So I don't know how many people even look at my blog considering I have only told a few people I even have one because I haven't consistently blogged since creating it. I feel like blogging at the moment.
So when I was younger I remember people telling me I could be anything I wanted to be. I thought they had no reason to lie to me and believed it. I decided at a young age I wanted to play football for the Dallas Cowboys or basketball for the Utah Jazz. At some point in middle school, probably the point where everyone was getting a lot taller than I was, I decided that people had lied to me. I let go of those dreams. I never really made a new vision for myself after that point. I kind of stopped dreaming. I didn't know what on earth I even wanted to be anymore.
Now, I see that I can be almost anything I want to be in life. Several things have opened my eyes. One of them is one of my best friends David Perez who is now in his second year of law school at Yale. Another thing that has helped me see this is the success I have had at Wells Fargo in the last year or so. Another thing I've realized is that I have a mental edge over people. I am saying this not to be cocky or over confident. I realize this is a blessing and should take advantage. I have to work less hard to learn things and do well in school than other things. Because of this I often don't work as hard and end up procrastinating. I'm getting off the subject.
Anyway, The problem still comes with knowing what I want to be or knowing what I want to do. I think too many people dream small. I believe I can do lots of things. My friends have lots of ideas but lack the understanding that trying those ideas out is how people become succesful or lack the drive to actually make them happen. I lack neither of those things. I seem to always use the excuse that I don't have the time. But I could make time.
So I'm going to take the LSAT and see about going to law school. I want to go into immigration law because I think I would really be able to help people that way. I have already signed up to take a couple practice tests. I plan on taking close to 10 of them to get ready. I may even pay to take the prep course. This is something I'm going to actually work really hard at. I am also going to try a couple other things to possibly make money doing the one thing I absolutely love doing which is making people laugh. I'll let you know how those things go.
