..This dream I'm dreaming"
Top of the evening to you all.
A great thing happened in my life. I've always been a little hesitant about the future honestly. I've never really had a solid and firm plan - as a matter of fact I've never really even had a vague plan. Since I'm almost out of high school, it was finally time for me to try and face the future.
The future I have planned is not solid. I know that, because the future can always change. Life happens, not all things go for your way, and things come up. I understand that. Savoir-faire is necessary in those times ; ).
But let me tell you, it feels great now having atleast planned a future! To just have a sense of direction in my life is so uplifting. Just having a plan, a goal to strive for, makes me hopeful and makes everything I do so much more fun and worth it.
I've discovered a purpose.
: )
With that being said, I can update you all on what's going to be up with me because I'd like to share this.
After I graduate, I will promptly be starting college thereafter (a week after I graduate to be exact). I will be attending and am now currently enrolled at American River College (ARC)! As a junior-college attendee, I will be pursing my AS in Biotechnology, hopefully being able to finish it in 1-year and half instead of two years, to get a jump start on a transfer either to a national college here in the States, or to an International college in the Philippines for nursing.
After a hopeful BS in Nursing, I want to pursue Medical School and become a doctor.
The past few weeks have really opened my eyes to a lot of things, but the choice to become a nurse and/or a doctor w/ a background in biotechnology seems perfect for me. I want to go into research maybe, I don't know.
I want to be able to help people. I know within me it feels right. I don't want to have to look at somebody ill or in pain and not be able to do anything. I want to use my knowledge, skills, care, mind, and heart to make a difference in this world and in the world of others.
---------------------------------------------
It's not going to be easy for me. I'll have to make a lot of sacrifices. I'll need to be focused. I don't want to mess this up for me any more than I already have. I'm taking a chance on a lot of things, letting a lot of other things go, and hoping for the best, and I'm praying hard.
I want to do my best, and I am willing to make it all happen, and, with all humbleness due respect, I know I can do it, I feel I can do it.
---------------------------------------------
Tomorrow I have my AP Calc. test. I'm feeling okay about it so I'll just do my best.
---------------------------------------------
I feel great being able to see a dream. I swear to you I can see it. And the feeling feels right. I can't explain, maybe you can understand, but I'm going to make my dream come true.

woohoo! kudos!
