future me - dreams/hopes/goals

Dear FutureMe, When I was seven years old, I was a very different person than I am today. I liked playing sports, playing house, playing chef, and being outside. In my head, I had convinced myself that I was going to The University of Western Ontario, to become a teacher; that was my big dream. My goals included playing varsity basketball, and playing professional baseball. I hoped to live on a farm when I was older, not to become a farmer, but to have a vast area of land, and have room for dogs. Today, although I see myself as an extremely different person than I was 11 years ago, my goals have stayed fairly similar. I still love playing all kinds of sports, and love to be outdoors. I no longer yearn to attend The University of Western Ontario, but rather, am looking forward to attending the University of Windsor. Although I no longer wish to become a teacher, I still want to have a career where I help children. Now, my goal is to become a social worker with a degree in music therapy. Albeit I still love to play sports, I no longer dream of playing varsity basketball, as I have a poor back, and now understand there is no professional women’s baseball team. My expectations for the future include, getting married, having children, being a social worker, having a nice car, having a nice house, and having minimal debt. Eventually, I want to become married and have a healthy, happy relationship. Although I want children, I do not want to bear children. Rather, I plan to adopt children, this also giving a child a loving home. I plan to become the type of social worker, whose job it is to go into an abusive household, take the child/children away, and then work with them to rehabilitate them and show them what they are worth. Although this job would be very difficult emotionally, it would be very rewarding and fulfilling. I plan on having a nice car and nice house, as they are parts of the comfort of living, and I plan to have minimal debt, as that means less stress and worries. I realize that to achieve everything I dream and hope for, I will have to work very hard, and never give up, but in the end, it will be well worth it. Love, Jessica :) ps. How are things going? - talking to dad yet? - still at Staples? - still talking to Sabrina? - still talking to Tamiesha? - have a car yet?
