2002-07-29 14:05:11 ET I've got a full time job at the Veterinary Clinic near my house as a kennel tech. I get paid $7 an hour(my last job paid $7.50) to walk dogs three times a day, feed and water the dogs, clean cages, mop the floors, do dishes, clean windows, clean cat cages, give medications, clean the operating room, take out trash, clean the examination sinks, clean the bathrooms, and then any other stuff they want me to do. I'm like a dog janitor. It sucks sometimes but I just remind myself of my dream to be a vet(which is why I am going to be attending Texas A&M... it has an amazing Vet school). It's not really a dream but just what I could see myself doing in 25 years and still enjoying my work. My real dream was to be a studio artist and attend the University of Southern California and become a big shot cartoonist guy. But that went down the drain when I saw how much the tuition was for USC(something $40,000). Then I decided I was going to be musician but found that no matter how much I faked it... I can't sing worth crap and then my guitar playing could use a lot of cleaning up so I put that dream on hold. I play my guitar everyday as much as possible so I'm getting better which is a very cool. I just wonder if putting a dream on hold is a good thing? What happens if I never accomplish that dream because the time has come and gone when it would of been possible but I was too busy for it? |
