On some days, it is very clear what I want to do. And other days, it is not. Throughout my entire life, I've wanted to do a lot of things. I wanted to be a veterinarian, flight attendant, teacher, writer, doctor, etc. I really remember a day when I was getting ready to graduate high school and one of my teachers made us go around and say where we were going and what we were going to do. And I joked and said, "Today, I want to be a flight attendant." 

And a girl I had known all my life said, "No, you're gonna go into journalism." 

And it become very obvious to me. Writing is what I enjoy -- though some days the last thing I want to do is write these posts -- and it makes me happy. Now, there are a lot of things I'm good at. And I don't think it's wrong to say that. You are also very good at a lot of things, even if you don't think so. I promise we all have many talents. What you choose to do with one of your talents is usually your career -- if you choose to make it so. I'm not going into journalism though, but she pushed me in the right (write, if you will) direction.

Ideally, we would all get to do what we love. It's not always the case. Either way, now I study English in college because that girl pointed out something that others could see, but I could not.

So, open your eyes if you don't know what you want to do. It could be right in front of you. Or three desks back. 

catch you later,
