I want....
I want to live in Paris and write a novel there, like Fitzgerald did. I want to be a teacher in an inner city school somewhere on the East coast and help those students get the education that they deserve. I want to go on a service trip to a third world country. I want to go skydiving. I want to live in New York and teach English courses at NYU. I want to adopt a child from a third world country. I want to eat pizza in Italy. I want to learn another language. I want to see "Casablanca." I want to fall in love. I want to get my Masters degree and then my Doctorate. I want to go hiking in Yellowstone and Yosemite. I want to see a baseball game in every single baseball park. I want to go to the "Louve" and see paintings by Monet, and then I went to sit by a pond and try to paint my own "lily pond." I want to learn to cook. I want to visit the homes of the great British authors: Dickens, Austen, Bronte, and of course Shakespere. I want to attend Mass in Rome. I want to challenge myself everyday and learn more about myself and my faith everyday. I want to stand at the top of the Sears Tower when I'm eighty years old and wrinkled and I want to look out over the city of Chicago and smile and think, "I've really lived."
