What Would You Do..

If I won the lottery, there is a number of things I could put the money towards.  First off, depending on how much I won, I would a put a portion of it towards my tuition for my last two years of school.  Another thing I would do with my winnings is put it towards a family vacation to Disney.  It's a place we love to go to, but we do not get the chance to go very often.  I also would like to travel outside of the country, which I could use this money to do.  There are also many things I would like to buy myself, but am not currently able to purchase.  A variety of uses for the money come to mind, but it is hard to choose just one or two things to spend it on.

In 10 Years...

In the next ten years, I hope for some exciting life changes.  After I graduate, I hope my future will bring me success and a job that I enjoy.  I plan to be pharmacist at either a retail or hospital setting and to have a future with that career.  I also plan to settle down with a family, but not before I travel throughout the country.  Hopefully the next ten years brings excitement and enjoyment, and more to come in the future.

Rainy Days

Rainy days are not typically welcomed with open arms.  They are often associated with feelings of misery because they make anything involving leaving the house more difficult.  However, on days like these, I find other things to do that make the day a little more enjoyable.  One of my favorite things to do on a rainy days is sit in front of my fireplace and read.  I find it comforting and relaxing and very stress-free.  Other times, I will watch movies with my family if I am home.  With our busy schedules, we are often not at home at the same time.  However, on these days when we are together, we make the most of it.  I always manage to find something to do on rainy days, as long as it allows me to stay inside.

I have found that I am passionate about many things in my life.  I always put my best effort into everything I do, especially the things that I love.  However, music has had a special place in my life, and I have always been passionate about it.  I have been playing piano since I was 7, and I have always found it enjoyable.  Over the years, I have played for my church and high school, which has allowed me to expand my horizons and share my passion with others.  I plan to continue playing and never lose the enjoyment music gives me.

Childhood Memory

One of my fondest memories from my childhood is going to my grandmother's house after school.  Being her oldest grandchild, we have a very close relationship and I always enjoyed visiting her.  She would always have snacks ready for my brothers and I, and she alway knew what we liked.  She also had many toys and games that my cousin and I would play with, and sometimes use to make up our own games.  I spent many afternoons there, as well as many other occasions.  We always had a good time and we never took our time together for granted.

Valentine's Day Anxiety

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, there are many mixed feelings going around.  Those who have that special someone are usually excited for what the day holds, while those who are single often are not.  However, this day still brings stress for almost everyone.  Those in a relationship stress over making the right plans and getting the right gifts.  For anyone who is single, it is stressful for other reasons. Being alone on Valentine's Day is big source of low self-esteem, as well as disappointment.  It is a discriminating holiday biased towards those who are not single.  For this reason, many people find it unfair.

I'm a sophomore in college and I am writing this blog for my public speaking class.  This is my first time blogging.  I enjoy school, but it is challenging.  Even though I still have a few years left before I graduate, I know it will go by quickly, as the last two years have.  I am excited to see what the upcoming years hold.
