Returning Home

One thing I have learned is that education is never ending. After high school, there is an important choice to make: to either go to college and obtain more education or to go into the workforce and obtain education in a different manner. Since the day I learned there was an ‘after-high-school,’ I decided I do what ever necessary to go to college. Although my choice of career has changed rapidly and often, I never let it desegregate my determination to go to college.

I do know, however, that I want to travel the world. This has been my dream since I stumbled onto a travel guide loaded with pictures. As a child, I thought that by merely asking to go to these wonderful places would get me there. I learned quickly that I had to find my own way and that lead me to think of my strengths. Coming up blank except for my intelligence, I have now made it my life’s goal to see as much as the world as I can.

Forever thankful to my homeland, the Navajo Reservation, I will come home and settle down after spreading my wings across this world. I plan on being just another member of my small community, just another helping hand in our small corner of the world. I have no delusions of being marked in history for some great deed or another. Fame and glory are not on my list of ‘necessities.’ I just want to help where I can and live my life to the fullest.
