No Dream Is Too Big

Get out there and do it

I graduate from college in 220 days but who's counting right? It's that point of my college career where I'm bombarded with the heavy question of "what am I going to do now?" For those students in the same position as me, or will be in the next few years, you'll find yourself in this dazed confusion of unanswered questions. I know where I want to be five or ten years from now, but how do I get there? How do I make those next steps? How do I actually "adult?"

I don't really think anyone has those answers and that might just be the joy of life.

So where exactly do I want to be in ten years? I want to be the owner of a child care and family service center. I'm on the fence about becoming a non-profit, but my ultimate goal is to provide services and child care to low-income and needy families. Services like financial counseling, family/individual therapy, educational and career opportunities, tutoring for school-aged children and other services down to child care.

It's a pretty ambitious goal that's for sure, but I'm passionate about giving aid to low-income families. It's a dream I can accomplish and I am motivated and determined to not give it up.

It doesn't matter what your dream or goals are after college. It doesn't matter if you even know what you plan to do after graduation. One day, you'll get there. If your goals are small and focus on each day at a time or are focused on the big picture, eventually you will get there with hard work and a huge amount of effort. Becoming the person you want to be or achieving all your goals is going to be the hardest part of the journey. You and I will want to give up every day. Nothing you imagine is ever too big or too ambitious.

As the cliche goes, "If you can dream it you can do it."

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
