So I thought I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I worked really hard to get to where I am and what I'm doing but...

After talking to people, talking to lots of people from all over, I'm not so sure anymore. I think I might have been thinking too small, but it feels weird to think of it like that. Like I'm limited MYSELF, if that makes any sense. I mean, it's not like we have a lot of money and I worked really hard to get the scholarships to get here in the first place.

But I'm not sure if I'm just letting this trip run away with me or if I'm finally seeing more clearly now that I've actually gone out and seen just how big the world is.

Thoughts?

College students change their minds all the time. The important thing is to be true to yourself. I know what I thought my life was going to be even two years ago is completely out the window now.

Circumstances change.

I think that all depends on what you what. People change. Goals can change, too. We rarely want the same thing our whole life, even if that's what we're taught to believe. It's only natural that when we're met with an open sky, we have the urge to aim higher.

But there's nothing wrong with limiting yourself, either. Not everyone has to take aim at something just because it's there. As long as you're happy with where you are, that's more than enough, I think.

Hello again, Clark. (People usually forego greetings here when they're in writing - is that normal? It seems odd to me.)

I agree with the sentiment above, that "when we're met with an open sky, we have the urge to aim higher". I think that if you are capable of doing more and if you are willing, you should. The amount of good that a single person can do with enough ambition and room to let it grow can be incredible.
