Inspiration
The two places pictured above (Lucca and Wall Street) inspire me and drive me to be successful. Lucca is my long-term goal, while Wall Street is my short-term goal. I plan on working at a firm in Wall Street and have a substantial income that will eventually get me to Lucca. I push myself now so that I can enjoy the Italian cities later in life, without a care in the world.
My future goal in life is to own a small place in the city of Lucca, Italy. I want to be able to enjoy the fresh air and silence, while also being able to immerse myself into the Italian culture. I want to fall in love with the small Italian country-side and forget about all of my problems, with enough money to satisfy my needs for the rest of my life.
