I have a plan!!!! I have a reason. Before, I tended to just drift along and see what I could do. I work hard with exams, am fairly good in social situations when I get myself into them, and tried to ignore the bad by focusing on the good. And ok good, thats fabulous and all that, but I've realised tonight that's not the way to live. We've all got to have goals and plans, things to aspire to, things to work towards. Here's mine:-
Firstly, starting tomorrow I'm job hunting. I'm going to be writing my CV tomorrow and job hunting. Secondly, I'm going to increase the amount of time I spend working with the special needs children at sixth form (I know I've got work experience with them coming up soon but I think it needs more than that) also I'm going to increase the hours I spend babysitting, thus increasing my experience with working with children and showing employers how I am trusted. Thirdly, I shall be working part time whilst doing my second year of Alevels and economising, it will become clear why in a bit. Fourthly- I'm going to work really hard to get really good grades in my Alevels. Fifthly, When I have finished my second year of Alevels, I am going to take a gap year, during this gap year I am going to apply for full time jobs. Sixthly- It's always been a HUGE dream of mine to go to America, and I found out tonight about a scheme called "Camp America" This is what I will do in the summer of 2013, looking after children in the camps with special needs (which is where the experience I'm getting now and the money I'm looking for will come in really handy). Seventhly, After Camp America ends (in september) I will be starting University in October. I intend on doing a psychology degree in England, and eventually I intend on moving out to New York with my psychology degree and working and living in New York.
You have no idea how much happier just having this plan has made me. I feel like I have a bit more of a purpose now, I'm not just drifting, I'm doing something and I'm working towards something. Do you have something to work towards? Why do you wake up in the morning? What are you hoping to achieve in, not just your day, but in your life? Have a goal, you'll be surprised at how much better having a goal can make you feel. I really do see the posibilty of ending up in America now, and this is something I've spent my whole life dreaming about. Some dreams can come reality.
Not all dreams of course, I had a dream when I was in primary school that when I was 11 years old Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry would write to me to inform me that I'd been accepted into their school. I wasn't unfortunately, I never got to ride on the Hogwarts Express on Platform 9 and 3/4 or wave my magic wand or meet goblins and Professor Dumbledore. But those were my childish fantasys, the wonderful things which imagination brings. This plan is not a childish fantasy, it is achievable and plausable and because I know this it makes me more determined to do this.
I will get to America, I swear I will, It's been my dream my whole life, and now I can see a way into it and because of that I am so so happy. I can see me actually getting somewhere now.
Try and have a plan, honestly you'll feel the benifits of it.
Keep Smiling :)
Love, Tutti-Frutti
