"When we build, let us think that we build for ever..." -John Ruskin

While one of the greatest parts of being an architect (at least in theory, for me) is knowing that you have built something that will change the world around it and shape the lives of others, we must somehow realize that throughout history, not many buildings have been made to last forever. However, there is something romantic about knowing you have "made your mark on the world." For me, the greatest accomplishment will be whenever I walk through a finished structure that I helped design; that will be my "I made it!" moment. If it never comes, I know I will be disappointed, but I also realize there are many specializations within the design field, and a plethora of changing in-demand vocations as well. Therefore, I intend to continue expanding my skills in all areas, especially those I tend to struggle with, like public speaking, and will hope for the best.
