My plan for the future

While I was a kid, my parents were running a business store. Due to the pressure of the traditional cultures, our store was kind of declining of too many credits by our relatives. So, I grew up that's what I have in mind. It gives me the idea to study business, so I can come back and continue or expand the desire of my parents in running a business with more modern techniques.

Until I went to high school, I was also introduced to a new modern operating system, which is the computer system. So, started from there I was also interested in studying computer. At the same time I also noticed that most FSM Governments workers are not really familiar with computer. Then that's when my interest in studying computer pressure me to go for it so I can come back and help my own government.

So, as I go on, I have also realized that our government in the FSM is lacking of many things. I have learned some strengths, weakness, trends and warranties about our government. For example, if I'm not wrong, I think most of our offices and foreigners run companies in the FSM. Why and how come? I used to wonder why, and then I was also thinking that maybe us the Micronesians are lacking of the knowledge of many different kinds of things that we really need to know in order for our government to improve. So, this is what really challenges me to go as far as I can to further more of my education so I can always come back and help my own government.

As, I am a citizen of the FSM; I am concern about betterment of the FSM as a whole community. I am studying this kind of field so I can come back to the FSM and do something to increase more of the improvement of our islands and the people as well. I am planning to come back to the FSM and run a fitness of my own. I strongly believe that this will benefit the whole community a lot to improve the betterment of it and it's people as well as to stay fit and healthy. There are a lot of many different kinds of diseases that are now spreading into the FSM. So, this is one good way to limit the growing rates of it. The people need to exercise in order to stay fit and healthy.
