future plans.

I feel like often when I hear people talk about their future plans, some people tell them "oh you wont do any of that, by that time you'll be married" or "ya that's what you say now, you just wait" or they just laugh. But if you're a dreamer or you have goals that may seem almost impossible, go for it. I have so many things I want to do and explore, for instance I want to travel. Everywhere and anywhere. I want to spend my summers in crazy places, or helping in 3rd world countries. This summer I'm going to Branson, Missouri for clogging. Now that's not a far away exciting country but I can still find little things about it to make it an experience of a life time. However, summer of 2013, I want to go to India with the Rising Star organization. I'll be saving my money but I'm sure it'll change my life forever. I will help in the leprosy colony, children in India, and helping build school, homes, and other service projects. The next summer, 2014, I want to go to Ecuador or Guatemala and work in the orphanages down there. I'll have to save up for that too but I'll be down there for at least a month if not more. I also hope to go to BYU and maybe do a study abroad or travel with the folk dance team. I have always dreamed of doing these things and I'm going to make them happen. I'll have to save all my pennies and who knows where my life will take me, but you know what they say "Shoot for the moon and you'll land on a star." However I must not forget about today, about who I can help around me right now. Doing this will be the most meaningful pavement in my life.
