My second year of AMES is coming to a close, and I just want to say one thing... wow. I knew I was going to be challenged in 9th grade, but 10th grade... 10th grade was amazing! I discovered so much about myself that it blew my mind! All my life I had wanted to be a Marine Biologist, but now I am open to so many other interesting career ideas! I have discovered a new love of writing and would love to be an Author! I can see myself being the female equivalent of Stephen King! Although in my opinion Anne Rice has already taken that spot. I'm open to being a health professional, possibly a physical therapist. Even a historian for the Smithsonian! I learned to dream big, and with enough work I will make those dreams a reality! Whatever career I end up choosing, I know it will make me the happiest person alive!
