<p>As a child, my teachers always asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. Initially, I thought I was destined to create a doggy hotel complete with a giant fire hydrant, inspired by a late night commercial. In fifth grade I was ready to pack my bags and head to Hollywood in hope of pursuing my career as the next Britney Spears (my then current idol) when I realized that I couldnt carry a tune.
The question of what I was planning on doing with my life became even more apparent as I got older. Suddenly, I was forced to pick classes based on my career destiny. I went back and forth between basic art and intro to business my freshman year, trying to decide whether I wanted to live life as a free-spirit, traveling up and down the west coast and sleeping on the beach, or if I wanted to carry a brief-case and listen to the click-click of my 3 inch heels as I strutted down 5 Avenue. Enviously, I watched my friends describe their future jobs: a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, but still, I was confused. </p>
<p>so it ends there. I am hoping to go to same that
1. Through envisioning myself in different careers I realized that I enjoyed creating a story for the different "career characters" that I made up for myself than the actual job itself and that is why I want to become a writer. I would rap it up saying something along the lines of "I haven't decided what kind of writing I want to persue yet (prose, poetry, screenwriting, etc.) but I am still a confused kid....lame i know...or maybe finishing it with X college will guide me on the way to persuing this dream...although i think it might ruin my "light-hearted" feel".<br>
OR
2. That my main goal in life is to make an impact on the world. I might add that I plan to make an impact on the world through my writing. </p>
<p>So what do ya'll think so far? Does it show my personality? To much telling, not enough showing? Bad themes? Bad endings? Comments?</p>
<p>Thanks a bizillion!! :)</p>
