Since I was a little boy, I always wanted to protect and help people. I never refuse to volunteer when I get the chance to. I am always willing to teach someone else what I am good at. When I came to the United States, my first major goal was to become a lifeguard and swimming instructor. When I reach that goal, my whole life has changed. I am always happy that people are learning from me because I have been learning from others almost all my life. Now that I reached my first major goal, I am in the process of reaching my second major goal. Five years from now, I see myself as a United State Coast Guard Officer. To become who I want to be, I will have to really work hard in school, do a lot of exercises and stay out of trouble. I cannot be doing anything illegal or anything that will make me a criminal. I need to stick to what I am currently doing. I need to keep going to school, exercising, work as a lifeguard and swimming instructor and stay out of trouble.
The year is 2020. I am a registered radiologic technologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering here in NYC. I travelled at least once a year over the last 5 years. Made that promise to myself after transplant, to travel. Jamaica, Cali, Vegas, Aruba. All the places I’ve been blessed to have visited so far. Calling off travel plans this year to focus on having a family on my own. It’s been EIGHT YEARS! Eight years that I’m cancer-free! The road to recovery has not been an easy one. Staying active and healthy has helped me reached this milestone. To see how far I’ve come, reassures me anything is possible.
Five years from now, I don’t think life for me isn’t going to be much different from life now. I hope I would manage to graduate college after four years and land a position doing something engineering related, even if it is a small-time job until I can move on to bigger and better things. My desired field of work is challenging, and I know I will have a lot of struggle, not only in these 5 years. There some things I think about a lot, and some that I need to be thinking more of in order to stay on the right path. While I think a lot about anime, studying, and my friends, I feel I should think more about learning to cook, my family, and thinking of my future.

I imagine myself as a twenty six year old in five years from now, I re-enlisted into the Air Force reserves as a computer engineer since my contract with the Army was done. Last year, in 2019, I graduated NYC College of Technology with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer engineering. I finally achieved my goals! How amazing. I also landed a job at Viacom as an Information Technology specialist. Ever since I started working in the building as a security guard in 2014, I’ve always dreamt of working for them in that field. In 2020, I’ve made that dream a reality. My family are wealthy and financially stable. I have my own home in Mill Basin. Yes, a mini mansion in Brooklyn. The first time I was shown that neighborhood,, I was completely mesmerized. I couldn’t believe the beauty and sizes of those houses. I never believed there were mansions in Brooklyn until then. I said to myself “I’m living in this one”, and here I am, owning a mini mansion. The mind is very broad and powerful. In this essay, I argue with my past self how positive feelings and thoughts can attract events and experiences, called the law of attraction.
Wow its been five years already. I can’t believe we’re in the year 2020 already. I’m in my dressing room right now preparing for my performance for the VMA’s and man my life is going great now. I got the dream house and cars I’ve always wanted, I graduated from City Tech with my Associates in Marketing Management and Sales and my Bachelors in Video Production. My mom and younger siblings is all happy and have a stable home. Everything is just great. The argument I have towards my past self is that I should’ve thought more of what’s planned out for me, to keep nothing but positive thoughts in mind and, to not let negative situations influence the creation of my road to success. But, the only way for my past self to actually reach where I am now is to continue to do what she’s. Continue to go to school, continue to study, continue to have these goals in her head and to not let anyone or anything get in her way and by the year of 2020 all what I’ve mention earlier will be in her reality.
Wow. Its 2020 already. I really can’t believe its been this long. I bet you’re wondering who this right now aren’t you. Well its me, you. Thats right I am your future self is 5 years. Its been a short time but a lot has changed I can promise you that. There are a lot of things I want to tell you. Stay focused. That is the number one thing you should be thinking about. I use to think about clothes, sneakers, basketball and other trivial things like that, but you gotta change your thinking. Sure those stuff are fun or cool but they should only be your secondary thoughts. Think about getting yourself promoted in at work to gain a little more money on the side to provide for this nice apartment I’m sharing with my roommate. Save up the money you make to finally get yourself a decent car instead of wasting it on clothes all the time. Most importantly think about your family and how you will provide for them in the future. You won’t be living in that house much longer so find some ways to help them out while you are not there anymore. Four years from now you’ll be graduating and although its been a hard path, its worth it trust me. I bet you’re wondering what it is you end up majoring in. Well to bad. I wont tell you. That’s something you have to figure out. You are me so you I know you’ll figure it out. What I can tell you about though is all the thoughts you use to have and all the thoughts you should be having and are having now.
Future 2020, five years from now, I see myself graduating from college with a bachelor in architectural. I also see myself living outside NYC, owning my own place. What would I say to myself five years back? Well, not to give up, look forward and keep focus. Start creating new good habits and get rid of the old bad ones. Bad habits only holds you down and waste your time. Five years from now might be far from now but time is passing fast.
Reminiscing the time I became a better person, I can’t believe it’s been 5 years, the day I first stepped into City tech is the day I told myself that I would finish something for once in my 22 years of living. Living with my partner completes my 5 year plan and recently landing a new job at a new tech driven company which I can utilize the skills I learned from attending City Tech and completing my BA in Computer Engineering just tops it all off. I have plans of continuing my graduate studies but that is put in hold till I settle in to my new position. My dreams are very broad but, my expectations are kept low, if I was able to meet my old self I would tell him the things I would do to make things easier the way towards the goal I set forth, starting at City Tech. If I stayed in the position I was 4 years ago before I attended City Tech I would be a train wreck. Regret is something I try not to have whenever I make my decisions. Having regrets bring you back in life and I learned that the hard way.
