A
When I was younger, I wished for a Porsche and a big house. That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes possible and took the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford that car and the dream house. All the way through junior year, my mind was planning this beautiful future.
Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at the age of 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, and on the same day, my beloved fourth-grade teacher. They left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.
After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me; life is not promised and neither is my future success. While I was going through the actions in an attempt to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I was just existing. It occurred to me that life has more purposes than acquiring possessions, which will only be yours until you can no longer p with the payments. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with you forever and that is real success.
Enjoying life’s precious changes makes a person more successful than a wealthy person who is not content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior year, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning information. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the blessings and successes that come with it.
I still make excellent grades, but now I dedicate weeks to studying instead of preparing for exams, and I thint the future with a deeper sense of meaning. Success, just lity, is in the eye of the beholder(旁观者). For me, being successful means truly living life each day, being thankful, and affecting the world.
