    My second day in college so far I can see the difference between it and high school your treated as an adult and expected to do all your work on time everyday unlike in high school were the teachers give you a chance to hand it in late. When you graduate from high school and go on to college the teachers have a bigger expectation from you they want to see your abilities in order for you to better each of your skills. Even though it’s not going to be easy but it gives you a perspective on the real world and what you a an adult should be prepared for when it’s time to get a job and learn the responsibilities you have in the field that you are involved in. I know that in order to be want I want to be in life I have to work hard do what it takes in order to accomplish my goals. My dream job is to be a Veterinary Technician because it's something that I’m very patio net about animals and being able to get them back to good health and be able to give them a long, healthy and happy life. So far I accomplished some of my goals such as graduating from high school now I have to work even harder in order to graduate from college with a degree and after words I would be able to get a job in the Veterinary field I hope I’m able to pass each class with high grades in order to get one more step closer to achieving my goals and dreams as well.

     So far I have learned something’s and what I should expect in the following month in college which means that I have to be ready for any task that I’ll be given but I’m willing to work and deal with it because that’s part of life you have to deal with whatever situation your put in and find a way to make it easier for you to understand and accomplish it. In the adult world you’re on your own can't expect others to do everything for you or even do what you want because that’s not how it works. In order to be on your own and to be able to take care of yourself you have to get a job and do what you’re told not come at whatever time you want or bring in late work that you were given. This is what college is there for to get you ready and realize what it takes in order to become a successful individual so that you are able to not be dependent on anyone in life but yourself. I’m learning about what I should be ready for when I graduate and start being on my own and have a career as a Veterinary Technician something that I’m looking forward to it. I know that it's not going to be easy that I’ll have to work ten times harder than I did in high school I’m gong to struggle but I’m okay with it because it's a learning experience and I know that I’m able to accomplish it just have to be positive about it and push myself to do it. I want to be able to show myself what I’m really capable of doing and just better my skills. Not only that but I want to be a good role model and influence to both my siblings that with hard work and dedication does payoff in life and help them as well to accomplish each of their goals that they may have but they have to really want it and be sure that's what they want in life because it's their life and future in the long run that'll be affected by the choices they make.
