I never gave much thought to who I want to be.
It always came ... naturally.
Always it was evident that I wanted to be a writer.
Yet, schooling to become this seemed unneccesary.
I know how to write.
I know tenses and verbs and punctuation.
My vocabulary is expansive.
Who needs to go to college to learn how to write?

But, in these here times in an unsturdy economy, college is a must.
It seems you are to be looked down upon without a college education.
And I've always wanted to go to school, of course.
I wish I could do it professionally - I never want to stop learning.

So what does one who knows what they want to do with their life go to school for when what they want to be does not require schooling.

Double Major.
Mass Communtications.
Graphic Design.
Minor.
Theatre Education.

And when adults ask what I want to do with my life,
this is what I tell them.

"What kind of jobs will this give you?"
Well, I can be an advertising agent.
Make the new ads to make you yearn for products you don't really need.
Waste money.
And I will be able to direct shows.

I won't lose myself in a job I hate and don't understand.
I won't change who I am or what I love in anyway.

And I can still write.
Right?
