"Where do you see yourself ten years from now?" This ever so typical interview question forever haunts me. There is so much I want to accomplish with my life that I don't know how to logically form it into a plan or even into words. I'm going to try... Well, in ten years I would love to be at a company with a stable job, loving what I do! The End. No but really. My dream job that I tell everyone about is working for a Late Night TV Talk Show, doing anything really, but preferably, working with/ for the musical guests. I have an undying love for Late Night TV and music. In ten years, I would absolutely love to be doing that. Since there are many more practical options out there, such as working for a non-profit (which would be great) or working in Sales, I'm going to continue talking about my dream job because I feel like not enough people do that. I'd like to consider myself a dreamer, right alongside John Lennon. I moved out to California from Wisconsin all by my lonesome and never looked back. I followed my heart and my instinct and have never been happier. There is a ridiculously corny quote that I remember hanging up on a poster in my favorite English teacher's classroom that read, "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars". I always thought it was really quite annoying, but it has resonated with me all this time and I still remember it. It has a lot of truth to it, at least for me in my current walk of life. I like doing things that challenge me and grow me. I don't like staying in my comfort zone. Most importantly, I like dreaming big and wishing and praying things that are greater than myself. This is why I still have a "dream job". Most kids my age don't do this anymore. The whole "dream job" thing kind of ends at high school and maybe even middle school, with the aspirations of being an astronaut or movie star. I like to have realistic, attainable goals for myself, but I also have bigger ones that I try and chip away at. What am I doing now to try and be where I want to be in ten years? Well, I'm staying up to date with the media and am growing my social media presence. I'm gaining experience and connections through internships, and I'm working hard in school to try and stand out against competitors. Every day I'm growing and asking God where He wants to lead me. I have my own, worldly goals and aspirations, however, ultimately, I want to be used for His Glory. I know what He has in store for me is much greater than what I plan to have in store for myself.
