This week in class, we have been learning about personal mission statements, and working on our own. A personal mission statement is one sentence that is unique for each individual to help guide them when making decisions that impact their future. The first step to writing a personal mission statement was make a list of what is important to you. My top 5 things that I came up with are family, friends, health, safety, and happiness. The second step is to envision where you want to go. I answered this in a couple of different ways. One thing I wrote was that I wanted to take a trip to Italy, but I also included that I want to work in a hospital lab and live with my future family. The third step is to describe what the best version of yourself looks like. I want to love waking up in the morning, and never dread going to work each day. I want to worry less and lift up everyone around me. I want to take care of myself, specifically get enough sleep each night, and I hope to never have to worry about having enough money for the important things. The fourth step is identifying how you want others to see you. Some of the characteristics I listed were caring, passionate, responsible, and confident. The fifth step is to figure out what you want your legacy to be and how you want to impact others. For me, I want my impact to be encouraging everyone to be themselves and be their best self, no matter what others around them think. So, after all of that, the personal mission statement that I have come up with is this: “to be a superhero to everyone around me.” This is kind of a joke, because I am a huge Marvel fan, but there is real meaning to it. It’s not because I plan on falling into a vat of toxic waste and gaining unnatural abilities, but because a superhero is someone that others can depend on. They also encourage others to be the best version of themselves. They never hesitate to do the right thing, and they keep a positive mindset despite any obstacles that come their way. That’s the kind of person I want to be.
