This is important to me because I've been singing and I also play the button accordion and I have a good voice according to others. I want to be a singer for many reasons but one is that my uncles are a band in LA. I hope that someday i can provide my family with everything they wanted and more. My family isn't only blood, it's also people that I know and have been there for me. My plans are to practice everyday which I do nonstop for as long as i can. I am also planning on getting better and starting to perform in small places like the flea market since I know people. I also already sing at parties and get told I sing really good. I am doing a lot of things about this. I'm working every day as hard as I can to go higher and learn more, also to get a better voice. I hope someday I make it because school is not something I will be successful in. I also love to sing and play my accordion because I feel good and forget about everything I'm thinking about and feel relaxed.

I feel like we, as a community, need to make a difference in this world because animals, humans, and our economy is hurting. We need a better and healthier world. The way to succeed is to never give up, gather up a club, do community service, etc. This is important to me because we can make it a better place to live in. We could make it better for the future and it could help people and their health. It could help animals live longer, also humans. My plan, right now, is to gather a group of people and make a club. I'm in DoSomething right now and it's giving me ideas of what I can do.

This is an important goal for me because it can change the life of others. If I help someone, that person can help someone else and they will help someone else and then there would be a lot of people helping. It is also important because someone could be having a hard life and if that person gets helped, it could pump that person up to keep on living. Doing community service can help people because you are doing work for others for free. I am currently in the "Do Something" club which is a club where people can do community service.

This is important to me because I want to be able to be successful in life and make my family proud and also I have younger siblings and I want them to have someone to look up and know what they need to do to make their life successful and easier. I want to be able to look back and say "I MADE IT". My plan is to make sure I stay focused in my high school year, give it all what it takes, keep my grades up, never lack and if I do find a way to get back up where I need to be. I am accomplishing my goal by keeping my grades average, asking others in a higher grade than me how does it feel. I also go to tutorials and ask questions.

It's important to be a NBA player because basketball is my passion and being a NBA player takes a lot of guts to do it, because there is a lot of good people in the NBA. I also want to be in the NBA because I can get a lot of money and enough to provide for my family. My plans to accomplish this are to keep practicing basketball every day and hope I can make it to the NBA. Now I am practicing basketball every day trying to get better at it, if I don't practice then there is no way I am going to make it in the NBA.

This goal is important to me for many reasons. One being that I think I'm a really good artist and I can do a lot with it. I can express myself with it, it's something I can do in my free time, and also because I want people to notice what I can do and inspire other artists who want to do the same thing I want to do. Plus since other comic companies are so old, (Marvel, DC, etc.) I want to start a new era of comics, a new generation of comics. I do have a plan to achieve this goal. I guess I'll have to go to some type of art college first to get the "training" of what I need to become a comic book illustrator. I need to get some type of education before I can actually pursue this dream. I'm not doing much about it yet but I was looking up art colleges that would be right for me.

Honoring God is important to me because he made me and put me on this earth and wakes me up every morning. He gives my parents and family the strength to go to work and provide me and my siblings with food and shelter and a lot of clothes and shoes that i want. My plans are to get more involved in reading the Bible and church activities. I am currently in my church youth praise dance group.

It's so important to me because I love to listen to music. I like to make other people happy and calm when they listen to my music instead of that other music its just to violent and boring. Also I want to be know nby people that I'm the best at making music. First I'm gonna have to start by getting a job first than so I can be able to pay so I can record in the studio. Then I'm gonna put it on social media and tell my friends to play my music and also they can have it at parties so a lot more people can hear it and they might like so I'm gonna be building up my fan base. And I need friends that are really good at making beats. Also someone who can record videos and the last one that you gotta have is a good attitude and build a strong bond and that's gonna make a great team. Right now I'm still looking for people that know how to make beats for me also someone else to record. So I'm searching inside school to find them.

