Skeptical Columbus

I chose Columbus from Zombieland. He first came to my mind when I was thinking who I was going to choose for the essay. The way he acts to others or when he's alone, he is very smiliar with me. He is very introverted at the beginning of the movie and doesn't trust other characters in the movie, but eventually he will.
In the movie of course he's being very cautious, but he's being extra cautious in the movie. For expample he sets his own rules and because of those rules he was able to survive in the Zombieland. One of the rules was shotting the zombie twice to make sure it is dead. If you were to waste a bullet then you would become one of them. I do check things twice myself. I always check my test twice because I sometimes leave one of the multiple choice questions blank, and that happened couple of time unfortuneately. When he first meets Tallahassee, he didn't really trust him, and he tried not to talk about too much of personal stuff. He instead acted like he trusted Tallahassee, so Tallahassee would trust him. I sometimes act like this when I see someone who has bad rumors, but once I really get to know him I pretty much open up.

Life is like a Maze

Life is like a maze. We may never be able to find our goals in our life. We try to find the finishing point or where we reached our goals. I always end up in the dead end, and go back to where I came from. I start trying other path to see if it's the right path for me.
We all have goals in our lives, but not all reach their goals. We have to face many things to find the right path towards the goal. As a student it’s very critical to choose the right path, which reflects your future. I personally don’t know if I am going down the right path or not. I tell everyone that I want to become an engineer, but I don’t know what kind of engineer. I was thinking about becoming of all the high paid jobs, such as a doctor or lawyer. I also thought of becoming a sports star because I like soccer, basketball, and baseball. Unfortunately, I wasn’t good enough to be a “star”, so I gave up on that. I’m still trying to figure out who I want to be in the future. You have to go through these paths in order to find your goal. Those obstacles are like when you find out when the majors aren't for you.
Life can be tough, but we have to try harder and harder to find the right path for you. Eventually, you are able to find the path and finish the maze that you've been working all your life. For me, I'm still in the maze trying to find the goal.
