This is an essay I had to write for my peer advising class while I was at New School. It's funny because I really thought I was going to stay there to graduate. Oh how things change
Goals, Hopes and Dreams
Writing is not my forte and sometimes it seems as though choice is equally difficult. To clearly state what I hope to accomplish here at lang or in the next 10 years of my life is nearly impossible. I guess a good goal would be to have a better idea of what I want to get out of my time at Lang. Social politics and education are probably my biggest interest besides music, which I could use as an outlet for both. I don’t want to teach music and I don’t think that I am a strong enough musician to make a career out of performing. This essay is not going in the direction I want. If I started to write it over I would end up in the same place though so it is useless. I bet everyone has a very good idea of what they want to do in their time here and what they want out of life. I really wish that I did. [subliminal message: Jon is the most awesomest peer advisor ever]. I want to have accomplished something in my time here. I don’t mean graduate or get decent grades. Of course I want to do that too, but what I really want is to do something and after I have finished think “Wow, I really like doing this and this is what I’m going to do.” Hopefully this will happen by the end of my second year so that I can declare a concentration. Something else that I would like to do in my time here at New School is start a student organization. I am not exactly sure what kind yet, but I think it would be cool to leave New School having done that. It would be like leaving a part of me or something corny like that. I would also like to be a peer advisor at some point. I wasn’t really looking forward to this peer advising thing when I first heard about it. Jon does such a good job though. He is so helpful to everyone and not just to his advisees. It is an important job. I really like Lang and I think it is a good way to show incoming students why it is such an awesome school. So I guess that is the end of my Goals, Hopes and Dreams essay. It is teh sux0rs. Oh yeah and I want to have a really cool internship. The end.
