My Future Career...Hopefully

Over spring break I am taking campus tours along the east coast, schools like Coastal Carolina, South Carolina Beaufort, and Auburn, all for golf. I'm checking out programs to see not only where people want me, but where I want to be. With this comes questions like what I want to study. I know what I want to do, and so do my parents, but lately it seems as if they want me to take a reality check and pick a safer field. It is so hard for me to describe out loud why I want to do what I want, I can't get it right when I talk to my parents, so I thought I'd blog about it instead...so here it goes...

I have changed what I want to do so much throughout my life. I wanted to be a chef, after I dropped that I wanted to be a surgeon, then an architect, or a lawyer. I kept changing what I wanted to do, but the past year I have realized why I kept changing what I wanted to do. I wanted a career that I saw on TV from a character I liked; I wanted to be a chef because of Monica from Friends, a surgeon from Grey's Anatomy, and so on and so forth. Once I realized that, I knew that I didn't want to be all of those things that I saw on TV. I wanted to be the person behind the show, inspiring people all around the world.

I have a few shows that stand out to me over others, I follow at least 30 shows, but three of them I pretty much am obsessed with. Friends, How I Met Your Mother, and of course Bones. I was always addicted to Friends, my family would all watch it together and we all know more than we should about the show. I fell in love with HIMYM and Bones in a different way. I was flipping through the stations late May on a Thursday and Bones was on. One scene was all it took for me to get off the couch and go to my computer and not leave until I had seen every single episode.

I am a little weird about TV, but it along with the golf course, is where I am most comfortable. All I want to do with my life is give someone that show that they become engrossed in. I want to give someone else that feeling that I get when it is Thursday and I can't focus at school because I am so pumped for Bones to come on. I want to inspire people with my writing, give someone a future, make them feel like I do about TV. That is ALL I want with my life.

I don't care how radical it is or the possibility of there is to have a show be successful, I will do everything it takes to get there. I stink at math, I'm terrible at science, besides sports, writing is all I have to build a future upon. I want to be that one in a million chance and mom and dad, if you give me a chance to pursue my dream, I will not let you down. I promise.

Five years from now, maybe sooner if I release the show I have already created and I get some help on it, I will have a show on the air.
