A personal mission statement is a sentence or two that encompasses your life and what you believe in. My personal mission statement is about never settling and always striving to get better. It is also about not letting anything or anyone stand in the way of what makes you happy.

Here’s my personal mission statement:

In life I will never settle for anything that I am not happy with. I will always strive to be the best version I can be for myself and for the people I surround myself with.

Here is a photo I created of me and some of my role models.

These people that are sitting at this table with me have done some things that I believe are  amazing. These people are very inspirational to me because of the challenges they faced to get to where they are today. Take a look at Jimmy Butler,  the one on the computer. He grew up very poor and during high school he was homeless at times. Jimmy didn’t give up on his dream of playing professional basketball in the NBA and worked extremely hard. Now he is a regular NBA all star and a franchise player. To the left of Jimmy is Brett Reeder. Brett Reeder is a professional freestyle mountain bike athlete. At one point in Brett’s career he unfortunately broke his back. Doctor said he would have trouble walking and would never get back on the mountain bike again. With hard work and determination Brett was able to rehab his back and prove everyone wrong and in the following years he was able to compete at the same highest level of mountain biking as before. Centre right is Steve jobs. Steve Jobs is the cofounder of Apple California. As I’m sure you know Apple is one of the biggest tech companies in the world today. With not a lot of resources Steve was able to create this global business in his garage. This shows you that you can do anything if you truly want. On the very right is Richard Branson. Richard Branson is a billionaire who never settles for anything. I aspire to be like Mr. Branson because he has never stopped pursuing life. He owns a multitude of different businesses but at the same time he makes sure to enjoy every moment life has to offer. Lastly we look to the very left at Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein was known as one of the worlds great geniuses. In Albert’s early years as a child he was different. His teachers told him he would never be anything because he wasn’t part of the norm Albert believed that he would always be something special. He invested and believed in himself and he is going down in history as a true genius.

All these people that are sitting at my table have done something that I believe is truly great. They are great role models for me because of the determination and sacrifices they took to get what they believed in.
