Introductory Reflection

My name is Humira Ahmed. I love art, colors, being expressive, creative and bold. I’m also a painter and have a small painting business that I hope to grow to something I couldn’t even imagine. I’m very driven and passionate and I am constantly thinking about my goals and how to be the best version of myself. One reason why I know I am going to be successful is because I am very delusional about my future. I believe in myself so much that I know for a fact I am going to live a life that I’ve always wanted. That mindset is what is going to get me successful because I don’t place limits on myself. I truly believe I can accomplish anything and I’m not saying this in a cocky way, I just believe that if you really want something bad enough you’re gonna get it. If you don’t end up getting it you don’t want it bad enough. I want the future of me as a successful artist more than anything in the world.

I’d like to think of myself as a good writer. I don’t think I’m the best writer, however I do enjoy writing. It feels good to express your thoughts and how you feel. I especially like prompts where I feel like I can be myself such as this prompt. It feels light and easy to write and I feel good about it once I’m finished. As a student I think I’m pretty dedicated for the most part. I try to put my all into each of my classes, however there are times where I do make mistakes such as mistaking a deadline or not meeting the deadline on time. Usually this isn’t an issue for me as a student but recently I noticed it has been happening once or twice. I think this is the case because I am trying to balance so much on my plate at the moment and as a result I’m not being as efficient in each thing I am trying to balance, thus my “all” is being divided. I hope to try to perfect my balance throughout this semester and end off this semester with very high grades. However I am still contemplating if it’s too much to balance and not doable or I can manage with much more effort. 

My personal history is one of the reasons why I have such a strong passion for my goals. My biggest motivation is being financially free. That is what is gonna make me truly happy. I wouldn’t have to rely on anyone and be fully independent. Not my parents, not my husband, I wouldn’t be tied to someone because I rely on them financially. I would be free if I was financially independent. I also want to be able to move out of the house as soon as possible. To have my own space and not have my household problems is also something that motivates me. Just coming home to peace after a long day and being away from terrible energy is really what I desire and it will happen the sooner I have a good stable income.

What I want to accomplish professionally is being a successful artist. I also want to be a successful lash technician. I want to have multiple and booming sources of income, have six figures hopefully before 25, and just truly be happy and content. In order to accomplish these goals, I want to become an even harder worker, more passionate, more determined, more driven. I want to be better in every way in order to be the best version of myself.
