My life Chronicles in Realizing My Dream Career
Family and cultural backgrounds significantly define the career ambitions of an
individual. I have not been immune to these family factors in making my career goals. I was born
in China, and my family setting has greatly influenced my life goals. During my childhood, when
I was in kindergarten, my mother registered me in a painting class, which I could attend on
Saturdays during my free time. My mother believed that I loved painting and hand making
different objects. Additionally, my grandfather often taught me to fold things using a paper such
as a kite. Both my mother and grandfather ignited my interest in arts. I concur with Rodrigues et
al. (149) that it is essential to be passionate about one’s desires; therefore, I became more zealous
in paintings and engaging in craftwork as I grew up. Irrefutably, the exposure to art during my
early childhood shaped the destiny of my career path.
I started designing my friends’ birthday cards and became more attached to visual arts.
Indeed, I became the poster board director in my class from my 2
nd
to 6
th
grade where I headed
my group in designing different posters that matched specific topics learned in class. My team
was awarded on several occasions for developing the best posters in our grade. I could often tell
my teacher that I want to be a designer when I grow up. In light of Dobrow and Jennifer (266),
many people have the will to win but very few of them have the intention to prepare to succeed. I
committed myself to art to improve my skills and did everything possible, including attending
extra hours of design class, to make sure that I achieve my dream. I understood that decision

defines destiny and thus I never wanted to go astray from my career path. I have recently focused
on improving my art skills and expertise through computer designing. I can presently develop
layouts of pictures and texts based on different styles, colors, and sizes. Importantly, easy access
to museums in the United States has helped me in learning new things every day. I believe I will
soon modernize both the Chinese and American arts.
However, the journey in pursuance of my career ambitions has also been rough at times.
My father, a lawyer by profession, opposed my desire to major in art. He said he could not invest
his substantial amount of money on a person majoring in arts. In fact, I feared his threats, and I
chose to major in Business. However, last year, I attended a graduation ceremony of my cousin
graduating with an Entertainment Design course. It was amazing when I saw him stand in front
of her artworks. I realized that was my passion too. She inspired me to pursue my desire and
engage in my interests because I solely hold my future. His encouragements helped me to realize
that discouragements and failure are two of the surest stepping-stones to success and thus I
decided to dedicate all my efforts in arts.
I feel energized and happy engaging in arts. I cannot deny that art makes my life
meaningful and I seek to improve my skills every day because my goal is to be an excellent
graphic designer. My teacher believes in my ability and appreciates my expertise in painting and
layout planning. In my experience, I agree with Mintz (n.p.) that individuals who build and attain
their biggest dreams are those that have determination and discipline in transforming their
current unpleasant situations to support their ambitions. Therefore, I believe the sky is my limit,
and I am going to pursue my education in graphic designing not only to satisfy my career goals
but also to serve the society. My dream is to start a bakery with my design of posters, packaging,
and store so that I can bring new perception and image in the Art field. I believe that with moral

support from my family and continued efforts in diversifying my skills in art; I will be a role
model to many who are passionate in the industry but lack a person to show them the way. I will
be glad to transform the lives of young, ambitious youths toward excelling in the art field.
