Assignment #18- Liz Graves

What do I want to do with my life? That is the golden question, isn't it? This will probably be the least eloquent of my blog posts, but I guess that would make sense. One cannot very easily plan out one's life, so I guess the writing of any plan for my life should be equally difficult.

Number one goal for high school: I suppose this answer depends on whether or not we are talking about academics. Academically speaking I would like to have passed all my AP exams and get a 32 or above on my ACT. In terms of my high school career as a whole, I guess I'd just like to leave satisfied. Satisfied with the friends that I've made, the work that I've done, what I've been involved in, etc. Mostly, I'd like to be able to come to my 10 year reunion looking back on happy memories. I'd hate to think I wasted any time in these four years.

Number one goal for college: I'd like to figure out who I am apart from Lexington and my family. I want to go out of state, not because I'm desperate to leave home, but because I think it will be fun to be truly on my own. The idea of being responsible for my own survival is a little intimidating, but I think I'll be okay.

Number one goal for life: To be happy and make other people happy. I want to end my life much like I want to end high school; satisfied with how I've lived. I don't want to regret not having done something. I want to get married and have a family. I want to love my job and have fun going to work. I would also like to travel with someone, be it my best friend or my husband (although, preferably they are one in the same...). This is not really a life goal, but a death goal. I'd like people to miss me when I'm gone. I don't want anyone to be unhappy, but I want to have been a good enough person that people won't rejoice in the fact that I'm dead. Is that selfish? Probably, but there you have it.
