Recently in business class at school we had to make a powerpoint document with no words besides our name, and a number of pictures. The pictures were to portray different aspects of our future such as what we thought our family was to look like, where we were going to live, what we were going to do for work, etc. I had always thought about where I was going to live and what I was going to do. I believed that I wanted to live in Paris or Texas (two completely different places, I know), that I wanted to have 3 kids, and to work in marketing. Once I read the requirements of what pictures should be on the document, and that it had to be realistic, I was completely stuck. To be honest, I know I would never live in Paris, but it is a nice dream to have. I also had no idea what I wanted to do for work. When doing career research quizzes last semester, I learned that I wanted to be a number of jobs. After talking to my mom who has been through a number of careers, I learned that it's okay to have a lot of jobs in your life. I now know that I have absolutely no idea what I want to be in life, where I want to live, and what my family will be like. I also know that it's okay to not know these things. I am only 15 once in my life and I need to focus on things that 15 year olds do, not things that young adults do. While it is great to dream, it is also necessary to keep your feet on the ground and remember that the future is the future for a reason. I am supposed to live in the present, for I never know if there will be future. I know this post is very cliché and typical, but I felt the need to share my thoughts about the future with you all.
