People always talk about their goals in life. What they want to be when they grow up. How they want to make people proud. Some have a huge list, while others have a small one. What’s on that list is another story.
I have goals. Not many. My main goal from when I was in high school was already achieved. I wanted to be a Marine and I became one right after I graduated. I drove for the Marine Corps. I wanted to be a mechanic, but I ended up becoming an operator instead. Honestly, it was better. I got to be like my dad, who is an over the road truck driver. He’s been to every state except for Alaska and Hawaii. It was fun. I enjoyed every minute of it. I’d go back and do it again if I could. It’s a chance of a lifetime. No many get to do what I did and I take pride in that. My parents are so proud of me. Some didn’t think I would make it. There wad a point I didn’t think i would either, but I did. I did something only one percent of the nation will go do. As long as my parents were happy for me, that’s all that mattered to me. I accomplished something I worked hard for. It took me two years to get into shape and it was worth it.
My goals now are much simpler. I have a soon to be 7 year old at home and I want to raise her right. I want to watch her grow and follow her dreams. She is the light of my life. I also want to become a successful Author. I have already published three books. After the Marines, I never thought I would be that proud of myself again. Well I thought wrong. After publishing my first book, I was over the moon and I have my mom to thank for it. She pushed me to do it. She pushed me to write and she would edit my books for me. Well the first two anyway. She past away about a year ago and didn’t get to read the third one. It was devastating the publish it without her. But I did it and I know she wants me to continue to write. So that’s what I’ll do.
What are you goals? When you look to the future, where do you see yourself?
