My Next Step.....

So graduation nears and Its becoming more real everyday. The question that keeps popping into my head is what's next? I keep going back and forth as to what exactly I want to do. I know what my life goals are but what's the next step to reach it? My overall goal in life is to influence generations after me to be the best that they can and be living proof that achieving your goals is possible with a little hard work, determination, and creativity. I know it's a broad goal but and that's probably why I don't know what my next step is. What I do know is that I hope to find my way to law school and eventually get into politics but that's about a year away.

Another goal of mine is definitely arts advocacy. The arts has led me on a wonderful path and I don't believe I would be successful without it. The arts has implanted skills such as critical thinking and problem solving just by perfecting my craft. The arts has also given me perspective just by meeting all the different people at music schools and seeing all the different things life has to offer.

Today I thought to myself, I know I will definitely find my way somehow but achieving greatness does not exactly fulfill my life goals. How is the public going to know that becoming the best you can be is possible through my efforts if I have not spoke about it. The next step then became apparent to me. Besides finding myself a job, I need to begin documenting my experiences. My mass media classes have displayed wonderful people doing charity and sharing ideas through something as simple as blogging. In today's society its ridiculously easy to get ideas across. In the past, you might have to pitch an idea through a broadcast medium or written a letter to get a point across. After that era, people had to create their own space, maybe through a website. With websites you have to worry about designing and other difficulties that everyone may not be comfortable with doing. In today's society I can share an idea by just creating a username and password, writing and idea, and clicking share. This phenomenal way of sharing is social media. Social media not only presents an easy and convenient way to share ideas but your ideas reach masses of all demographics.


So what should be my next step?
