Where do you really want to be in five years? Practically speaking, where will you be living, will you have a wife/ husband? Will he or she have a paycheck too? Will you have just started a career or have been working on a promotion at this point? Will you have children? Will you have the same car or one at all? What will you be spending most of your money on? Traveling or any children? Going for another degree in college?
(RESPONDERS- May want to question these responses by others and their credibility? Or relate to them...)
In 5 years I will be at a very important part in my life, I will decide whether or not following my dreams was worth it. I'm moving to California next year with my two best friends then the summer after that (2013) I want to begin a full out world tour. I want to do at least 300 shows in 3 years so until i'm 21-22 then i'll review how things are going and if I need to choose a different career, which I pray I won't. I don't think i'll be married but i'm such a big hearted spontaneous person that if I feel like i've found the one then I would want to have them forever so I would do something reckless like let's fly to wherever and get married. I won't care if my wife worked, I love when pressure is on me, I feel that's when I work best so I wouldn't mind shouldering the load for my family. I am not going to college because I would be in debt for like $100,000+ and that would take years to pay off. College is so not in my plans right now, I love what i'm doing now and it's profitable so yeah i'll just keep working hard and praying that in the end it pays off. 5 years from now i'll be 22 going on 23 and I don't know if i'll want kids by then because i'll still be a kid myself and I do not want to bring any children in this world if I can't financially support them. I want kids down the line, only 3 at most or just 1 at least because I really want a son. I want to travel the world and just explore and have fun and live life but also be responsible. 5 years from now I want to say to myself I remember when I was 17 this was all just a dream.
ReplyDeleteIn five years, I probably will still be unmarried, and still starting out in my wanted job, Graphic Arts. I want to eventually have a nice sized house in the woods, but not to far away from civilization. Unless I want a mortgage I can’t afford, I’ll be likely to be living in an apartment somewhere, or even still at home with my mom. Considering I still haven’t gotten up the nerve to learn how to drive, it’s possible I won’t have a car at the time. Walking is healthier anyway. The one thing I do hope for is to have a dog, maybe even two to keep me company. It’ll also be really great if I can finally finish one of these hundred of story ideas I have, and have gotten it published
ReplyDelete@S.Dozier: You have a very admirable dream, and while some might say it’s not realistic, I sure believe so. You show your able to think through things, such as your comments about not wanting kids at twenty-three, or that in a couple of years you’re willing to step back and really look to see if it’s the right job for you. That shows a level of maturity and thought that will help you reach your dream. I won’t lie and say it’ll be an easy road, but if you work at it you’ll get there.
ReplyDeleteIn 5 years, I'd want to be successful. I would want to have a successful music career as a singer/songwriter or go to Juliard School of Music. I'm not sure if I'd want children in 5 years because I'd want to get my life together with a good career and my own house in NY before I decide to have children. I'll be working very hard for my future and hope I get to where I need to be.
ReplyDeleteIn five years, I hope to have a decent paying job that I enjoy getting up and going to everyday. Im still not sure what I want to do after I get out of high school and college, but I am hoping to figure that all out soon. I plan on having a car by then, and using that to get to and from my job everyday.I will not be married by then or have any kids, because I will only be 21 years old and to me that is too young to have a kid. I plan on living my life the way I want to until I am ready to take responsibility of having a kid or kids. Most of my money will be going into the bank and getting saved, but I might use some of it to either get a better car or rent an apartment. For the most part I plan on being very successful, but still having fun at the same time.
ReplyDeleteIn 5 years I plan on living with either some friends or my boyfriend/fiance. Living in a stable household is important to me, so either my friends or boyfriend MUST have a good income to help pay for the bills and expenses. School is also important, so I plan on being graduated from college with a degree. I will at least be starting a career if not working on a promotion/raise. Having children at this point in my life is too soon for me. In 5 years I will be 21, so I'm going to wanna go out and have fun while I'm still young. Starting a family should come later, in my opinion. I WILL have a car, otherwise I wont be able to go to work or do anything I need to do. Since I plan on having a good job and making a good income I plan on traveling all around the world seeing different countries and continents. I will most likely be spending most my money on traveling, bills and payments, and of course shopping. When I get to this point in my life, I hope that I will have all these things accomplished and that I will be successful.
ReplyDeleteIn 5 years, I see myself going to a Culinary Arts School in New York. I see myself being very successful in that field. Then one day Maybe open up a little restaurant with my pops. Eventually, Ill buy me a nice house for me and my family, a nice car, and a dog.
