I would love to share with you one of my biggest dreams. It never was a dream of mine until maybe a few months ago.
Lets rewind a little....
Back in 4th grade I had a teacher, Mrs. Walz. Lets just say I gave her a run for her money. I loved being difficult and causing her problems. I hated math and often threw a fit over my math homework. One night at parent teacher conference I told her Math was stupid and that I didn't need it. She then proceeded to say that when I go to college that I would need basic math knowledge. So I said that I am not going to college. Then she says well you'll need basic math knowledge to pay bills for my home. So once again I said: I am going to marry a man who will do all the bills. and I will be a stay-at-home mom! That ended the discussion. I guess a while ago my mom ran into her at the grocery store. Mrs. Walz asked her how I was doing. My mom said fine. She's married, has two kids, and is a stay-at-home mom. Mrs. Walz then said well I guess she got what she wanted.
From that time on that is all I wanted to do. I had no desire to go to college. Had no Idea what I would even go to college for.
A few months ago I was watching a show called "How the Earth was Made." and then it clicked. I want to be a Geologist! I have always loved rocks and their formations. Have always been curious about how earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains, etc happen. So this job is only fit for me.
So here comes my dream:
It is my dream to go to college, get a masters in Geo-Science, specializing in Volcanoes. I especially would love to live in Italy and work on mount vesuvis. The volcano is active and geologists are always going in and testing it making sure it's not going to erupt any time soon.
I would also love to go to Africa and see Erta Ale.
Yes Erta Ale does look like this on a daily basis! It is one of the few Lava lakes in the world! In fact when hiking up to Erta Ale you have got to watch your step because there is constant lava flow, therefore creating weak crust. If you step on the thin crust you will fall into very hot lava and scorch your leg. How amazing would that be, Not the scorching leg thing, but being able to hike up and see nature at it's finest! It would be a dream come true, I just wish this dream would come true! One day it will.
Any ways just thought I'd share my dream with everyone, cause I totally am excited that I finally found what I want to do in my life. :)
