Assignment #7: What is an Ambition Worth? - M'Kiyah Baird

College is slowly sounding worse and worse as I go about picking where I want to go and what I want to do. Through 16 years of life I've changed my ambitions several times. From an author to a teacher, an industrial engineer to a graphic designer, I have never truly had a grip on what I'm passionate about. That is, what I'm passionate about that could make money. I have a strong passion for art and yet a fine arts education won't get you far without a plan for a job(or so my mother says). So with my education, I'd like to work at a place like Painting With a Twist or maybe even sell my artwork. I'm excited to meet new people at college and be my own person. I've known most of my classmates since sixth grade and some even since third, and although I know I'll miss them (most of them), I want to meet new people and go places on my own. The education part itself still worries me. I'm only in the first semester of junior year and I'm already done with school. College education sounds like something I'm not ready to take on and I'm ready to be done with school. I'd like to play volleyball wherever I go but I doubt it will happen. Regardless, I believe that I can do well in college if I stay focused and work hard. More so that I already do because procrastination will probably be the death of me.
