My baby sister is a senior in college and she is recently got back from a study abroad trip to Greece. I know I am the big sister and I am supposed to be teaching her life lessons, but over the past year she has been a wonderful example of perseverance, dedication, focus and sacrifice. I don't think she fully understands all of it now, but I hope there is a day soon when she can reflect and feel proud of what she has accomplished. She has worked 2-3 jobs while going to school full-time in order to save for this trip.
Having a goal is great, but the more important thing is "what are you willing to do to achieve your goal?" My sister wanted to go on a Study Abroad trip and she was willing to work 10+ hours a day, sacrifice time with family and friends, not take days off and spend a lot of time working and studying in order to achieve it. I know there were days when she wondered if it was all worth it, but after seeing her pictures and hearing her stories from her trip, I think she is very glad that she sacrificed in the short term so that she could have this experience.
What are you willing to do to reach your goals?
