Life is like a box of chocolates...
Well the funny thing about that is that one of my daily goals is to see tomorrow. I know however that one day that goal will end, but I hope it is for a natural reason. However one of my main goals in life is to become a filmmaker. Not just any "everyday" filmmaker, but one who is known throughout the country. With hearing stories from many individuals inside the industry, I know that this is not going to be an easy task. But deep, down inside me I feel that this is why I’m here. It’s not even my parents that are my aspirations, because they think that it’s one of those far fetched goals that in the end I’m going to be completely let down. But you know what…screw them! What’s the point of living if your not going to have a big dream to go after? Hell I know it’s a crazy goal. In fact, I question myself everyday on it. But, just taking the baby steps to get there is the best part. It is within these steps that you learn what life is about and when you are on your death bed trying to recuperate what you have done throughout your life you can go back to those struggling days and say, "Damn, what a life." One top of that another goal I have to complete is to travel to new locations every year, whether it is in the U.S.A. or out of it. With busting my ass by working hours upon hours I do believe that hard work goes a long way. For example, last year alone I was able to take a vacation every month and luckily they were all away from the state of Illinois. Hard work and passion go along way in life and when it comes down to it you decide your fate on this planet. Sure you can learn from your parents, or even friends, mistakes but it is up to you to follow through and make that same mistake or change something about it. Well that about sums up my goal/ life story…not really, but that is the gist of things.

Screw them indeed. Remember I'm with you on that when (and if) you keep reading.
How discouraging could you parents be if you find yourself in film school? As per your thoughts on work, consider what you would take as the rewards of hard work- a life as a filmmakers and a yearly excursion. Where does this come from?
