Big goals are coming into focus as I finish my first semester of Junior year at college. Although this semester was a total bust, I did horrible in my classes, I learned more about myself which is what makes these past few months successful and not a total waste. I was able to learn so much more about myself physically and mentally.

Through blogging I was able to tap back into my love for writing. I always knew chemistry with writing was strong but never focused on it as a career path. Recently declaring a minor in Journalism I am excited begin compiling a professional portfolio while working on my knowledge and skills making myself marketable.

My love for politics has been evident ever since I was a young girl along with being an activist at a very young age. Making a difference in the world is the accomplishment that I want to be able to tell my children about. I want to be a positive role model for young girls showing them what the life of a real woman is, as opposed to these fake celebrities that young girls are looking up to and starving to look like.

Recently, I've been addicted to browsing through 5-9 different magazines a week,everything from Shape, Style, Elle and beyond. I would love to be able to write for these magazines that I find so calming to browse. When everything else in my world is falling apart or so clustered I am able to flip through these pages and relate.

My photography has been at a stand still for the past year, since I had my digital camera stolen. Being a college student I have not been able to afford to replace my camera which is a shame since photography was so calming to me. Soon I hope to be able to continue my art.

Thought my mother never out right discouraged my artistic aspirations she really encouraged me to choose a secure career path which drove me away from my love for acting, photography and writing. I always took her advice when I was younger, what else would a young girl do because now I realize she was my only influence since I was the oldest daughter. Now that I am wiser, knowing myself much better than I did back then I take her advice with a grain of salt, knowing that she only wants what is best for me.

I know what in life will make me happy and I only hope that I have enough confidence and ambition to accomplish all of my goals and lead an exciting life. I want to be able to look back on a life of adventure but lead modestly with compassion and activism. I defiantly want to keep being the big sister that I am proud to have my little sister look up to. I am passionate about young people as well and hopefully as I grow and learn in my career fields I will be able to pass on my knowledge through an innovative and express outlet that will make young girls excited about life.

All of these goals are open-ended and of course could change in an instant but I love each option. I believe that I will be able to accomplish these goals but know that I am behind the eight ball since I have no writing experience on my resume. I am excited to start this new journey in my life.
