Cycle Paper

Much is expected of those to whom much is given. What have you been given and what, if any, expectations do you think people should have of you? What expectations do you have for yourself?

I have been blessed with the gift of a healthy life. I have also been given the opportunity to attend such a prestigious school. Although my parents don’t expect me to become the next president or a rocket scientist they do expect me to success. Not only because they know I can but because I have been blessed and given the right recourses to.

I have been blessed with good fortune and a good family foundation. I feel it is my right to give to my community what I can offer; such as Kravinsky had done. “Last summer, […] Kravinsky had given almost his entire forty-five-million-dollar real-estate fortune to charity, […]” (Pg 1. column 1 of the Gift). I might not be able to donate the efficient amount of money but I can help in other ways. Another thing Kravinsky offered. “[…] [Kravinsky] had donated a kidney […]” (Pg 1. column 2 of the Gift). I could donate my time and effort, I could share my education with children less fortunate, I could also even just donate my knowledge on life, and so much more. There are many ways to give back or help your community; it’s just a matter of the effort you put into it.

My expectations for myself are to finish these next two years of high school with a minimum of a 3.0 GPA. I also expect myself to attend a good college, so that I can succeed in my life long goal to go into the field of medicine and become a plastic surgeon.
