Full Goals and Challenges Education, for years, has been considered the key to economic freedom whether for individuals or the society as a whole. Being raised in this modern world with its many challenges, I have resolved to myself to be the best of what I could be. As I have always been told by my parents, I should learn to compete with myself and not with others as doing so would just lead to frustrations when one fails; or haughtiness when a person succeeds, which either way can destroy the spirit of that person.

However, competing with oneself could lead to improvements and the discovery of one’s skills, abilities and capabilities. That would be the very reason for the challenges and goals I have set for myself, first and foremost, to finish my studies here at __________ University. Despite challenges like financial assistance, work and time management to balance all my activities, I am resolved to finish my course in four years and become a successful ______ in my own right. I know it is going to be a tough fight, but I believe this school will be a great contributor to my success, with its functional library, well trained professors, and other facilities and services offered enabling her students to be well founded in the endeavors they are undertaking.

Whatever comes my way, I hope to always have the strength and courage to never quit for the realization of my dreams. As a student, stresses usually come from the demands of school and balancing the time needed in order to complete all tasks set every day. These factors could sometimes be very draining that one can just give up on his undertakings. To gardening, I am much grateful because it serves as my outlet for stress. Working the soil makes me appreciate its wonders in giving nourishment to plants.

I like planting flowers most because of the beauty they possess that would always enamor most people. It is indeed such a reward to see the flowers budding after months of care, as if smiling and saying their thanks to their caregiver. Having some personal problems before that were deeply affecting my emotions and daily living, I found the joy in gardening when I turned my attention at such a troubled time. With the physical demand and the time spent for it, I found out that it is a means of coping I could use as I never wanted to escape from my problems.

Taking my attention for a little while, gardening enabled me to think more clearly and plan my actions accordingly. This indeed showed how refreshing one’s mind can greatly increase the thinking ability of a person in resolving problems. Facing the challenges of college life, I am glad to have this outlet which I believe would be of great help in the coming days.
