Right now my ambitions are to: Get into school (college). I am old..23, but am still determined to do it! First I need to take my ACT test in October because I wasn't motivated in HS and my guidance counselors weren't either! I will be going for a degree in elementary education and early childhood development. I LOVE working with kids and seeing them learn Move out! I did live on my own (with a roommate) for a year, but after that didn't work out (mother's roommate was a pain and I also had a few deaths in the family), but now I'm back at home with my dad and sister. They are driving me nuts, lol! Somewhere on my list is to find a guy..love, dog, kids and the picket fence..or some variation It's not the MOST important one right now, but I'm open to it at any time ~Sarah~

Inhaling and exhaling for as long as possible. ;D I'm not sure I have any concrete ambitions- I like doing what I do now, it doesn't have any particular end goal so maybe the inhale exhale thing is actually true.... My one never going to happen dream is to go into space and see the world from the outside. Maybe Richard Branson and the lottery might help me on that one or any donations.......

You better hurry up there; life's passing you by.

I wanna add a "me too" for this novel-writing thing. Gorsh I'd love to write a whole novel... I just can't seem to get anywhere with it at the moment. At first it was dialogue that was giving me hell, but I think I'm better with that; now it's plot and well--everything else. I've got two writing courses in the fall... er, in two weeks (one for stories and one for one-act plays *dies*). So I'll see how that goes... I wonder how many people keep a novel swimming in their heads for years and years, maybe their whole life, and never manage to put it on paper? Probably a lot of great books-that-could-have-been out there, somewhere... Reading that reminded me of a recent radio show I listened to. It was about some guy who banged out his first book in about 2 weeks and went on to sell millions. I can't remember his name... or much detail at all unfortunately as it was only on in the background. Apparently he was a bus driver or something and had an idea for a book for years but never got around to doing anything about it. It was only when he was misdiagnosed with terminal cancer and told he had months to live that he actually wrote it. I wish I could remember the first response he got too because it would of stopped me dead in my tracks. It was something along the line of: we don't usually take the time the time to reply in detail when we reject someone but when a person is so completely and utterly useless as yourself we feel a moral obligation to warn you against wasting anymore of your time writing novels. So anyway, yeah I agree there probably are alot of great or at least good books that have never been written. As for myself I have pretty much given up on any ambitions I once had. When I was younger I would of enjoyed studying quantum physics, genetics or psychology. I love the idea of discovering something. It doesn't have to be big or profound. I was inspired when I saw a tv program with a bologist talking about when he proved the effect climate has on snail's shells. It's not really of any significance but it really resonated with me when he talked about the joy of discovering something nobody else has. As silly and as pointless as it sounds I love that idea. Kind of like having a teeny weeny bit of the universe all to yourself for a while. These days the only thing I have that resembles ambition is to make my own computer game. Even when I was a kid I used to think of game ideas and draw charcters etc. I seriously doubt it will ever happen as modern games are far too overwhelming for one person, plus I'm lazy and unskilled. Whenever I daydream though I keep coming back to one idea in particular. Maybe what I need is to be misdiagnosed with a terminal illness. You gotta love procrastination lol

My ambitions in life are to get my own house, and find someone who will love me. I'd also like to help other people who have gone through what I have, but i'm not sure how to go about it. I'm too emotional to be a Samaritan and i'm too crazy to be a psychiatric nurse/psychiatrist.
