Realizations

Hello my koalas, 

Happy Saint Patty's Day, for one, and also if any of you are not wearing green, I send a virtual pinch to you! 

haha ANYWAYS, this past week has been Spring Break for me, and I went back to my aunts and uncles house to spend time with family instead of flying home home. Anyways, while I was there, of course I was asked by almost everyone how school was and if I had made up my mind on a major, if I had finalized my plans for the future... Well, when I was answering them, I think I was just answering with the answer that I used to believe was true and the one they all expected or wanted to hear. However, now that I am back in school, I was thinking last night what would actually make me happy, what kind of career would actually make me wake up happy and excited to go to work that day. And I realized that I had to think back on my childhood to find what made me happy. I searched and searched and the results were not surprising to me. Ever since I was young I had always enjoyed entertaining people, whether it was on stage dancing, singing, acting, or if it was in speech and debate performing a 10 minute humor piece. I just enjoyed entertaining people. I like making a group of people feel something, interest them in something for even a few minutes if that was all I had prepared. This is when I realized that YouTube is actually something I want to start and I do want to get serious about it. I don't want to do it for the money, I genuinely want to create content for people to watch and enjoy, even if its just a short 3 minute video. That got me thinking, what do I want to do in the future and you know what, I still will pursue something in the medical field maybe. but if I could do anything I wanted, it would be something in the entertainment industry. I do realize though, that I am a freshman in college and many aspirations and a lot of interests to pursue. So to answer all those questions about my future truthfully, I don't know. I don't know what I want to do with my life. All I know is that I want to be able to do something that makes me happy everyday and allowed me to spend time with my future family and have fun in life. It doesn't matter how much money as long as I have enough to support my family I will be happy.
