of the challenges this beautiful life sends to us and instead of seeing the bright said of it people tend to turn to negativity as soon as they have to think a little. Words won’t convince anybody to accept me at a school or a job; it’s your attitude towards that obstacle and the way your actions speak.

When you put your mind to something you set every sense of motivation to that field so that nothing gets in your way or close to stopping you. Life gives opportunities but not too many free waivers. fortunes don’t just fall out of the sky, it requires hard work, determination and dedication meaning you’re willing to sacrifice and adapt to any circumstance that troubles you or makes you better. I think any college is good for me because I’m like the newt, I blend in anywhere and when I do I try my best while I’m at.
