Since I was very little, I’ve always been asked the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” As a child, the obvious answer was that I wanted to be just like my mommy, or maybe Rachel Weisz from The Mummy (1999). Now that I am a “grown up” my vision has changed a bit. When I think about all of the things that I want out of my life, I sometimes become very anxious, all of my worries buzzing through my mind like a hive of angry hornets. I have a general idea of everything that I would like, but I’m still figuring out just how to get there. It wasn’t until I began reading Jason Dorsey’s My Reality Check Bounced! The Twentysomething’s Guide to Cashing in on Your Real-world Dreams that I started being able to form my “snapshots” and…show more content… Out of all of my snapshots, I can see this one the clearest; a living room that has shelves against a wall, each one labeled with a name, toys hanging precariously off the edges.

Among my adventures, I plan on making many family traditions that my children can take with them into their homes. One of the most important traditions I plan on integrating into my family is the tradition of a book exchange. By doing a book exchange, we can always talk about the things we read that makes us happy. Being happy makes up a large portion of my third…show more content… When I think about my greatest memory, I want to look back and smile at the late nights standing in the kitchen, laughing about something that one of the kids did. I don’t want to have one, specific, great memory. I want to have hundreds of little ones that seem insignificant, but show the greatest part of my life, and that is that I lived it to the absolute fullest. I want to leave the legacy of my children to the world, raising them so that someday, they can find the strength and courage to make all of their dreams come true. When I finally pass away, I hope beyond all hopes that the main thing that people will talk about when they remember me is how hard I loved, how much I smiled, and how I put my all into everything I
