Call to Hear

I can remember setting a goal for myself several years ago while I was a student at Francis Tuttle.

It had been about a year of studying day in and day out.

At the time I was working on my CADD certification.

Everyday that I went to school I was surrounded by mostly high school students who came in dressed like they had just rolled out of bed or like they had just walked out of the gym, and I found myself doing the same…until one day.

At the beginning of my last semester at Francis Tuttle I set a goal for myself.

I had an ambition.

At the beginning of my last semester at Francis Tuttle I set a goal for myself.

I had an ambition.

The word ambition means to have “a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.”

But it’s not just the desire to achieve “something”.

It is the desire and determination to succeed!

My goal, my ambition was to land a job by the end of the semester.

Ambition: a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.

But it’s not just the deserve to achieve “something”.

It is the desire and determination to succeed!

So what did I do in order to achieve that goal?

Well, I had to pass my classes number one.

But I also made sure that I was on time for every class.

I did more than was expected.

And I started to dress like I was going to work instead of dressing like I was going to school.

And whenever someone would ask me why I was dressed up, my reply was always - “Somebody’s going to hire me this semester.”

Before I graduated from Francis Tuttle I was hired as a drafter for a civil engineering firm here in town.
