Should my boyfriend and I get engaged?

     Yes, I feel that it would be a wonderful idea to get engaged with someone you love. I feel it should only be once in your lifetime. I would love to receive an engagement ring with a ruby instead of a diamond, but don't get me wrong. I love diamonds but my favorite color is red.  In my mind, it's a powerful color. I have many memories that have a positive outcome because of me wearing red. 

What overall goals should I pursue in life?

There are three ways I am going to answer this question. I consider that I have three points of views.

As a mother, my overall goal, in life would have to be that my four children pursue an education and be successful, and happy in their careers. Of course, this is what I consider to be my personal goal as a mother and mission in life. I will encourage them to reach this goal. Also, my goal is to teach my children a few qualities such as be respectful, to have compassionate towards others, to be loving among others.

As a wife, my overall goal would be to further my education and discover a well-paying job. I would love to be able to live a comfortable life with my husband and see our children reach each milestone of their lives with joy and appreciate each other’s company, and learn more about each other. I feel as we age we tend to change; that is just in our nature as humans. I am happily married and I could not ask for anything else. My husband is a wonderful man and is always looking out for my best interest. I do the same for him. I do strongly believe my relationship is amazing with my husband because my father was always there for me as a child and in a way it taught me to make the right choices towards men.

As a daughter, I want to be there for my parents and help them in any way I can. I am very grateful to have very supportive parent; they have never left me, and they have always been there for me and now as an adult. I feel it's my responsibility to take care of them as they get older I love them very much.

Here I go again listing everyone and leaving myself until the end. 

As a woman, my overall goal is to always be thankful for what I have and appreciate all the blessings God has given me. I could not ask for anything more. These last few years of my life have changed in many ways; I have learned a lot about myself. One of the things I learned about myself was that I could not let fear take over my education. Now after completing 2 semesters I can now say with confidence I will receive my bachelor’s degree in business in the next few years.

Should I stay in the religious tradition that I grew up in?

     I plan on staying with the religion that I was raised with. However, I do plan on studying it more in depth. In the beginning of the semester based on the theory that the professor was teaching us, I doubted myself, I felt as I didn't know anything about my own religion and in a way I felt lost. Even though I felt lost, I could not walk away from what  little I knew about my religion. I embraced my religion even more. I would love to take the religious course with my professor Marie Feldemire because I truly enjoyed her course and her energy in the class room and all her knowledge which I truly admire.

Given that life is finite and no one knows exactly how long his or her life will be, what kinds of goals in life do you view as most important?

     My goals are to live life with no regrets and to live it to the fullest. I enjoy every moment of my family because I don’t know if I will awake the next day. I have many important things that I do on a daily basis, and to name a few are to make my children laugh, smile and to see them sleep. For some reason this has always brought me joy just to watch them peacefully. To me, my family is very important and I cherish them a lot and always remind them how much I love and how I will always support them in anyway possible in reaching their goals and aspirations.