Writing/illustrating is especially important to me because I feel fulfilled when I am writing and illustrating. I feel a certain rightfulness and sense of satisfaction when I develop plots and characters. Not only can I express my ideas, but I also include themes and thoughts that are important to me. Thoughts that I hope will help people in real life, whether it's decision making, or to break from the commonplace and regularity of modern-day-society life. I hope that these thoughts and ideas will be important or at least somewhat important to other people in the future as well. I have a plan to get a copyright for my work so that I can publish it. I also plan on first introducing my stories through a relatively small source, such as a, dare I say, social media web page. Perhaps I could use a website of my own. I also plan on using an "on-paper" platform, like, if not, the school news paper (hopefully I could get it in; the space seems scarce and there are supposed to only be about 3 editions of it this year, due to budget cuts), especially for people without internet in their homes, like me. But, I've been thinking about this plan a lot, and I think that it could work. And if not, well, I could always do it amongst myself and friends. But I'm serious about this copyright. I, as anybody who listens to my periodical frustration (so, like, 2 people) could tell you, I am STILL trying to get a copyright and, because of reoccurring results, am also strongly considering abandoning the idea of ever actually getting any HELP in doing so. Ideally,this weekend I am to go to the library to try to apply for a copyright myself. Maybe with a friend.

Basketball is my favorite sport and once you make it in the NBA and perform well, you really have nothing to worry about financially or family wise. I want to get to that certain point to where I can make enough money a year so I can help out my family. And give the rest to homeless shelters. I'd still make money from the NBA and other side companies and use it all wisely on positive things. My plam is to practice at basketball forever and graduate from the University of Connecticut and get drafted to the NBA. But before college I have to get a job and have good grades in school to get to UConn. At the moment I practice everyday at basketball and watch all of the footage I can on how to improve. I also work on my math which used to be my hardest subject.

I want to do this even if it means giving up my social and academic life. My goal is so important to me because I personally feel that me as a living being should not exist and that my presence is a constant reminder of who else could be in my place. I don't really belong to anything and so with this in mind, I feel as though I should at least use my life in pursuit of helping others chase after their dreams and to do the things I couldn't do. I wish to pass down my knowledge and to make sure that the next generation and that the current one prospers. My plan is to see where my academics take me in life and still manage to help out the community in small, meaningful ways like cleaning or cooking for others or raising money for the poor. If anything were to jeopardize my learning in school and therefore cause me to not complete or finish college, I would have already had a job by the time that happens and would have saved up money during that time to be able to support myself until I find a better, high paying job. And with school out of the way in this scenario, I will be planning on donating the extra money that I make by giving it to family members who are in debt and need a boost and to charities and schools that I have gone to in the past. This also means that most importantly I would be able to put more of my time into working with nonprofit organizations that eventually lead to big, major changes that helps everyone all together. Right now, for my dad's sake, I'm continuing my studies in hopes of majoring in psychology or liberal arts and possibly Economic science. Also for my dead mother's sake, I'll continue my quest to better the lives of everyone I meet in hopes of bettering the world.

It's important to me because I can provide for my family, make some real money, and have people look up to me in a positive way. My plans are to keep working hard on and off the Basketball court, to do well in school, and to get my education. To accomplish my goal, I'm doing good in school, going to the gym to perfect my craft, and getting a first class education.

I always want to make sure someone is in their greatest mood, it's important to be happy. When you're in a good mood you do good things, even if it's just helping an elder across the street or donating to a charity, it still matters. If I helped people understand why they're feeling a certain way and helped them out it would make a difference, it could completely change their lives, or maybe just a small part of it. But either way, to help someone understand why they think or feel a certain way and improve it is important to me. Yes, I do have plans to accomplish my goal. I want to study criminal psychology. By studying criminal psychology I hope to better understand how a criminal's mind works. If I understand how their mindset works, I feel as if I could help them improve. It wouldn't necessarily be for them to become incredible people, because that's not realistic. But I do hope to help them a bit, try to get a better understanding of them and their minds. Right now I don't always help others in need, but when I can I try to. But I do do research on criminals, look them up and view their back stories, try to understand their ways and see it with their point of view.

