Goals. Everyone has them right? At least, I hope you do. Who are you without goals? Hopes? Ambitions? How would you wake up every morning, pull yourself out of your bed, and go out into the world without something that kept you going strong. I'd like to share with you some of my goals...
Goal One. Broadway. Yes, I know I'm dreaming big, but it's my dream to make it big on Broadway. I don't care if I'm dancing in the background our belting my heart out front and center. I want to be on the stage for the rest of my life. I don't want to be rich. I don't want to be famous. I just want to be able to perform, always.
 
Goal Two. ASL. I really want to become fluent in another language. One language that caught my attention in High School was American Sign Language (ASL). I took ASL I my Senior year and I loved it. I am conversational and I love being able to talk to and help Deaf people. It also appeals to my acting side because ASL is such an expressive language. Everything from body language to facial expressions can affect the meaning of what you are signing.
Goal Three. Piano. I've always wanted to learn how to play Piano. Other instruments are cool but they seem way to complicated for me. Piano doesn't seem so scary to me. I also enjoy piano music very much so I would like being able to produce it myself. 

So, those are some of my goals. And I hope you have a few of your own that you use to shape your choices and paths in this world. See you in class.

Later Days,
Brenden Hampton

  1. You asked how someone without goals could get up in the morning without something worth getting up for. Well, it isn't easy, I can tell you that much. More along the lines of sheer power of will than wanting to. You also mentioned how someone without goals more or less doesn't have an identity, that is somewhat true, but not completely. I've lost myself before, I managed to find myself again, without obvious things like goals, you have to hold onto more subtle things; likes, dislikes, personality, and don't let people try to change them. Not that you needed to hear any of this, you are very goal oriented.
