Revised:

Realistic Side:

At twenty-one, I may be facing a bleak reality when I am kicked out from DCFS care. This could lead to me becoming homeless, losing connection with loved ones, dropping out of school, and losing my job. My lack of motivation and inability to meet deadlines may result in me having to pay back debts from both college and DCFS. This could lead to a downward spiral, with no hope in sight.

Desired Outcome:

However, I am determined to turn my life around and make the most of my opportunities. My goal is to earn my GED and transfer to a four-year university. I plan on joining an ROTC program to enroll in the army and earn a four-year master's degree. My ultimate goal is to become an officer in the army and then enroll in the police academy. I dream of opening my own dojo and, eventually, becoming an FBI agent. Despite the challenges I may face, I am determined to make my future a bright and successful one.
