Finding a reason

       Lately, I've been questioning what I was doing. Not just here at school, but in life in general. Society tells us to go to school and get good grades, and then to go to school again just be be who you would really like t be in life.

       One day while I was lying in my bed alone and my roommate was gone, a couple of my friends walked in. And while I was staring at the ceiling, i told them, " I don't feel like being here." And they looked at me kind of puzzled. One of them replied, "Neither do I." After contemplating, the other said, "Me neither." And I thought to myself, then what are we doing? Are we going to school to make other people happy? Are we just doing the norm?

       For most of my life, I knew exactly who I was. Ever since I can remember, I've danced, written, and acted in plays and what not. I knew from the very beginning what I wanted to do in my life. So why am I in school studying to be a Radiation Therapist? Honestly, you don't know who you really are until you sit down and think about what you're doing, how what you're doing is going to get you to your goal, and why.

       Although being here as a freshman has driven me almost insane in the slightest, it has also made me realize who I am and what I'm doing. and I'm happy because of that. Any little step I take, becoming a writer, an actress, a dancer, and a radiation therapist, and even a lawyer, I will be making my imprint on the world. Sometimes, we feel so small in a world that does so much, and we don't stop and think about the fact that we're all a part of a bigger picture. No matter what you do in life, you will impact other people around you, no matter if it's 5 people or a billion. SO I say if you are sitting in you room at night like me wondering what you're doing, remember that no matter what you do, do what YOU would like to do, and nobody else. And remember that whatever you decide to do, notice that it will make an impact. It's your choice where you channel those powers.
