World-Bound
i have been thinking about this recently...
...not sure why...
maybe with graduation arriving oh so soon, or college apps -but i digress
i really want to leave Dundalk.
i look around Dundalk and i see my parents and their parents...
and they are exactly where they were 40 years ago...
(my house is only 7 houses away from where my dad grew up, where my grandmother lives)
and...i think i could do so much better than that...
all my high school career i wanted to become a teacher and come back to PHS and teach...
...now, not so much
I want to help people...that is one thing i know for certain.
but teaching i think would get boring...and teenagers are so dramatic
id like to quote the great "All Time Low" when they say:
"Hey, kid, you've got a lot of potential
but I think its time to move up,
so go on and blow us away with your sound"
...and so im a blowin'
*WITH ALL THAT SAID*
however, i dont think im too big for Dundalk...im humbled by hubris.
i know i can do better, but im not all quite sure i want better..
Dundalk is not just a place to me...its a state of mind and personality.
its that drive to succeed and persevere...to make something out of your life, to have a family, and to live happily..
Some goldfish will actually grow according to the size tank they are put in...
So...as cliche as it is..
im just a lil fish in a lil pond, looking at the ocean, testing the water...
I end with a Quote from My College Essay
