My dream...

... is to change the world.
I want to change the way people think.
I want modern society to develop a new world-view, a new thought process, a new perspective.
Basically, what it comes down to is… I want to prove everyone wrong.

I know that’s sort of a negative thought. No one wants to be told they're wrong. It also sounds a bit prideful… But just hear me out.

Consider this. I’m 18 years old. I don’t even know what grade I’m considered in school because I’m just that messed up and behind. I’m most likely not going to graduate. I’ll be lucky if I can even get my GED anytime soon.

Even if I do end up graduating somehow, what then? I have no plans for college, and not even the slightest idea what I want to do with my life career-wise.

When I was five years old, I took ballet lessons. I haven’t taken any lessons since, though one of my greatest passions is dancing.

I played piano for seven years on and off, then quit altogether when I was 14. Didn’t even touch a piano for four years.

I took professional, private voice lessons for a decent amount of time when I was younger. Though I’ve always been too afraid to sing very much in front of anyone, even my family.

I’ve never had an “actual” job. In the couple of years I’ve been applying here and there to various businesses, the only company that would hire me has me signed on as a private contractor. Which really just means that I hardly ever work, and if I do get to work, I should consider myself pretty lucky.

I’m not good at anything. There are a few things I’m kinda okay at, but nothing really brilliant. Except writing. I am really good at writing, somehow. But let’s face it… if all I can do is write, that’s not going to get me very far in life.

Just based on these few little facts about me, most people would think of me as… well, as a failure. I have absolutely nothing going for me, right? No future. I have nothing to offer the world.

But that’s where I’m going to prove everyone wrong…

I’m going to show America and the world that you can go from absolutely nothing, to everything. I don’t have to be the best, but I’m going to be better than any dancer who started so late in life should be. People are going to look at me, my credentials, and laugh. Then they’ll read something I write, hear me sing, see me dance, listen to me speak… and they’ll know there’s something special about me. I may not drive a fancy car or live in a nice house. I may not even have a car or house. I won’t have the most coveted job and my name probably isn’t going to pop up all over the place. But I’m going to be amazing at life.

I’m going to be a teacher. I don’t know what I’m going to teach. It won’t be any subject in school. It’s probably not going to be a job at all. But somehow, my life is going to teach somebody something.

Society tells me every day I should be scared, terrified even, of my future. Or lack thereof. I should be ashamed, embarrassed, depressed.

I can’t wait to prove everyone wrong.

I’m going to make something out of my life. Something nobody’s going to expect. And the glory’s all gonna go to my Father, because He predestined me for greatness. Even if society says otherwise.
