Refocus

In college we are learning not only about Emerson, and Dickinson we are learning who we are. We are learning who we want to be, and learning what we want to do with our lives. Usually that's quite a daunting task. But as I'm learning it all I think it's time to refocus; to list what I want and what I know I don't want (which can be just as important as listing what I want). That way when someone says "what are you doing after your out of school?" I will have some sort of answer. And more importantly I will be able to set small goals to achieve that will build me in to the person I want to be one day. So..


What I know I do NOT want to do with my life
1) I do not want to be a math major
2) I do not want to go into the medical field
3) I do not want to be a girly girl
4) I no longer want to be a princess.... unless I find a prince, or just a frog in need of a smooch (but not really because..)
5) I do not want to get married (this is because...)
6) I do not want to get divorced (which is because....)
7) I don't want to to ruin a kids life because of my life.  (so I don't want to have kids)
8) I do not want a "career" so to speak
9) I do not want to be complacent. ever. with anything.
10) I do not want to be dependent on any worldly thing or person

and that will bring me to...


What do I know I want to do with my life
1) I want to travel.. a lot
2) I want to have a job to requires me to travel
3) I want to study abroad
4) I want to get a degree 
5) I want to do missions
6) I want to write a book
7) I want to learn (everything I can)
8) I want to learn about and get to know people
9) I want to teach people
10) I want to inspire people.. or more I want God to inspire them through me.


So this is what I'm starting with. It will change many times. But it's a start.
