Find Your Purpose

Today I want to talk about my major goals and dreams that I have. In high school I was not super motivated as I am now. But my mom always told me that I had a gift. She always use to say, “every time you meet kids with a disability, they just gravitate towards you. I have never seen anything like it before.” When I finally realized what she meant, I knew I had to make something out of this. I always liked helping people so I did some research about jobs who help people which is very broad to say and includes a lot of jobs. I also did some research on motivational speakers and how they touched and changed people’s lives for the better. All of these stories were all so amazing and I knew then, I could see myself doing this. I realized my sophomore year at Augustana college that the purpose of my life, is to free people from concern. By becoming a Speech Language Pathologist I know I have the amazing opportunity to really have an impact on each and everyone of my client's lives. Helping people IS my life, and I want to inspire people every single day. If someone is ever feeling down or upset. “Busy” is not an excuse. As long as I am alive and breathing, I will do my absolute best to help that person and make them smile. I believe that I really have the drive to help people through their worst problems without any sort of judgement. I want someone to look at me and say, because of you, I did not give up. Its the best feeling in the world to help someone through something and just to be there with them makes you feel good. Today’s society is filled with judgement, hate, and disrespect. I know several people who don’t give a crap what people think about them and I knew many more who care what everyone thinks about them. In high school I always use to be like that and then I realized when I was at college that it doesn’t matter what people think and that you should’t care. Who cares what people think, do what you have to do, for you. Allow nothing or no one to slow your pace or affect your energy; stay forever consistently flowing, forever growing. I want the world to do better because I was here. And I know that once you find your true purpose in your life, it will truly be an amazing feeling.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
