Dreaming

My English Class has gotten me thinking lately, about life and all the other stuff like that. It has inspired me to be a better person. It has made me want to make a difference in the world. I want to better not only myself, but others too. So I guess on this page of my blog, I am just going to be writing mushy inspirational stuff about life. I guess I can make it fun too, and I'll probably do a lot of writing about what I am doing to make this all happen.

A few people from this amazing English class got together last Friday to hang out and stuff. They really got me thinking about what I could do. The question was asked, "what would you do if you could do anything in the world, and not fail?" There were answers that ranged from curing cancer to skydiving. I wasn't exactly sure what I would do. I gave some random answer that I can't even remember now, but Saturday morning, I thought of something that really matters to me. I posted this on Facebook on Saturday morning, "My dream: inspire the world through music-to tell my story and use it to bring others up." My classmates had really gotten me thinking, and I decided that this was really something that I had a passion for that I think could add to the world in a positive way.

Another thing my English class helped me to start was a list of 50 things to do before I die. Here are the 36 things that I have come up with so far:

1. Compose a Song (vocal-jazz style)
2. Write a Hymn

36. Become fluent in another language

That's as far as I have gotten on my list of 50 things, but I think it's a pretty good start for now. I have started a few of them, and hope to be able to accomplish all of them someday.

So between music and doing these amazing things, I am going to change myself for the better, and hopefully others too! More to come on these dreams of mine!
