Become Something



As many others in my age group, I have never determined what I want my future to be like. There are so many things I want to be, one thing is not sufficient enough for me. I've always wanted to master many of the arts in life such as perspective drawing, street painting, and music. I am also currently determined to make it into UConn for my education. I've always imagined what it would be like to be a highly paid lawyer, doctor, or scientist. I have also envisioned living a simple life of being a teacher or artist. I've also always wanted to be an influential person, and that is most of all I desire, to make my mark in this massive world. I've also been intrigued by many of the religions and beliefs of the world and hope to study them.


I've never worried about what my home would look like or be. All I want in my future is simply a place I am free to call home. I hope to travel the world and do whatever I can to influence others. I want to help those that need help most, regardless of whether I own millions of dollars in my future or hardly have much at all. I have always wanted to get married, but I would never let myself fall into marriage early in my life. I want to experience all that I can before I have to deal with a family or worry too much about my relationship with my partner. I do not want to be in my late twenties and have a family of five to worry about. I do not want to have to wait until the age of 50 or 60 to experience life, that is far too old to make memories that I could share with my children.


My dreams may seem realistic to some, but not others. My dreams seem achievable to me. In comparison to "The Great Gatsby" my dreams may seem too simple, but what I see in the book is that the lives of the character's are dull and pathetic. They have money and everything, but they don't know how to use it. In the book, most of the characters seem as though they would never make a mark in the world and only live to please their greed and die, never to touch the world.
