Leap of Faith


Have you ever felt like you're about to take a huge leap in your life? I never really explained why I'm going to Africa. I graduated from the University of Iowa in May 2005. I have had this dream of becoming a lawyer ever since I was young. I wasn't the best student back then, but boys will be boys. It wasnt until I made it to college that I saw that I had the potential to make my dream come true. I studied my ass off and got great grades and I was more than ready to go to law school. But I didn't know what to do right after undergrad. The smart move would have been to stay in Iowa and continue my education. I would go through the rest of my life being a boring lawyer making a crap load of money. I want more in life. I want to experience something I've never experienced. I want to go places that I would never have the guts to visit. I want to learn what's outside the box. I've always been that way. Going to Africa has more benefits then anyone can imagine. Not only will I experience the world, I will come home a changed person. Then I can continue my education and make the butt load of money I'm hoping for. It's a huge leap, I know. Though, the experiences I bring back with me can only make me stronger. I will have the personal and spiritual growth I've always needed. I can get into a law school that can actually teach me to become a great person before they teach me to become a lawyer. Plus, all law firms out there will see my resume and put me ahead of the rest. They'll see that I gave up two years of life, friends, family, girls and material goods so I could dedicate myself to a specific goal. Who doesnt want to hire someone with aspiration to always want the best? I WILL follow my dreams and nothing is going to get in the way. I'll never give up on the things I want most. These two years will prove that. Just have faith! Posted by Picasa
