The personal journey to better myself that I have been on for a few months will lead to me doing better at university while getting my bachelor’s degree and then becoming a chartered accountant. I have been eating healthier, exercising daily, and expanding my knowledge. I plan on next year attending university and majoring in accounting. After getting my bachelor’s degree at university, I plan on finishing the criteria needed to become a chartered accountant. The Healthy Lifestyles Scholarship will help me achieve my career plans, goals, and personal ambitions.
At this very moment I am on a personal journey to better myself psychologically, physically, and mentally. I am doing different exercise routines daily that I have become very committed to, which along with eating much more fruit and not eating unhealthy snacks, especially at night has resulted in me losing over 30 pounds of fat and gaining over 10 pounds of muscle. My goal is to lose another 70 pounds of fat and gain another 30 pounds of muscle before next fall. I am psychologically bettering myself by staying in a relaxed, minimal stress state of mind. My intelligence is improving because I am taking an online philosophy course and a world issues course, plus I am reading much more than I once did. My personal journey has started well, but there are many tough times still ahead.
Next year, I plan on attending either Wilfrid Laurier University or the University of Waterloo. From one of those schools I will get my bachelor’s degree while majoring in accounting. They both have co-op programs that I will be joining. I will try out for the school’s football team and if I am unsuccessful, I will join some other extracurricular teams or clubs. While at university, I will get a part-time job in the area, likely at a grocery store or the university. The next four years will be spent achieving or working towards the major goals of my life.
After university, I will complete the remainder of the necessary requirements for becoming a chartered accountant. Afterwards, I will get an entry position at a large company or accounting firm and work my way up in the company. After I save a fair amount of money, I will raise a small family. Eventually, I will semi-retire in my hometown of Markdale, Ontario, Canada by either starting my own accounting firm or getting an easier accounting job for a local business. Many people stop exercising later in their life, but I will continue with my routine and my happiness.
My life will change many times, but I will continue to exercise and live a healthy lifestyle. Each day I am becoming happier, along with getting physically and intellectually better. I hope to continue this for the rest of my life.
