PLEASE HELLP. ALOT OF POINTS. I know that this seems like a handful but I really need the help. What is the organizational structure for "Achieving Your Goals." Essay below:

Achieving Your Goals

by Sunni Desai

When I was young, it seemed like everyone was always trying to tell me what I couldn’t do. “That piano piece is too hard for you to play.” “You’re too small to be a forward.” “You won’t understand those equations until you’re older. “ For a long time, I believed them. Now that I’m older, people still say those things, but since I’ve mastered those equations, played forward for two years, and am almost ready to play that piano piece, I know that sometimes you have to follow your dreams, and that you should never give up just because someone says that you can’t accomplish your goal.

First of all, if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. You can’t prove that something is impossible--all you know is that is hasn’t been done yet. People said no one could scale Mount Everest, but in 1953, Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay gazed down upon the world from its summit. People said that man could not fly, but in 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. People said, “Okay, we admit that someone could climb Mount Everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” If we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish?

Secondly, whether you’ve taken one or a hundred steps towards your goal, you’ve done real and valuable work. Imagining a goal takes courage and creativity, and acting on it takes determination and hard work. Whether or not you ever reach your goal, you’ve stretched your imagination and tested your character. Those acts are worth a lot more than someone’s thoughtless or rude remark. A rude remark is like a piece of litter in a national park--the best thing to do is throw it in the garbage where it belongs.

Most importantly, this is your life, not someone else’s, and it’s your responsibility to live it. Some goals you might not achieve, and some dreams might always remain dreams. But when you look back on your life, wouldn’t you rather have succeeded or failed because of the choices you made, not because of some rude thing someone said? Or would you rather spend the rest of your life wondering what might have happened if you had soldiered on? Living is about the choices we make every moment; it’s our job to make choices that make those moments count.

Sometimes, though, the people who know and love us best try to discourage us from achieving our dreams or accomplishing our goals. Perhaps they don't want you to get hurt. Perhaps they don't understand how important your dream is to you. We trust and respect them, so it’s hard to act against their advice--and sometimes they might be right. But never give up on a goal or dream just because someone tells you it’s impossible. Give up on it because you think it’s the right thing to do, or stick with it because it’s your dream. The choice is yours. The moment is yours. The question is: what will you do with it?
