In retrospect

The meaning of a language is based on the necessity of communication among humans. Humans are developing, intelligent, sentient beings, far different from any other organism on the earth. We have been able to retain knowledge physical, emotional, mental and spiritual and pass it down through the generations unlike any animal, plant, protist, etc. aside from the default, instinctive evolving over countless years. In English is it our job to commence in the progress of our ability to express ourselves, our ideas of technology and life, for such exponential advances in the past hundreds of years have been a result of such work. We've learned that, as in environmental science, development is now not necessarily a sign of progress, but as a powerful species existing among a fragile world, we must find a balance, through our emotions and knowledge of the earth around us.
These blogs are catalysts in which us students have used as a way to express and analyze our thoughts, feelings, motives, actions, and events around us. In a sense, this form of communication, spawn of technology, helps us discover ourselves in this world to a point that we might learn and grow, to pass on our knowledge through our future works in society. If we did not choose to develop, using the English language as a medium, we would make no difference in the day of tomorrow and we'd essentially still have men hunt and women gather as we struggle to survive against nature. The development of today is a result of the hard-working, expressing, thoughtful people of yesterday, and for them the day before that, etc.
In today's world one can afford to make very litte contribution to society due to technology abused, misused, and taken for granted. Let's hope we do our parts in making the world a different place, for the better, as the few non-conformists did by spreading into many more throughout the ages, tremendously widening the horizons of theirs', and others', posterity. These blogs have kept me hoppin', refusing to let me remain stagnant in mind, body and spirit as time passes by. Thanks, Mr. Rich, for showing us a way much brighter than what natural human tendencies, that have plagued mankind from the beginning, would have us do.

What do I want to do?

There are the lucky few that always know exactly what they want to do when they grow older, even when it is constantly changing, and then there are people like me who might be interested in everything and haven't the foggiest idea of what they might possibly want to go into. Due to my tolerance for most fields of work I've gained no ground in the trek to the top of my mountain, probably because I don't even know which one is mine yet. Math, history, just about all sports, computer among other sciences, engineering, band, medical professions, aviation, astronomy, foreign languages and cultures, the marines, etc. all have had their own say through my mind. At least I know I don't want to be a politician. Maybe on this blog I might be able to remove another straw of the haystack concealing my relatively soon future aspirations, in the working world. As various mathematics uses imaginary numbers to determine some answers, so will I attempt to weed out an understanding for what I am most interested via this unreal method.
With humanitarian aid for all across the world, filling my private jet to capacity, I'll use my knowledge of foreign languages, cultures, mechanics and sciences to the benefit of others as I travel abroad. This is my dream job, but I haven't quite been able to squeeze some sort of aerospace studies or experiments in there. It is shown here that for the most part I think I'll wish to find myself in the service of others, and no, not exactly a waiter. I'm not sure if I could devote myself to a specific teaching field like English, math, or history as teachers do, though it takes an amazing individual to become and be one a worth while one, but probably something that is steeped in the numerous cultures of the earth. My next most prominent interest is in foreign languages, which I'd hopefully use in my service, federally employed or not, for the various cultures found in this wonderful country. This is too bad, because I can't really think of any occupation that fits this kind of description, though I hope it is closer to reality than my dream job... or do I?
In conclusion, I'll pursue my general education with possible emphasis in foreign languages, and a mechanic or engineering sort of job, because I've remembered that I've loved to fool around with all sorts of electronics from laptops, to metal watch wristbands. As I've been so spontaneous as to remember such a hobby, so might be my future plans as I spuriously find myself yearning to know more about certain subjects; between a few and several years ago I wanted to be a paleontologist.
