Happy

Audwin Pierre McGee spoke to us this week in forum. I must say, it was rather amazing. He is by far my favorite speaker we have had so far. He talked about remembering our childhood dreams and trying to find a career suitable for us based on those passions. When I was a child, I remember wanting to be a singer (but my voice was pathetic at the time) or a marine biologist (but I am incapable of doing science). Now, I have a better-developed voice, and sing for fun, though not many people know it. I also SCUBA dive, and adore it. I figure if I combine my passions with determination and curiosity, I can at least enjoy these activities without making them my career choice. 

Some of my greatest passions are as follows:
Twirling & Dance
Reading & Writing 
Singing
Public Speaking!!!
Learning & Working Hard
WINNING 
Chasing Perfection

I incorporate these into activities by being a majorette and dancer, being a published author, joining many many many plays and theater productions, by becoming president/manager/leader of the different groups I identity with, and seeking improvement opportunities in everything I do. This is why I finally chose the field of marketing... AND the field of management. Yes, I do plan on becoming a double major. BOOM. 

If I have ever seen somebody chase their dreams and become a happy successful person because of it, it's Audwin McGee. He was a really inspiring guy, and I hope that I can find exactly what it is I need to do with my life, like he did. And be happy with it. 
Now I'm going to be a cheeseball and post and amazing song by Leona Lewis. You're welcome.
