Inspiration
I think I may have had an epiphany this past week. I'm not entirely sure what did it but something clicked. Last week I was in Tennessee and North Carolina, I went to suprise my best friend for his birthday, then he and I went to NC to snowboard for 2 days. Well apon arriving back in Nashville on Thursday I recieved a phone call from my father that informed me of my uncles passing. My uncle (get this, his name was Jack Daniel Ray), lived in Huntsville so instead of driving home then back up to Huntsville I stayed for 2 extra nights at my best friends house. Now because I was away on Friday I could not get home to take my final exam in my Economics class, therefore I failed the class.
I've been wondering what the purpose of a college education was here lately. Simply because if I want to learn something they make me take classes that have nothing to do with the subject I'm interested in. Then I remembered that alot of famous dead people who changed the world or just impacted history, well they were self taught. Then it really occurred to me, everyone is self taught, sure we have teachers growing up, but they don't teach us what we know, they coach us through the information, whether or not we learn it is up to us. Everything I learned that I excel at I have taught myself, web design, graphic design, ect...
My epiphany actually occurred today when I cleaned my room. I stumbled apon some old notes I made in high school, notes for a novel. I've decided to start writing again, I havent written in a long time and I could never figure out why until now, I've had nothing to inspire me. By researching many things to better my novel I can gain all the information that I wanted to learn in college, I can continue to teach myself and better myself as a person. Now that I have the inspiration of expanding my knowlege, and another ingredient in my inspiring stew, I will be changing to a major in English, picking up and continuing my research, and finally writing my book. I really don't know if anyone will enjoy it or not but if you don't do what you're inspired to do, then why are you even alive right?
Well when I start putting in actually chapters I might get a few people to read the first ones and give some feedback, if anyones interested please let me know.
