So I was thinking about how corrupt the society has gotten to be. Though I am young, I have seen a lot of things and heard a lot of things that make me think.
I mean seriously think.
I started to think about what I was doing with my life.
I have recently begun to read a wonderful biography about a man named Ben Carson. The book is called 'Gifted Hands'. It's also a movie, and a good one at that.
He is a man who came from the gato's and grew up to be a nerosurgreon. Or for those who don't quite know what that is, a person who operates on the brain.
It really had me thinking.
I really want to be a surgeon. That has been my goal since I was a child, though most children want to be president, firemen, and popstars, I just wanted to be a surgeon.
I know now how much work it takes to become a surgeon. Any surgeon. How much you have to read, do work, and overall just be the best of the best.
And me, being known as a horrible procrastinater, I haven't done much to really point me in that direction.
I mean, yeah, I read a lot, more than most people my age do, but it's all fiction. I may have increased my vocabulary, writing, and reading comprehension , it really hasn't done much to steer me in the direction I want to go.
Why haven't I been doing much? Well, I know myself is only to blame, but my constant addiction to machinery, such as the very one you are on now, and my wants, I don't think I have been going very far.
And I am not the only one.
My generation was the start of this corruption, and sadly, mostly everyone else is going through the same thing. Okay, maybe not the procrastination part, but the computer and wants, yes.
Most people just don't realize it.
So my goal is to stop wasting life on things like Facebook, and start learning, being more knowlwedgable.
I'm not going to stop going on the computer, because things like graphic art, and music, and my writing, is increasing my knowledge.
But it will no longer be my first priority.
So today, I am going to start my path to becoming a more educated person, and exeed my goals.
I think I see now, what my father has been trying to cram into my head for my whole life.
Could this possibly be my first step to maturity?
Possibly.
