Jericho Sadorra Spring PBL Reflective Essay West Career and Technical Academy

Oh the Places Youll Go! Reflective Essay I expect to do achieve numerous things here at my time at West and in my professional life as well. Some of those things include having a formidable reputation, adequate grades, knowledge that will later help me in life, a sustainable job, and a list of other things. The recent

school-wide PBL project, Oh the Places Youll Go! represents a students path outside of high school. I may take a path that is similar to others, like going to college, but that path will split and shape depending on the choices I make. In the future, I hope to become a Biomedical Engineer. With that said, I have to take the gruesome class of Biochemistry, which is rumored to be one of the toughest (if not already the hardest) class in college. I hope to earn my Advanced Honors Degree with at least a 3.8 GPA average. With such a high standard set, Ill have to put more time and effort into my studies. After my stressful academic life is over and my professional life starting, Ill be put into an even more stressful environment. But with time, things will gradually reach a point of equilibrium. Im already happy and content with my life right now, and I hope to be in the future as well. I chose the highest diploma choice possible, an Advanced Honors Diploma, meaning that I have to be an excellent student in all my classes. Ill need to be the best of the best in each of my classes, meaning having all Honors or AP classes. With those credits, it will not only make getting into college easier, but less to do in it. Being in the medical field, I need to be avid in my studies. You dont see college students with a 2.4 GPA walk out with a Ph.D! I plan to lay out my foundation for my life right here and now. This is so that later in life, I dont scramble and rush to put things together. A well-built house takes time to make and the saying Rome wasnt built in a day explains why Im setting my foundations now. I dont focus on the future all the time, I also like to live the here and now. I hope that my time in the Dance

program here at West makes me a strong choreographer in the future. I also hope to achieve high marks on the Finals coming up. All in all, there will be tons of hurdles that I have to jump to get through my high school life, and even bigger hurdles during college. I tend not to panic as I flow through the ocean current of society as I tackle problems head on (strategically planning before I take them on, of course) and relinquish them before they turn into something I cant handle. Im aware that the path that I chose to tread on not only affects me, but everyone around me. I specifically chose to be a Biomedical Engineer because of my parents. Ive always wanted to surpass them, and the only way to surpass a person that tends to people in need is to provide the materials needed for those people. Not only will this career release me of being worried of what my parents see me as, but it will also help people around the world. As the age of technology advances by the day, my breakthroughs (if any) will be more effective. But right now, all I can do is dream and hope for the best.
