My feelings on an appropriate balance between financial success and the need to serve others by giving back; well, this thought has been ingrained in me since childhood. My father always taught me that those who can afford it should do it; when they help others, they bless themselves. Because when you help others, the good deed will always come back to you. In turn, I take his teachings in this way, in the most basic form, what goes around comes around. This perhaps sounds cliché; but when you think about it, it's like the circle of life. The world will continue to turn and there must always be people to help those less fortunate; someone who now has a better chance of succeeding. How many deserve a chance to succeed. Even though I am financially successful in life, that is not the only reason to help others. For me, achieving financial success is an important step in life; however, many people achieve great success with the help of others. Once they achieve the status they desire, it's as if they forget who they were or the path they started on. In my opinion, the reason you help others is out of the goodness of your heart. The feeling that a person gets from inflicting acts on others is irreplaceable; the ability to help another person on the path to success. Regardless of belief in what you do to others, it is up to you; the desire to help others truly comes from the goodness of the heart. As for my plans for financial success; my mind is open to many options. I want to start by getting an associate's degree in criminal justice or business from Essex County Community College. I then plan to continue to a four year school, Rutgers, to get a bachelor's degree in bus...... middle of paper ......e the opportunities are endless, I can build fifty units, or two hundred units depending on the area of ​​land that I can acquire. In conclusion, I would like to say what an honor it would be to receive the scholarship from The Smith Companies. The scholarship in question would definitely help me complete my studies, putting me on the right path to success. I want to succeed in life and my education is the first step. After working hard at the university level, the hard work of real business begins. I will contest these two efforts as two rams do, when they clash to show their dominance. Once I succeed, I won't be one of those people who forgets where they started. I will always remember what my father taught me; those who help others will feel good about themselves and succeed.
