I like nature, I want to help the world, both sides of my family have avid gardeners (Grandma and Grandpa have an anazing garden plus an alotment that provides them with enough food to not only eat but also sell for extra cash, Grandad runs the veggie garden at the Wakes Museum, and his brother is the head rose gardener for the queen herself). There's a growing market for green and eco-friendly things, and well there's other factors in this but it'll get boring. The thing is that I think I can become an eco-friendly garden/landscape consultant or omething of the sort. Nursery specialist for the green-minded, I could work for a big company or, more likely for me go solo. I've already begun to study with just the internet and I've already learned some pretty amazing things over the past few days. I need to go to college for chemistry and some other unpleasant things like that. To be honest though, while mum and Nick are being amazingly supportive (Nick's actualy way more optimistic than usual about this idea of mine) I'm pretty sure my friends are going to be kinda in the not really caring area, which is fine, but I really doubt Ku will understand. I don't know why, it's just the way he is. I think he'd rather me do something he can see benefitting him, like the cullinary idea, but with hardly any sence of smell I could never go far with that. I've got a horrible fealing that even if I was succesful with the gardening thing he'd never really take it seriously. Maybe oneday, when I can actualy get things to stay alive and grow I can make a nice place for the two of us and he'll like it. I think I'll just not really mention too much of this to him so he can't be too dissapoimted with me.
Maybe trying to help save and preserve the world is futile, maybe it is too late, but what's wrong with hoping and trying to do something about it? What's wrong with making a living out of doing something I feal is important and helping to educate others?
