My aunt asked me an interesting question the other day that got me thinking. She asked why I don't want to major in some sort of English related field, such as journalism because I love to write. I find this question very ironic because in the past few weeks I have been thinking very seriously about ideas to start writing a book. And it got me thinking as I answered her question, that I love to write, possibly above anything else that I love to do, but I don't want to ruin that by making it a career, I want it to be something that I ALWAYS love to do. But after I told her this, I got to thinking, I have so many things that I want to do in my life so I decided to write all these things down, to keep track of them so that they become realities some day, not just dreams that float away into the sunset. So here it is... my dreams, the things I want to accomplish, the things that I hope and pray that will happen to me, and the things that I will work hard to succeed in each and every one of them.
