Invisible Children

:)

They won $1 million from Chase Community Giving!

I was so happy. I had worked to make sure everyone I knew voted for them with one of their votes. Also, To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA), another charity I greatly support, won $100,000. So many charities benefited from this contest. It was absolutely amazing.

It is human nature

"We lie to ourselves or other people because the truth might

require action on our part,

and action requires courage.

We say we 'don't know' what is wrong,

when we do know what is wrong;

we just wish we didn't."

- The Secret Life of Prince Charming

So.

I've sorta decided what I wanted to do. Okay, well not exactly decided...more like narrowed it down.

Last September,I had finally put all the careers I'd love to have down on paper and found out that I have a very long Dream Job list:

1. NASCAR driver
2. Helping kids, anywhere
3. Volunteer inter-national aid worker
4. Author
5. Journalist
6. Phycologist
7. Neo-Natal Nurse
8. Urban Explorer
9. Therapist
10. Photographer
11. Actress
12. Musician (Piano/guitar)
13. Teen Vogue columnist and possibly eventual editor
14. Make-Up Artist
15. Baker
16. Tattoo Artist

Lately though, I've been doing alot of thinking about what I want to do because college applications are just around the corner. And I think I've finally somewhat figured it out. Although doing any of those I listed would be absolutely fantastic, I've discovered what dreams have that are closer to my heart then others. I love writing. I love volunteering. I love helping people. So, my rough plan is:

- Graduate high school (Obvious first step)
- Attend community college, start taking Journalism and English courses
- Transfer to _____ (I'm not sure yet) and major in either English with Emphasis on Creative Writing or Journalism, minor in either phycology or music.
- Volunteer as much as I possibly can between school and probably a job
- Graduate
- Become a full-fledged humanitarian, volunteering around the world, maybe teaching English, join the Peace Corps., while continuing to write stories and articles.


That's what I want to do. I want to help, I want to volunteer, I want to save the world. But I want to write as well, and pursue photography and keep doing music...hmm.


Well, I've sorta figured it out.

today's Hawaiian lesson.

Today I'm learning:

Aloha kaua- hello.
(Pronounce it aloha-cow-oo-ah)

Pehea a 'oe?- how are you?
(Pronounce it pay-hey-ah-oui)

'Ae- yes
(pronounce it aye)

'A'ole- no
(Pronounce it ah-ole)

:)

If.

If you had a choice to make between doing something safe and doing something that could either make you really happy or completely blow up in your face, what would you choose?
