Andrea Borg Professor Ethics 10/28/2021 Journal In my life I have made a lot of personal goals for myself, ever since I was young, I always have ambitions of becoming a professional athlete, that was one of my only goals that I really dreamt of. Making a name for myself and even bigger putting my country on the map as they aren’t very well known for the sport of soccer. Also, I have created values for myself such as being financially stable, giving to other people less fortunate and being able to take care of my own family. All these values are also my personally goals in the future. At 17 years old I managed to fulfill one of my biggest goals which was to be a professional athlete, I signed my professional contract and made my debut in England, which was one of my proudest moments. However, inside me I knew that if I really wanted to meet my other goals and values, I have to take another route which was education because we all know that sports are one of the hardest industries as you could be one injury away from making no money. I figured the best option for me was to come to America to get the best of both worlds by doing soccer and getting an education at the same time. Throughout my journey of trying to achieve these goals there has been a lot of distractions for example one big one was the partying side, being a young guy in a big city could be very distracting and take you on another long path trying to go to the same direction. There are so many things you could do in NYC that distracts you because you don’t want to miss these exciting times because you have to focus on schoolwork or go to the gym. I don’t regret doing these things as being here is special and in my country people only dream of being so close to such a beautiful city.
