Since I'm all grown up now, I actually have to start thinking about life. Sucks right? But in 5 short years I plan to have some things done. 1. Have love find me. People always say they want to find love. I believe that loves finds you & if you go looking for love you will find the wrong kind. 2. Have my own place. Since the military is a huge part of my life, I'm going to have to have a place to call home. Whether it's a loft apartment, condo, townhouse, or home in Asheville or Boone, I just need it to be mine. 3. Have a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice One of my biggest dreams is to be a detective or medical examiner. Detective is more realistic. So I need a degree to have a great résumé to show to the police academy before I join. I want to have all my ducks in a row before I start anything. 4. Help others in need Joining the National Guard is not just about war or killing, it stand for something much more than that. It's where ordinary people come together to create something extravagant. Helping fight forest fires, saving humans/animals from natural disasters, and fighting diseases are just a few things that the NG helps with. I want to help people. 5. Get my tattoo(s). Honestly I get the whole speech about how you aren't suppose to mark your body, every time I mention tattoos, so I don't need it from you too! I want one tattoo on my back of a dream catcher. Being 1/4 Native American has been very important to me. So this just attaches itself as a part of me. My sister also wants to get matching tattoos because we are so close. Not sure what its going to be yet. 6. Be stable in life. Finances, Love, and School all need to be stable for me to be successful. I need that desperately. These things take time to accomplish but the fact that I have already got a list of goals, helps me set up my life. Goals and checklists are my kind of things.
