In twenty years I will be thirty-two years old.  I will have graduated from Stanford University and will be the owner of some business that I create, if I'm not a pro athlete.  I will be married and have kids.  Me and my family will live somewhere on the west coast and hopefully I will be making a lot of money.  Other than this, I cannot tell you a whole lot about my life in twenty years.

On September 11, 2001 the Twin Towers in New York City were attacked by suicide bombers in a plane.  They crashed into the towers and killed thousands of people including residents of the city, the people on the planes, brave firefighters and policemen trying to save people from inside the buildings, and many others.  There were also two other planes headed for the pentagon and white house but neither of them got to their targets.  This tragic event has made a big impact on our country.  It has even caused the war that we are fighting in right now.

Sir Thomas Buxton once said, “Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal. The winner is he who gives himself to his work, body, and soul.” To me this means that if you want to be successful, you have to work as hard as you can at what you are doing. It doesnt matter how good you are but if you keep working hard and dont give up, you can do good. I think that success is achieving your goals, but to do this, you have to do exactly what Sir Thomas Buxton said. That is to give yourself to your work, body, and soul. If you do this, you will eventually become a very important person who most likely makes a lot of money.
