I am about to graduate and holy hell there is so much out there I want to accomplish.
Of course I have my own list of personal goals--do more art, start reading for pleasure again, etc.
But the list of things I would like to accomplish as a valuable citizen and advocate just keeps getting longer and is starting to include things I never would have imagined I'd find myself interested in.
Honestly, this class has rekindled the small flame within myself that would like to be a politician. I have researched requirements for running for city council, have reconsidered going to law school, etc. I truly feel young people need to start fixing things from within the system. I also plan to get heavily informed and involved in local elections because that is where real change starts.
I hope to get more involved in environmental and animal rights activism and would like to get a job at a non-profit after graduation. I am also considering some kind of counseling. I have also gotten back into writing which I used to do a lot.
When I look back at what I wanted to do my senior year of high school, and then at what I wanted to do when I first started at Texas State, and then where I am now my mind is blown. I am ever-changing. There is so much I want to do. And each step on this journey gets me a little closer to whatever it is I am meant for.
Such an amazing yet terrifying feeling!
I feel the same way! Im getting so close to graduating and looking back on when I first started its crazy how different my mind set was. I am excited for my future and proud of myself for getting as far as I have:) Im sure I will change my mind many more times before I figure everything out and I'm okay with that!
