"I never had to choose my subject-rather my subject chose me" Elle Ogden

Fears- snakes, spiders, failure
Annoyances- wasting time, repetitive noises
Accomplishments- GPA, relationships with friends and family
Confusions- favoritism, politics
Sorrows- being anxious, self-doubt, confidence
Dreams- I want to contribute something of importance to our world
Idiosyncrasies- dog lover, allergic to everything
Risks- lol I don't really do risks, they're not my thing
Beloved Possessions- toys and material items (then) my dogs, my friends, my family (now)
Problems- relaxing, not worrying, sleep

When I think back on all the answers I've given when asked about my dreams, I laugh. I had such cliche answers. One's like "I want to be a doctor" or "I'm gonna play soccer professionally". My 8 year old self was so naive to think that those were the most important things I could possibly do with my life. Don't get me wrong, doctors are incredibly important to our world, but I never even liked biology or doctors. I found myself telling people what they wanted to hear. And what adult doesn't love to hear a little kid say they're going to be a professional athlete or give the commonplace answer of "I'm gonna be a doctor".
If I've learned anything as I've grown up, it's that I want to contribute something to our world. I want to die knowing that I've done everything in my power to improve our world in some way or another. Big or small, that is the only way I will be satisfied with my life. I'm sick of wasting time (one of my all time pet peeves) doing pointless things that won't help me accomplish my dreams.
