Where will I be in 10 years?
It’s one of those questions that really make you think. Ten years ago I was nine years old and in 3rd
grade. I have grown so much in that time
and so much has happened in my life I those ten years that I know I will
continue to change immensely in the next ten.
I will be 29. That is just such
an insane thought. I will have graduated
from Michigan (hopefully) six years ago and will probably have a full-time
job. I will have had many failed
relationships and will have perhaps found the one that will last the rest of my
life. Sitting down to write this as a
freshman in college, I know that I have so many decisions and challenges ahead
of me that will influence where I end up sitting in 10 years.
The main thing I want in my life ten years from now is to be
independent. I of coarse will be still
close with my family, but I need to be financially and living-wise on my
own. I hope that I will have figured out
exactly what I want to do with my life, because as I am writing this I still
don’t have much of a clue. Probably
studying psychology and communications, I could almost go anywhere in my career
path. For all I know I could be working
on wall-street, I could work in a sports organization like I have long wanted
to, or maybe my golf game could improve to where I’m earning millions on the
PGA tour (probably not). Wherever I am,
I hope to one day look back on this very assignment and be proud of where I end
up. To be proud of the choices I made,
the hard work I did, the person that I became.
Who exactly will that be? I’ll
just have to live and find out.
I did not think about this when writing my own blog post, but being independent is probably the one intangible thing I always find myself searching for. Sometimes I feel like everyone else is so much more independent than I am. I know that gaining independence is all a part of the growing up process, but this is one aspect that I cannot wait for. Perhaps I am just being hard on myself, but it's nice to know someone else is thinking the same thing.
