In the spirit of the Secret I thought I would think optimistically about things I want to do within about four years. I have been a little discouraged because I had to medical withdraw for the University of Vermont. I got no credits and now own them $7000 I need to pay off now because I could not cover it with loans. I have no one to co-sign for loans and so I need to find a way to go to school for cheaper. Anyone got ideas? I have been trying since graduating high school to get a college education. Hitched rides with friends, finally moved to VT where I could live on campus, took out a bunch of loans, eventually work and school couldn't work and its expensive to live here. So now I just work. I have 2 years of college done. 2 more to go. I'm thinking about studying abroad as my wonderful mentor Peggy suggested. I want to go to Korea, but first should learn Korean don't you think lol? I guess Asian countries are eager for English teachers and so I would like to go teach if I can take classes as well. So dream number one:
I AM GOING TO COLLEGE IN KOREA. I AM GOING TO LEARN KOREAN AND THEY WILL BE NICE TO ME EVEN THOUGH I AM AN AMERICAN. Sometimes I get so ashamed of being an American since I feel like everywhere else in the world hates us. I'm not a redneck though! I don't own a gun or watch Nascar or eat fried chicken (often, lol). I am going to get my bachelors in writing/literature and a masters in social work.
Writing and literature are very important to me and though I originally wanted to be a fine arts major I've found I am a much better writer (this is totally not a good representation of my writing skills as this is a very selfish blog where I write train of thoughts with not real style or prose.) This brings me to my second dream.. err, fact. I WILL BE PUBLISHED, MY WRITING WILL BE PUBLISHED TO SHARE WITH OTHERS. I am going to start with shot fiction and move on from there. I have stopped writing since I left art school, writing stories that is. Things got in the way, ie. life. That's over now. Blogging has enticed me to write more and the next step is just write WELL more. I am going to put a link on here to my work so people can see how I actually do have a little bit of talent. I will also put links to the other interests I have.
- Videos of guitar playing!
- Drawings and paintings!
- Reviews of movies, music, comics, books, etc.
- Fashion?!?!?!
Geewilicers, can you image Kim actually having style? OMG I dream. I'm hoping I can gather up some money and start dressing supa fly. But I'm like 20, c'mon. 20's who supprt themselves and work full time don't got that kinda money, let's be serious. So my third dream, which is really tangible I just have to work at it, is to spiff up with blog. I need to get some friends who know shit about computers to make it cool and get some graphic designers I know to make an awesome banner for it. Like, a picture of me with wild animals surrounding me like Ace Venture when he goes home and the penguins come out the fridge and everything. Or a picture of me glowing as I feed African children in third world countries. You know, something that really represents who I am and what I stand for. lolololol
I feel like this is enough dreams for right now. I other dreams like, getting an awesomer job, getting a cat, and getting things. But that is like presents. Maybe not the job, but other stuff. My job right now is AMAZING. I am very lucky to be 20, with no degree, who started this job while I was homeless to work in a different homeless shelter helping homeless families. I work with a bunch of people who are older than me but I work hard and try to be respectful. I think my efforts have been noticed and I have a pretty good position here at the shelter. For the time being, this works for me.
