5 Year Plan and More

High school has really been a learning experience for me. It made me mature and prepare

me for what was coming next after high school. I plan to be able to provide for myself once I

enroll in college. When the summer ends I plan to go to college at Stanislaus State in Turlock,

CA. It’s not to far from home so the commute won’t be too bad. I do have some financial support

from financial aid and scholarships but it won’t be able to support me for all my years in college.

There are always alternatives to get financial support, such as getting a part time job, paid

internship, investments, and etc. Student loan is also an alternative but I was recommended

against it and I know that student loans are very hard to pay back.

The first year of college will probably be my hardest year in college. That is not the only

difficult thing, I will also also be looking for a job this summer to help me get some money. I

will have to adjust to working and going to school and balancing my life. Any extra source of

income will help me in the long run. I will also have to get my drivers license and also get a car

as well in order to commute to college and back. I do still plan on living with my family to help

me save some money from living alone. That is all in the first year alone, which is why I said

the first year of college is going to be the hardest year for me.

After the first year of college I am just going to attend the next three year of college

normally. I am going try to get into internship positions for physical therapist to further boost my

chances of getting jobs in the future. As I finish up the next 3 years of college and get my

Bachelor in Kinesiology, I plan to enroll in a physical therapy program which lasts for a couple

of years. The program that is pretty well known is the Fresno State physical therapy program,

which I am keeping in mind. I hope that by then the demand for physical therapist will high

because the demand for physical therapist is slowly rising and getting a job in that field will be

easier. The physical therapy program may be pretty expensive but I hope I will have saved up a

good amount of money to help me financially.

I believe that I will be able to become a licensed physical therapist after the program. I

hope that I will be able to obtain a position in a hospital as a physical therapist for the first couple

years of my career. After working there for a few years, with the money from working in the

hospital, I will open my very own clinic with my own staffs. My clinic will be for everyone who

needs my help or assistance, whether it be athletes, ordinary people, children, and even elderly.

Opening my very own clinic would be a dream come true because I have always wanted to be

my own boss and help others. That will be my pinnacle of success.

To me, once I achieve all that I will be satisfy with myself. I do want to get married in my

late twenties or early thirties. That way I will have already have a job to support myself and my

significant other. There will be many obstacles coming towards me that I may not expect but I

will never let them hold me back. I cannot predict everything that will happen in the next five

years or even beyond that, but I know that as long as I have my family and friends to support me

I will not falter. I will pursue my goals and dream until I achieve success.