ReplyDeleteWow. I don't believe I ever thought so much about a future when i was in 11th grade. Let alone college. I hated English class most and now I end up being a teacher. At this point in 11th grade I was told that "no girls go to college in this family." Hope that isn't the case with any of you and of course too, college isn't the only future. I guess adults are just scared that you won't see anywhere to go after high school.

ReplyDelete5 years is a awfully long time, I would want to just be happy and I want to be a preschool teacher. To live a happy life to not fall into the same category as every one else. I also want to write a book called "the red string match", Even though I have already given up on many of my dream. I learned that I can't just fallow my dreams because what if they never come true. That's why in 5 years I will be practical be married to someone that I hope loves me as much as I love them, teach in a preschool, and be happy. I guess you can say I'm normal or that my life will be boring but the way I see it is I just want to actually be able to get by in 5 years. That's where I see myself, I see myself getting by.
ReplyDeleteIn the next 5 years, I see myself living in an apartment near Bloomsburgh University. I'm still undecided on what I will be studying, but I know that I want a secondary in education. As for being married, I don't think I will be at such a young age, however I would like to be married in my late 20s. Since I will still be in college, I definitely do not want to have kids in the next 5 years. They would just be an added stress on my life and may even stop me from finishing college. I hope to still have the car I own now because, it is reliable and great on gas. Money will be a huge issue in my life. I will have many college debts to pay off,have food to buy, and be able to support my everyday needs. I am saving all the money I make now, so I can afford all these things. I hope that I won't have to return to college to get another degree later in my life. I hope to pursue a career in the degrees I receive my first time there.
ReplyDelete@F.Vasquez word, you made me think about the 1 thing I forgot, 5 years from now I want a puggle! It has the most swag a dog could ever have, cutest thing ever! (Little kid voice)

ReplyDeleteIn 5 years I want to be doing a job that I love and having fun with it. I hope to be in my forth year of college at Penn State University. I don’t think I’ll be married because I will be in college and working so I probably wont have to much time on my hands. I will probably have the same car I have now because it will only be about ten years old. I will probably be saving most of my money to start paying off my student loans from college. I hope in five years I will really know what kind of career I want because right now I don’t really have any ideas. I hope that at that age Im very resilient if somethings get very hard in my life. Most of all though in five years I hope Im really happy on what I’ve accomplished and really know where I want to go in life.
ReplyDeleteIn 5 years from now I see myself still in college studying to be a Vet. Vet school takes 8 years so I will be in school for a while. I see myself possibly being married to my current boyfriend but only time can tell. I don't plan on having children till my 6th or 7th year in college I feel like I can very well balance out the 2. I plan on having a very nice car. I also plan on having a contractor to build my own house instead of buying one already done.
ReplyDeleteIn 5 years i will be making the biggest change of my life. I will be going from school, to a working life. At this point, I most likely will be still looking for a job to start off my career or I will have just begun one. This is going to be the beginning of my new lifestyle. I will be saving up my money for things that I would like to have at some point in the future but not then. Things like kids, a house, a new car, etc. Since I will hopefully still be in college, I'm pretty sure I wont have any of this yet but its going to be when I will be working hard to achieve most of it.
ReplyDeleteIn five years i hope to be in college or out of college with the job that i desire most, witch would be a criminologist. I'm obsessed with crime shows, movies as well as books. I feel that since i am so into all of that, that this may be the job for me. I hope to be married and be wealthy, with a husband that has a good paying job as well, if its possible. I'd like to live in a big house surrounded by new friends, I'd also like to have two children in my life. I'm not sure yet, because I would like to travel. I will also have an amazing car, one that as I drive by people will stare and wish to have my kind of car.
ReplyDeleteIn 5 years.
ReplyDeleteI see myself in NYU studying my major and getting my masters in international law and crimnal justices. For being married and with kids its just a big no no. I refuse to get married and i really dont think about marriage nor kids in my future without getting my goal achived first. I see myself n my own apartment in a nice building by myself. I well be working and i well be haveing a prt time job working at a law office and i well be already traveling and getting to know different places and their laws. I plan to make big money. In 5 years i know i well be where i need to be with my dream job and my life where it needs to be and i plan to keep going and studying in all i can and reaching my goals.
