I can feel it. I was really thinking about my plans for the future tonight, while watching a political campaign for Barak Obama. And the more I thought, the more I questioned my previous plans for what I wanted to persue. When I go into my portfolio conference on Monday, I'm required to talk about how the classes I'm taking now relate to what I want to do after High School. However, I ran into a little problem.
They Don't.
I hate Chemistry, which I feel might be vitally important to a doctor. I have taken 10 elective courses, Bio-med not being one of them. I don't have the slightest idea what I am going to say when I'm standing in front of Stanzyck. But then I came to a realization. I'm not "passionate" about medicine. I don't go to hospitals feeling giddy and excited. I'm passionate about helping people, and making lives better. Obviously there must be a career better suited to my passions and beliefs, right?
And it hit me. I just spent 30 minutes watching and informational video on the election. And I do it often. I become enthralled, and impassioned when I have to deal with my political beliefs. Because they literally affect every element of social life in America. I mean, how couldn't one get into their beliefs? There is a whole field of study that I could dedicate my life to that revolves around it. Politics are constantly changing, and so would my views. Now, I'm not saying I want to be President of the United States, or even Governor of Washington. Political advisor, maybe? Campeign organizer? It's a new idea for me...
And I like it :)
