Goals- Meriwether Carling

High School-

1. Start a small online necklace business
2. Have HCWSA go to state
3. Get good grades

Since sophomore year, I have made and sold small pearl necklaces for friends and family who want them. Part of the money that I earned went towards the CF foundation to help find a cure for the disease.  I used to always think that I was too busy and didn't have enough time to make the necklaces but in reality I knew that I could make time to get them done. Before I graduate high school and go off to college I want to start a small business to sell more of these necklaces to people around Lexington. It wouldn't be huge thing but I enjoy making them and the money would still go towards the CF foundation so it would be for a good cause. 

College-

1. Study Abroad
2. Get into vet school

College. I don't even know where I want to go to college, let alone what country I want to study abroad in. But, I do know it is something I want to do for part of my time in college. This past summer I visited Switzerland and Italy and learned a lot about both of their cultures in the ten days I was there. Emerging myself in another way of life while learning is something that interests me and by doing so I will also become more aware of how others live in comparison to me.

Life-

1. Marry/ Kids
2. Becoming a vet
3. Being content in life 

Eventually after college I want to become a vet, get married, and have kids. I would like to have kids of my own and adopt one as well. The idea that I could help kids in need, even if it is just one, by giving them a loving home and a better life is something I want to do in my lifetime. Also I want to be a vet because I love animals and I want to be able to heal them when they are sick and help them with problems they may have.