This is important to me because animals are living things too, and they are the ones who balance the world and keeps the earth equal. Animals aren't smart enough to build their own shelters and cook their own food. They need more help than we do, Some younglings are abandoned and need our help to give them a little push to get started. Without animals we wouldn't have food. So now, it's time to thank them for what they provided us for many years. Even the deadliest are helpful. If there is a small town located In the middle of the plains, there would have to be animals. There are cows, sheep, and chickens. If a fox comes out of no where and killed your chickens. The first thing that you would do is kill the fox. but something you don't know is that there are other animals in the plains such as rats and rabbits and etc. If you keep killing the foxes that are killing your chicken there wouldn't be anymore foxes left to kill the other animals. The mice will soon over populate and take over your home. All your hard work, gone. and now you have to move to another home. Not only wild animals but dogs and cats. They too need help, they need a home, Dogs and cats don't have surviving skills like other animals they need us to live. My plans to accomplish my goal is to build a zoo for extinct animals. This isn't any kind of zoo. This zoo will have a whole not of space to help animals live their life without anyone ruining their home. They can hunt and live freely. This "zoo" is not only for wild animals but also for pets. By doing this I will work hard get good grade get into a good college and earn money to buy the land. In 7th grade my science teacher and a group of other students helped Sumatran tiger that were held at the Zoo. We created speeches and letters to help stop deforestation. And persuaded others to stop using palm tree oil. So that the palm trees can grow and the the tigers could have their home back.

By the age of 25, I want a high paying career, and to buy a house for my mother and grandmother. This is important to me because I feel as though my mom might have struggled to make sure me and my sister have what we need, but she never shows it. My grandma has helped my mom financially along the way. I think buying them houses is a sign that I am willing to take care of the when I get older and it is also kind of like repaying them back for keeping a roof over my head even when the times got tough. My plans are when I turn 21 to move to N.Y.C. to attend Fashion Institute of Technology and get a degree in fashion. From there I'm going to pursue an online clothing store and make quality pieces that anyone can afford. When this happens, hopefully we will be financially stable. To achieve this goal I've begun studying fashion designers and learning how to create fashion pieces that are different from trends.

Improving the lives of others is very important to me because when you think about it, everyone needs help improving their lives. No one is without hardship or strife. If we help each other than I feel we can all get through these hardships. It doesn't have to be hard or a huge effort to help, it can be just being there for anyone who has a bad day. Picking someone up when they fall, even just smiling and waving hello to people in the morning can make someone's day a little brighter. I don't have plans like starting a huge movement or anything like that. I guess my plan would be to help people as they need it, by being a shoulder to cry on, or a friend when everyone else has fled. Who knows maybe I can get a job that helps people too! But that's not really necessary. So I guess you could say my plan is to see what happens and to accomplish my goal as the opportunity shows itself. So far I have been accomplishing my goal by doing little things each day for my fellow classmates. I hope to keep this up for the rest of my life.

Becoming a Doctor is important to me because I can take care of my mother and travel the world. Also have a career that I love and will not get bored of. My goals to accomplish this is to study hard partake in a lot of activities in school and get into a good college. I am trying to get good grades and partake in school activities.

This is important to me because right now my family isn't in the best position. Supporting my family in the future will prevent the pain that my family is enduring now from ever happening again. I don't want my children to have to worry about the things I had to worry about. It isn't fair to anyone, let alone a young person who has no control over it. I want to have a bright future and not repeat the events I've experienced up to now. My plan is to go to school and achieve a doctorate so that my family will never have to worry about money again. This is the most important thing to me. I want to be able to support the people that I love. I've been working closely with my counselor at school and discussing my opportunities in the future and how I can achieve my goal. She knows that this is important to me.

This is important to me because there's a lot of inequality ingrained in our society, and we need to change that. Despite what anyone says, there's still systematic oppression taking place in every part of the world, U.S. included. Women, people of color, queer and trans people, neurodivergent or disabled people, and others are all seen as inferior. They're misunderstood and, as a result, demonized and oppressed. I, personally, fit into many of those categories, and just want to feel safe when I'm an adult. More than that, I want all the people who've had to live in fear because of who they are to be free from that fear. The best way to fight systematic oppression is to support social change movements like Black Lives Matter or I Stand With PP. I want to join these groups. I want  to go to protests, write letters to politicians, and make a difference. I don't really know yet what I want to do long term. A very tempting idea is to try to push minority groups into mainstream media, through books, shows, or movies. Proper representation is an extremely powerful tool not only in raising awareness and support, but in inspiring those oppressed people to feel confident in themselves. I am currently trying to join the social justice group at my church, and have also agreed to help with a memorial for Trans Day of Remembrance. I'm looking for groups in my area; protests, rallies, anything I can help with. I try to communicate the importance of change to my classmates and attempt to educate them on things they have little or no experience with, such as non-binary pronouns. I don't have a lot of time for the big things, so I try to help in the small things. I'm trying to unlearn ingrained behavior and stop doing small, everyday things that lead to the acceptance of oppression. I don't support companies or movies who promote oppression, and I'm always ready to have a discussion with people to give them a real manifestation of some groups.

