So you know how everyone says "Follow your dreams" and " only you can make it happen." Well after fifteen years i finally did it. I finally pursued what i have always wanted to do. Write. I have been writing since i was in fifth grade. I have always wanted to be a published writer.
Today i went for an internship position at the Somerville News paper. It is an unpaid internship but i get to write. I will get assignments and i get to pick which ones i want. I am so excited for this opportunity! I am finally pursuing what i have always wanted to do.
I've always felt like i couldn't do it and that people wouldn't support me and that everyone would think it is stupid and a waste of time. Finally, i just decided that i don't care anymore, i want this. I am more sick of people telling me to follow my dreams and i don't listen. If there is anything I've learned over the past three months, it's that you never know when your going to go and there is not always a tomorrow, but there is a today. Even if i never get a chance to write my article and be published, at least people can say i tried and i wanted it badly enough that i went after it. I can be proud of that.
