Reinventing Yourself

In class we were given a list of things to talk about/ answer and I decided to put a few of them on my blog. So, well, here they are.

2. Employment- what is your dream job? How long have you been in this field?

My dream job right now is to become a well known author that has respected work. I know this is a far fetched dream so realistically/ meanwhile I hope to just write. Whether it's in journalism, criticizing, or teaching English. When I was in elementary school, I really struggled with finding my gift. Everyone was either really good at sports, art, math, etc. But I was always lost. Come grade 8 we did a project in creative writing. I did really well on it and was quite proud. In future writing assignments I did just as well. That's when I knew what I wanted to do forever and I've been writing for fun ever since.

6. Setting- describe where you live.

In 15 years I'll be 30. It's a crazy thought. By that time I hope to have a steady income and a working husband to help pay for these dreams. I've always had a vision. A blue farmhouse with a subtle yellow for the door and window shutters. A white picket fence around the front yard and a beautiful garden. A stone path to the front porch and children playing in the yard. I feel like a lot of nature would be so inspiring for my career but I don't like driving 45 minutes to get to the closest store. Honestly I don't mind if I don't get to live where I want to because as long as I have a family, I'll always have a home.

7. Satisfaction- are you happy? Why/why not? Who is responsible for your feelings?

I believe that I will be happy. With people that love me and minimum conflict/drama, life would be less stressful and more bearable. With a daily routine that allows my family to live a healthy lifestyle and please God, I see no reason to frown. Of course I do love a little excitement once in awhile ;). I think I would be responsible for my feelings. Isn't everyone responsible for their feelings? Doesn't everyone chose how they think/ their opinion on a situation. In a strong relationship I don't think I'll ever hit rock bottom though I may slip a few times.