This will inspire me to help others in need in different countries. I would love to go to countries where they have a short supply of food and not very good education. I'd love to have vegetable gardens and build schools so children and other people with have the things they need. I would also love to help any animals around such as stray cats or dogs. It will help me understand how one little thing can can put a huge impact on someone's life. It will make the people and I feel very good. My plans are to do community service and start in my area first. Then it will expand and I'll be able to travel the World and help people. Now I am making Thanksgiving baskets for people who are sick in my church and I am volunteering at the Philadelphia zoo.

Support and help my family. Supporting and helping my family is a very important goal in my life because since the day I was born, my family had been there, supporting me, making sure I was healthy child. Whenever, I do not understand something, they are there to help me. They support the activities and various things I do in my daily life, whether if it is crazy or useless. Therefore, I think it is my turn to give back to them by helping my family with the situations they have, and supporting them when they really need it. My plans for accomplishing this goal is to make sure I am doing my best in school and also making sure I am eating right and being healthy. These would be my plans because this would lift of the burden my family might have on me. They may think that I am still too young and do not know how to take care of myself, so they worry about me and other problems that will give them stress and anxiety. So, by doing my best and showing them that they don't need to worry this will help accomplish my goal. I have started to work on this goal. I watch what I eat, and make sure I am wearing enough clothes, so I will not get sick. I have also begun to sleep earlier and study more for quizzes and tests that may occur throughout the school year.

I want to make it to the NBA, or to get a job as a Real Estate person so I can have money to provide and support my family with the things they need. That goal is important to me because I hate to see my family struggle. So if i get a good occupation that will pay me a good amount of money, I won't have to worry about my family struggling. It is also important because i want to make it out of the "hood". A lot of bad things are happening in my community and I want my family to be safe and away from all of the violence. My plans to accomplish my goal is to do good in school, get good grades, & to stay out of trouble. If I do those things I will accomplish my goal. Right now I am playing basketball for my school team and I am in a business elective in my school so I can know things about my 2 occupations that I want to do.

Dance is important to me because it takes me through my sad times. Also it's what I've been doing since I was a baby and it inspires other to do what they do. My plans for being a famous dancer is to dance for people on the streets and everywhere I go. And make videos and make deals for it to go farther. To achieve my goal, I made a dance group and we travel through school together or stay in the same district and we show people our talents.

I want to write about my goal which is to graduate from Harvard University and become a rich and famous doctor. This is important to me because i want to be successful in life, and in order for that to happen i need to work hard. I also want to make my family proud so they will know that they did a great job with raising me and helping me to accomplish my goal. Last but not least, I want to help people who are struggling with their health and hopefully I will cure the type of illness they have and make a difference in their lives and their family's. My plans to accomplishing this are to first take as much as AP classes I can take, participate in clubs that will help me in learning new things about being a doctor, and also working extremely hard in order to get a high grades and a high GPA. I am trying to get into clubs, play sports and getting ready to get into AP classes next year.

This is important to me because I believe that we are here in this world to serve god. I also believe that if you want to go to heaven this is the way. And also the things to do in my religion make you a better person overall. Another reason this is important to me is because I want to make my life a very peaceful and comfortable for me and my family and I believe this is the only way to do so. In my religion you have to be a soldier of god and that is what I intend to do. My first plan is at a young age I need to do as many good deeds as I can before I get old and sick. I need to use my youth for the better of my nation. My second plan is to make a good name for my religion and the name I carry, my family's name. Now I'm increasing my knowledge about my religious rights.

