<p>Prompt: Considering your life goals, discuss how your current and future academic and extra-curricular activities might help you achieve your goals.</p>

<p>Some of my lifetime goals are becoming a doctor and philanthropist, building a strong family and adopting children, and publishing a novel. But I don't know how to connect that to my activities and academics, which include piano, figure-skating, girl scouts, and rigorous math classes. I had an idea of writing about how the creative problem-solving involved in math would help me become an avid problem-solver who finds new ways to find solutions to problems, so that I might achieve one of my goals. Is this idea too out there, and how would I write an essay about it if I were to use that idea? Any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Math to Engineering - medicine</p>

<p>figureskating - good health, physical fitness</p>

<p>girl scouts - what project?</p>

<p>Piano - helps learn complex stuff</p>

<p>Other than becoming a doctor, rest of the goals listed are fluff. One is considered a philanthropist only if they make a lot of money and donate it (if you said doctors without borders or something like that, it falls under volunteerism). family, kids have nothing to do with education and you don’t seem to have a writing hobby to support the publication of the great American novel.</p>
