10 Year Plan

CALM 20 - 10 Year Plan

Dave Eustaquio

Spirituality

In 10 years...I plan to continue going to church every week, not just for the major holidays. I hope to stay religious and pray regularly. I will not forget my beliefs nor my background. Currently I am not very religious and am find myself unwanting to go to church, however, I know that as I age, I will mature and realize its importance and significance.

Mental Well Being
To be honest, I haven't put too much thought into my Mental Well Being. I just figured that I'd stay healthy throughout my life. The possibility of being unstable - whether it be an illness or because of an depressing incident - hasn't entered my mind. However if it does happen to me, I would like my loved ones to be close to me, to support me.

Physical Health

Although I will be busier as an adult than as a teenager with the more responsibilities that I will have, I don't plan on becoming one of those lazy workers who work 9-5 than sleep the rest of the day. I hope to still exercise, workout and play the sports I love; like basketball, hockey, baseball and football. I regularly play baseball with my friends, I know that realistically I will not be able to do this because I will most likely lose touch with them. However I still have my family that likes to play sports also, like my brother and my cousins. Plus, if I do get a job as a phys. ed teacher, then I could be even more active since I exercise during work too.

Financial Status

My plan in 10 years is to be a teacher. I know that their salaries are not the most amazing where you can buy that mansion and your dream car. Obviously it's possible to make it as a teacher with a family, as so many have, so I have no worries about my financial status. I just know that I can not buy all the things that I want, and will have to resist buying food regularly like I did during high school. I'm thinking realistically and know that my wife's salary should be loosely around mine, but who knows, maybe I'll marry someone famous..haha.

Family Life

I would like to have a wife in 10 years, and the kids we could discuss. Personally I have always wanted two kids with at least one boy. However my wife might want to have more or less kids so we'd have to discuss our family life together. I would like to have at least one boy so that I can play sports with him and talk to him about 'guy' stuff. I know that everyone says that they'll be nice to their kids when they grow up, or they say that they'll let their kids do whatever they want, but realistically, I know that my parents are protecting me; just like I will with my kids.

Social Life

I know that it'll be tough, but I really would like to keep in touch with my friends. However, I know that the reality is that I'll lose contact with them and I would have to make new friends. Of course I realize that I will make new friends through work as well as meeting new random people. I don't want to be one of those couples where they stay at home every night and do work, however, I know that the life of a teacher is very busy. The nights will have to revolve around the students. Also, as a teen, I would like to go to clubs and bars with my friends, but in 10 years I see myself settling down with the wife and kids.

Career Choice

In 10 years, I plan to be a teacher. I want to teach Math and Phys. Ed for a Junior High School. I also want to coach a men's basketball team there. I like teaching people things, and seeing them learn it and understand it, it's a good feeling to see them succeed in what you taught them. It's always smart to find a job that you like, and I like teaching Math, and being active.
