I'm doing 12 things
Watching television growing up I would always love shows because the parents would look at their children and say “You can grow up to be whatever you want to be… dream big” or “You can do anything your put your mind to”. My family was more realistic. My parents have always been encouraging and loving and helpful in anything we wanted to do. But there was never the “dream big” talk. So when I got to high school and all my teachers and friends started saying “What are you going to do with your life?” I started saying “I DONT KNOW!”. So I started to dream big. I started to think about what I love. My first job was at a coffee shop. I LOVE people. I love to be around people, the conversations that start over a cup of coffee and a piece of cake are amazing. I love to see new friendships start, even if those people only see eachother once a week at the coffee shop. I want to open a place that provides a home to people, its inviting and fun, somewhere that people can come and hang out without having to order anything. Where people come for weekly games and conversation. But I want it to be more than that. I want it to be a live music venue and one of those places with sheet music you cant find anywhere else and music lessons in the back and records, walls of records and cd’s. I want it to be a real place for real people. I want it to make a difference.

I thought about this more, and it’s not exactly what I want anymore. Boston can be two things, a total home town-know your next door neighbors type of place, or a semi-city life that you hate because it’s not a real city. But it is unbelievably beautiful and amazing. I still want to visit, but not live. Instead I want to live in a major City and work with the inner-city kids.!
Can you believe it, finally I did it. It was so amazing. The day before my 21st Birthday this past summer my Best Friend Megan took me skydiving. There is this horrible video of my cheeks flapping in the wind and me screaming. It was intense. I felt so in control of the world just floating up in the sky… I’ve wanted to do it everyday since. We went at 6am. I forgot shoes, so on the way we had to buy some. My whole family came and video’d us from the ground. It was the best adventure I’ve ever had like that!
