Planning the next twenty years of my life is scary. There are so many factors that I can’t take into account because I don’t know if those hypothetical factors are going to become real or not. Assuming that everything goes smoothly, I will get into UC Santa Cruz and obtain a degree in Liberal Arts, then go on to get my teaching credential. After that, I’ll be able to work at an elementary school. I’ve always really enjoyed being around young kids; I feel like they give me a new perspective on life, and I feel like I’ll be able to impact the future in a positive way in my work as a teacher . If this does not happen then I will become politically involved in the state of California. I've grown up in California and I think that it s one of the only paces in the US that I would be able to make it as a politician considering my world views. Twenty years from now I hope to be both financially and emotionally stable enough to support myself and a family. I want to be able to raise healthy, happy children, and I feel like the first step in that process is to be happy and healthy myself. So, in the meantime, I also want to work on self-care and self-love. Overall, I just want to be a happy person.