In five years, I'll most likely be in college. I want to go to college to become a Psychologist. Mostly working with kids, I would love to have kids of my own but by the time I finish college I'll be a little too old to have children. The age of having children for me will be 25, so in about nine years I'll have a child. I would love to meet a guy who will be my boyfriend, but at the age of 21 school will definitely be more important and having a "husband" won't be on my mind. If I happen to meet somebody special at that age then great for me. Working will not be on my mind, I will like to just be focusing on school. If I have to work, then oh well. I'm hoping I will have my own car, but in New York you don't really need a car. I definitely want to be living on my own, so if I'm going to be spending money it will be towards bills. I hope my college life will be great, I will be in college for almost 10 years. At the age of 28/30 I'm hoping to graduate with a PH.d :)

ReplyDeleteIn five years, I will be getting my life together. I would like to go to Morvian college and hope to get my masters degree or higher in music and law. But also i would love to get a track scholarship to continue on what i love to do the most. Maybe i will be on tv and running in the olympics. As of right now, I do not want to have children when my dreams are taking off. But i would like to have children in my late 20's. Thinking about children, I would like to have one child of my own and also adopt one. Hopefully I will have the time to travel all the world to find relatives I never met in my life. But the money I will earn will go towards College, rent, and family. After I get all my degrees and my life is set, maybe I will get a degree in counseling
ReplyDeleteIn five years, i can see myself being succesful. I want to be graduated from high school with my diploma. i want to see myself getting into college by soccer recruitment. Playing soccer is something i love doing but not my dream. I still want to be associated with sports, so my dream is to become a sports trainer/ physical therapist. The best colleges that offer programs for this is East Stroudsburg University, Temple University, West Chester, and a program with a 2 year program at L Tri C and it gets switched into West Chester. When i go to college I want to work my hardest to follow my dream and because college is very expensive. When i finish college i want to be able to get a mini job with sports training in it . I also want to be able to afford my own apartment. Then later in life when I'm out of college get married when im 28 , then have my first kid at 29. I want to have a well paying job and my husband to support the 6 kids i want
ReplyDeleteFive years from now, I’ll be twenty-one years old. I would be in the beginning of my senior year at NYU; ready to graduate and receive my college degree. Five years from now, I want to be living in upstate NY or even in Manhattan. Being only twenty-one, I probably won’t be married. But, I’d hope to be in a committed relationship. I most definitely will have a paycheck coming in (you can’t live in NY without money, whether is from Mommy or Daddy or a side job). Hopefully, my guy would have a paying job as well. Five years from now, I want to begin my clothing line; maybe even be well on my way to opening my first storefront. Children will never be in a plan for me. Things happen. When the time comes, I’ll be the best parent I can be to my kid. Of course, I’d have a car. I’ll have one in a couple months and I don’t plan on giving my car up. Most of my money will be spent on myself—clothes, car, food. However, I will not be selfish when I comes my family. Traveling are in my future plans. I want to visit Italy, the Barbados, and other tropical islands along with my family. They treat me to vacations, it’ll be my turn to treat them.
ReplyDelete@Zmoll
ReplyDeleteI completely agree about the kid situation. I also feel that 21 is way to young to be having a child. When I am at that age, I would like to be saving up money, not destroying my savings on something that can be a mistake. I also want to be married before I have a child because it is to complicated to try to spend time with a child that doesn't live with you.
@ s.torres
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with what you are saying about staying associated with sports. I want to do the same thing when Im older, especially since right now sports are a huge part of my life. I dont want to just not continue doing something I have been doing my whole life.
@l.reyes That's so cool that you want to get your PH-D. I personally don't think I could do that many years of school but I totally respect you for wanting a job that really helps other people. I agree that I would want to live in New York City so I wouldn't have to spend money on a car since you don't really need one in the city.
ReplyDelete@DWolf follow your dreams and don't be pessimistic. Look at the glass half full & not empty, if you work hard success is gained. If you follow your dreams at least you can say I did it & not say what could have, should have, or would have been. So yeah please follow your dreams, it will be worth it in the end
ReplyDelete@storres don't go to East Stroudsburg, I used to live in the poconos and it is known as "STD" university, very unsanitary. Choose a different place.

ReplyDelete@S.Dozer, you seem so nice and kind. I hope that your dream comes true. I think you deserve it. Although you don't seem to interested in having a family, I hope you do find someone. I think everyone needs someone either to comfort you when your down or just help you support your career, like your own personal fan.
ReplyDelete@Lreyes living in a new york alone as a young woman is dangerous & the price of living is pretty intense so try considering finding a friend to go with you, someone you trust & have known for a while. Basically family to you.