Working in Deloitt for the past five years and moving from just an entry level technician to the position of help desk support specialist have finally made me satisfied with myself. As I sit in the Café of Deloitt, I remember the time when I was struggling with my classes at Per Scholas and City Tech, how I ran from one institute to another just to manage my classes. I never had time anymore for anything, not even myself back then because I was so concentrated towards my education and I was so career-orientated. Although I had to face so many struggles, now I think it was worth it. I don’t think I would be sitting in the company I always wanted to work for the most if I hadn’t done what I did five years back. Not only have I managed to start my career but I also did what I always wanted to do the most – make my parents proud. What seemed as a bitter trial back then is a blessing to me now. Life has offered me so much and I managed to accept and accomplish so much of it because of hard work. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere other than where I am now in my life, and of course Deloitt. Sipping on my coffee and sitting in the café makes me realize this is what I always wanted to do and how much joy it gives me to accomplish all this and how I built this firm foundation for myself with the bricks others have thrown at me.
In five years I will be pursuing my doctoral degree. I’ll have my bachelor degree by then and have a part-time job somewhere. I am 23 with a great social life. At this time I can proudly say I am an independent adult, even though I’ll still be living with my parents (or living in the dormitories, in this case I’ll be beyond proud). However, I couldn’t be living this life if I never thought about myself and at the same time thinking about the world around me. It’s necessary to know what interest me and what my hobbies are to make conversation with other people. It’s necessary to know what happens around me, so I don’t become ignorant. But its also important to have a random mind to help relax and motivate myself.
I can only imagine what kind of person I will be in five years. And obvious necessity is a job, it does not have to be a great job at first. I have only been out of college for a year in 2020. I knew when I started college in 2014 that I was committed for at least four years, but I soon discovered that if I wanted to work at my own pace, I would need an extra year. When the job comes money, with money comes a place to live, with a place to live comes the future. I give thought to 2020, I am going to be my own person by then. If I was talking to my previous self, I would tell myself to stay on the correct path, you know what it is, only accept perfection, and be yourself. I know now looking into the future that I must succeed, if I do not there is the possibility of me being destitute which I will not accept. I am Connor Kempf, a Computer Engineering Student at New York City College Of Technology. I am currently in my first year of college. As of today, I do not have a job,I am looking for one. The complication is that college must come first. A few years from now, I move on with my life. I become a productive member of society with a future. As for employment, I envision myself being employed in the technology field.
My is Shawn Elijah Williams. I’m very ambitious. I like to cook,drive and eat. I have some advice for my present self five years from now. I want you to constantly keep AlAlláh (God) on your mind and tongue. I know you like to drive and you like fast cars,but you should focus more on your school. Don’t just get by,excell and the easier it will be in the future to demand and acquire what you want. You need a good partner by your side. Someone who has your back,someone who can make you better as well as you making them better.
If you don’t start thinking about your wife more and stop taking her for granted you will eventually lose her. I’m happy you understand the importance of family because in the long run that’s all you will have,other than Alláh and the Muslims. I want to stress to you the importance of not just wanting to get by.
The brain is really a powerful organ. It has the ability make you think about different topics all at once. I think that is one of the reasons why my thoughts were so unclear to me. I had so many thoughts flowing in my head all at once but it was never a specific topic. It is very hard trying to narrow it down to one topic at a time because there are so many. In my thinking process I noticed the least thing I was thinking about was my family I think the reason for is because my family and I are very close so I always know how they are doing and I always make sure they are okay so I don’t really worry too much. However, I was constantly thinking about goals to join the military and to become a doctor. Five years from now, I see myself with my bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and Science and starting my one year journey of a four year contract with the military. Still in hopes of furthering my education, knowledge and experiences to become a doctor.
I cannot comprehend how quickly these five years has gone by, and how my life vastly differs as I look back to the time I was in New York City College of Technology. I am in my first year of graduate school at City College, perusing further studies in Computer Engineering program. Life in City Tech was tough, but I kept myself together and made it all the way. The skills I got were priceless, and even led me to two internships from two different small tech companies. I am privileged that I get to be where I am as of today. However, there are few things I just wished I knew better – Self-motivating and hardwork. If only I had a skim of both of these, I could only imagine how my college years would be so much smoother. But, there is no regret, or no one to be blamed for but myself. It was a long four years that I learned it the hard way, but an enriching learning experience that pioneered me to where I am today.
In 2020, which is five years from now, by that time I’ll graduate college and have my bachelor degree then look for an internship or job which can support my visa status. Or maybe I’ll go back to my country, South Korea, and also look for a job that relate to my major. Either way, I think my priority will not going to change that to become an architect. A couple years ago, I decided to come to New York and study in college because to be broad my sight and thinking. Also, I wanted to learn at least two more languages while I study abroad. Expect my five years later will be the same, I still want something new and variety experience that had never before. Study more languages so that make me communicate with other countries’ people.
