I am blessed and cursed. Blessed because from an early age, I have always known what I want for my future. There's always ever been one career for me to pursue, and that's to be a journalist. I didn't need pressure or persuasion from my parents or any advice from high school counselors. It's just always been my goal. I'm cursed because now, at the age that I am, I'm faced with the daunting task of making it all happen. I can't use "not sure" as an excuse to waste time figuring myself out. I've always been sure. There's just one little problem, wanting something isn't really enough. Forget about the cheesy lines about chasing your dreams and achieving anything if you "put your mind to it." I'm playing with the big boys now, and those fairy tale motivational posters lay taped onto my dusty high school classroom walls. From here on out, the only currency they accept is a little bit of luck and a lot cold, hard, focus.