This is my goal because writing is such an important thing to me overall because of how it is just so creative and how you can express so many different emotions and feelings just by putting certain words next to each other. Writing and publishing a book would be an amazing goal and step in a possible successful hobby, and the idea that real people may actually buy, be moved by, and inspired by whatever it is I choose to publish is more motivation. Writing for me personally is a way to build unique and beautiful pieces that all have their own moods and tones, all expressing different ideas but still being captured under the influence of my own style. I do have loose plans to follow on my way to accomplish this goal, like taking my writing more seriously, proofreading, getting more ideas from the real world to make my writing seem more realistic and in touch, and other overall skill enhancing techniques to improve my writing. Right now I always write in communities online for all types of literature, and some of my stories in the pubic eye have gotten hundreds to even thousands of views which inspires me to continue writing. I have started to form more definite structures for my stories, started to type up multiple drafts of chapter, and asked other people's opinions on what I had written.

One goal is to become a stronger writer, and maybe be known for it. I want to show the world how intelligent I actually am, especially showing people like me that even if you have a focusing or functional problem, you can achieve your goals and show the world how talented  you really are. Not even to just people like that, but to anybody who thinks they can't do it. I would like to write a play or a musical. Oops, I didn't understand that the goal said was simple and that I would explain it here. Oh well. I believe that literature is important, because it can teach us lessons, make our mark, inspire, and express our creativity. I already explained a whole lot, so I'm not repeating. Sorry. My plan is definitely to not give up and not be dependent on this. I will find another job, maybe a criminologist, because I can't base my income on writing. I also will continue to be involved in different types of writing, to improve, stay open, be experienced, and to explore what I really like. Other than this, I don't really have direct plans! Well, I'm doing essays and things and that's making me a better writer. The fun ones, like with more opportunity and choice, definitely make me want to continue. I've also taken a playwrights class, where I wrote a play and a monologue, and the monologue won honorable mention!

As a christian I believe my life's goal is to serve God. The bible states that we were put on Earth to preach God's word and that is what I want to do with my life. I also want to be able to support my family. By going to church and leading Sunday School I am helping younger kids learn about God and what God wants us to do to help others. I want to become the mission leader at my church when I am older, but also have a stable and respectable job outside the church.

This is an important goal because both teachers and occupational therapists highly influence the world and the people living in it. There is always going to be a need for teachers, because they educate the future leaders of America. Occupational Therapists help people of all ages learn and develop life long skills; such as how to tie your shoes, how to feed yourself using proper utensils, and how to brush your teeth and get dressed. There will always be a need for teachers and occupational therapists in our world, and I will be one of them. I am still unsure of which path to follow but, I plan on going to college either way. Jefferson University and West Chester University are two of my top contenders, but I am also looking at other schools such as, Millersville University, and Temple. I would like to work with children, either as an Elementary school teacher, or a pediatric occupational therapist. At my school, there are many clubs to help you with your decision, one of the clubs I am a part of is called "Educators Rising". his club is lead by teachers informing us and letting us see what it is really like being a teacher. My family friend is currently going to college to become an occupational therapist, and told me that if that is the career I chose, that she will give me information on what school is like to become one, and give me a tour of her college, Jefferson University.

To be successful and to be able to provide for my family I must first work hard and never give up trying. This is important to me because my family has done so much for me and I want to pay them back. I want to be able to make them happy and let them rest for all their hard work to provide for me. So, I must never give up and work my hardest to be able to provide for them. My plan is to first go to college and graduate. There I will learn to become an engineer. Afterwards I plan to get a high paying job to provide for my family. As of right now, I am trying my best in school to get a scholarship for college.

This is my goal because it's important to me so that if there were ever a financial crisis, which happens to the best of people, i would have money saved. This would help in the effort to provide a stellar learning environment for my future children and provide safety. How much money you make determines where you can afford to live, if you don't make enough money you and your family could end up in an unsafe neighborhood, therefore an unsafe school with a failing curriculum. I have definitely made plans to reach this goal. I have looked into several colleges and scholarships. I am working hard in school so that I can get a scholarship because my parents can't pay for my schooling. I have looked into volunteering at a nearby hospital this summer. I have also done some research on PFE, professional medical field experience. Once I turn 18 I am starting an IRA (individual retirement account) so that I have money saved for my retirement. Right now, I study hard and do a lot of research
