pick a prompt, any prompt!

1) Fast forward about 10 years; where do you see yourself and how did you get there?

2) What is your dream vacation and why?

3) What is the biggest distraction you face when you sit down to do homework?

In response to prompt 1, right now the thing that most intrigues me are the prospects of my future. Being a junior in high school means making big decisions that could potentially affect the outcome of the rest of my life! Right now it seems all so stressful and distant, yet it's really coming all too fast. After high school, I picture myself at a college I love; I want to be somewhere where I'm happy, comfortable, and fit in. I want it to have a nice blend of social life and academic life so I can make friends that I'll keep for the rest of my life, but also so that I can concentrate and work hard in engaging classes that I need and am interested in for my future career.

After college as of right now, I really would love to live in New York City for a little while. Doing so would would be very difficult I realize; it takes a lofty income to be able to support yourself in that city, but it's a challenge I would be excited and willing to take. Everything about the city intrigues me; the atmosphere, the people, and the hustle and bustle of everyday life! I think it'd be the perfect place for me to jump-start my career and begin my new après-college lifestyle. I can see myself walking down Madison Ave. sporting a chic new outfit, ready for my job interview at a major company.

That leads me to the 10 years part...I'd be 26. I don't know where I'll be living, but I hope that I'll be a successful magazine editor somewhere; it seems like it'd be the perfect job for me! I could see myself doing something along the lines of being given an assignment as well and then going somewhere neat to write my own article or piece. But really, who knows what the future holds. All I can do now is just dream about it and hope it turns out how I want it!
