My Mission in Life :)

Looking back in highschool, I was just a happy-go-lucky girl. I studied less. I played more. I enjoyed with my friends most. I never thought about my ambitions. That was how I lived my life. Countless times had I wished I could stay in highschool forever; but at some point when I was preparing for my college, I begun thinking about my future. I told myself I was not getting any younger. I knew I have to do something. College is a lot more different from highschool. You cannot just sit back and relax in college. Amidst such realization, I started planning and setting goals for myself. These goals will be very helpful to me as these will set my standards in life and eventually guide me in facing my endeavors in life. In doing so, I enumerated some things which I wanted and I needed to be. First, be a daughter that my parents can be proud of. How will I achieve this? Study hard. Unlike my carefree days, I am now determined to finish my college with pride and honor. I have to wear my toga and receive my diploma on time albeit no awards. Just no failures. No disappointments. I want to make my parents feel that all of their support, be it financial or moral, will not be wasted. Second, be a lawyer. After I finish my college degree, I will pursue my study of law. I will do my best so that ten years from now, I can be in a trial court prosecuting or defending someone in order to help in the administration of justice in our country. By achieving this goal, not only will I gratify my parents but I will also bring honor to my clan and my hometown. More so, with such a stable job and a reasonable salary, I can have the means to support my family as a payback for everything they have given me. Third, be a devoted Muslim. I will do the five pillars of Islam; pledge loyalty to Allah, pray five times a day, give financial assistance to the needy, practice fasting during Ramadhan, and make pilgrimage to Mecca at least once before I die. If I accomplished all of these, then that is the only time that I can proudly say that I have lived my life to the fullest and that I have served my purpose very well. With the guidance of Allah, my parents and my family, I believe I can attain all of these things which I consider to be my missions in life.