ReplyDelete@S.Dozier good comment up top and thanks for the ESU comment. i was going for a visit, but no need to know because STD is not for me !!
ReplyDelete@S.Dozier, I think your gonna make it. Very few people have the talent you have. Keep chasing your dream maybe someday I will see you in concert!
ReplyDelete@Qammaz I would love to have a family someday but I won't bring a boy or girl in to this world unless I can support them financially because with love & care they'll be good. & yes I completely agree when things are worst you need that one person you could just go too.
ReplyDeleteIn five years I see myself still in school. Not high school but college. I will be going to colonary arts institude at new york city. Thanks to my grandma I know what I want to do this early in my live. If it wasn't for her i would be another kids still thinking about either going to college or not. Thanks to her now every holiday i'm stuck in the kitchen either cooking or baking. Right after college I would love to open my own restaurant. when I do, I wont have to hear people up my butt saying what to do, when to do it, how to do it, and etc. I would love to tell people what to do when I want to and not get yelled at or anything. I really don't want to think about having kids at the point because I would like to have a job first to see how I can support the family if there is enough I can give them. Like the stuff I never got when I wanted because my mom was the only person there for me my whole live after my father died. So right after high school I see myself at college and taking care of my mom like what she been doing for me this whole time.(I have no clue how she put up with me I feel so bad for her). She was the only there for me and I would like to do the same for her. I will be providing stuff for her instead of her providing stuff for me.

ReplyDelete@ d.Sellers I hope you find out what you want to do.
ReplyDelete@S.Dozier
ReplyDeletethank you very much I know that I should fallow my dreams and you are very nice for saying that. To be honest when i first saw you walk into this class I thought you were just a typical high school student that would just be rude and mean to me because of the way I dress... a lot of people do that but you are nothing like that and I feel that if anyone should have there dreams come true its you. You work very hard and you are very good at what you do I hope you make it far because you really deserve it. Ill try too and maybe one day we both will be some type of famous.
@s.torres I also agree i want to be involved with sports when Im older. Its just been such a huge part of my life and I don't think I could ever not be involved in sports. I think in five years maybe even just coaching a softball team would be great because I would still be involved with sports and I would get to help kids realize what sports can do for them.
ReplyDelete@ Quammaz, i know what i want to achieve in life, if you read the blog propertly and go through it throughly, then maybe you can relate. =-)
ReplyDelete@ D.Sellers I am pretty sure everyone needs a person in their life to support them. You might say you don't need anyone but look at it this way, you are surrounded by friends and family, and your happy so having a wife or kids is just like having an extended family.
ReplyDelete@quammaz. i can understand 100% but maybe its just not for some people. Yes having kids and a family can be nice, but what if everything falls apart because of a mistake. Then you will give up hope, let go dreams and be depressed for the rest of your life. Its not what some people want to live like.
ReplyDelete@ Sellers, do u know where you wanna travel to?
ReplyDelete@D,Sellers I feel the same I don't need anyone to support me but it just feels better knowing that there is someone that supports and i think you can admit that it does feel good just knowing someone is there for you even if you dont need it. ^.^
ReplyDeleteIn 5 years, I see myself married/engaged. I'd most likely be living in Pennsylvania, hopefully not in Bethlehem. He will have a job because I refuse to settle for less. At this point, I hope I already have a career. I will have kids, hopefully only two. I refuse to push out more than two babies. I will have a nice car, preferably a Nissan Altima. Most of my money will go to bills and my children.

ReplyDelete@Dwolf
i really dont agree with your get by way of thinking or the fact that you said you givin up on many dreams.
You should never ever give up on something you believe and want thats how you reach your
goals by trying because even if there is a chance it doesnt work out you well be happy to know you
at least tryed your best. You say you want to stand different from others but if thats true why just ge
t by with life??? dont give up dwolf thats like giving up on yourself and if you dont believe in yourself then who well?:)
@Storres
I enjoyed reading your blog. It makes me happy that you know exactly where you stand in 5 years.
You have goals that others yet have to make. I know sports are and well be a big part of your life make
sure to pick the best collage out of the ones you already looked at its important that the coolage you
attend offer your major:)The future in sports awaits you!
@Lreyez
PHD is great you should go for it and just like you im really into psychology myself. I want to be a lawyer
and psychology is one thing i have to study in collage too. Im happy you have your priorties striaght with
school first then work and social life. 10 years of collage seem like a whole lot to go but think about how
fast just 11 years have passed 10 years should seem like a piece of cake:)
