My Manifesto

I remember my first day of school. I was the new girl who did not have a uniform yet. As I arrived to my new classroom I could not stop crying, I did not want my mother to leave me there with all of those strangers. I was really scared.  As I entered the room, I was really nervous but I knew I would eventually be all right. As the days past by, those strangers became my friends. Since that moment I have had wonderful experiences with them in school, I also have incredible and endless amounts of memories with them. This cycle of my life is coming to its last days now.

A new cycle in my life is about to begin. Sometimes it scares me to think what my life will be. I am starting all over again. However, from my previous experience I know that being nervous at first is okay, and that eventually it will go away and I will enjoy this new step in my life that is university.  Sometimes I feel like I am not ready for it, but then I look back and remember that all of these years in school were meant to prepare me for this moment. That is how I assure myself that it is time to move on and begin my grownup life. I now I have everything I need to go after my dreams.

            Since I was very little I knew for sure I was going to finish high school and then enter a university. At that age, I already knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. My dream has always been to study Medicine at an excellent university. Then, I will specialize in Pediatrics.  I desire to be a successful Pediatrician. I have always wished to form a family one-day and have kids. Although, my first goal is to become a professional, the rest will eventually come along. My family has always persuaded me to fulfill my dreams. From them I learned to never give up. Even if the road is hard, things will turn out just fine. I will not quit on my dreams. Aristotle Onassis once said, “It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light” (Onassis), this means a lot to me because it says that when we think that there is no way out, when we are giving up, we must remember why we are there. We must remember what we want and focus on it to keep going. I know I will find different obstacles through my life, but I also know I will be prepare to overcome them.

I plan to be a Pediatrician in order to help and assist all the kids I can. My inspiration to do this has always been my uncle Ulises. He is a pediatrician, one of the best. I can see how much he loves his job, his always saving lives. He does what makes him happy. I desire to be happy; I want to love what I will do for the rest of my life. I also want to do what I can to make others happy.

Today I declare that I will follow and fulfill every single one of my dreams. I will study at the university I desire and graduate as a Doctor. I will specialize as a Pediatrician. I will serve the people and specially kids that need assistance. I will do my best to make people around me happy. I take care of myself on order to be able to take care of others. I will love my life, every single part of it. I declare I will be happy from this day on.

I will share everything I know and have with that people that surround me. I will help that people in need. I will be the best version of myself. I will be grateful for everything I have and how blessed I am. I will be confident and I will trust myself. I will be able to do anything I propose or intend to do. I will inspire others to be happy and follow their dreams. I will be remembered. I will leave a mark in someone. I will love myself and the people in my life. I will make a change.

            This is my declaration. Today I am a student, but someday I will be a professional and who knows, even a mother. These are my dreams and aspirations. They might take time but I will be patient. I will do my best to reach each and every single one of them. I will perform all of this accompanied by God every day. I am starting this new cycle of my life anxious for the new experiences to come.  I am ready to take this new step.
