I hate to say this but I just have no faith in myself right now...not even that I just feel like I'm moving towards a pointless goal. When I graduate what will my diploma say? That I know how to read, write, and analyze. If you can't read and write at my age...the education system has failed. Why is it that we are in a country where people can get famous off of youtube and yet majority of the people can't follow their dreams? What ever happened to "Carpe Diem" and seizing the day? I want to travel, learn about different cultures and write about it. I want to be able to say, "Hey! I've been there and seen what it's like." No wonder society is so messed up. We are forced into a cookie-cutter mold that makes kids today think "What's the point?" Why should they even bother if teachers/parents/guardians are telling them that they have to do something sensible. So what if I may live poor for the rest of my life. I've already come to terms with that. I'm in college. It costs a lot of money! I would rather drop out, travel, explore, and learn through experience and be happy but poor. Rather than be in a drab, slate gray, cubicle doing mediocre work and be miserable. SO WHAT about stability and healthy financial status! I don't care. Money means nothing to me! It may help me further my hobbies and momentary happiness but when I look at the world and see the people who have shaped literature, I don't see those who sat down and did nothing. They went for it! Why?? Why do I have to sit in so many hours of class each day? Just to prove that I can momentarily memorize data and facts so the school looks better? So I can sell myself to people for something I most likely don't want to do? I would be happy working in a book store the rest of my life, it's something I'd love to do.
........I think I'm done with my rant for now...anyways here's a quote that I deem appropriate for my day.
“There's no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.” --Ella Wheeler Wilcox
