thoughts of the future

I'm thinking of my future again.

There are so many possibilities.

Many good things that I can do.

One in particular that I've been looking at the website of for the past hours. Institute for International Cooperation and Development

wow, the amount of help that I could do with this program is so inspirational to my sense of being.

I'm having doubts about what skills I can offer them. I don't know if there is anything special about me! Gosh, this isn't the time to be doubting myself eh? Ok, so I just the motivation that I want to help and be a part of them. That's what I want to do. I want to speak to an actual person who has volunteered with the program. To get a better picture of everything. It sounds so wonderful!

I know my parents would be so disappointed in me when I tell them I want to do this. Especially so close to graduation. I know what they want me to do. They want me to find a job that makes good money so that I can support myself. That kind of life sounds too easy! There's no sense of adventure and challenge. Besides, following that kind of life makes me feel as if I'm wrapped up in my own head.

I know there are jobs and things I can do that I could easily support myself.

In my future, I know that I don't need a lot of money, I don't need a big house, I don't need a gallant life. That doesn't mean anything to me. I want to help those who are underpriveliged. That's what I want to do.

I want to see the third world countries with my own eyes. I don't want to give them pity with my eyes, but the help that I can give. Developing programs and opportunities for those kids. I can do it. I just need the training. Lo and behold, the program takes care of that. They do training and after that, everything else is learned first-hand. Can you imagine all that I will pick up? The experiences? The joy. gosh, it's mind-blowing.
