So I've been thinking about what I want to do after highschool...I thought about maybe taking a course in art (photography or painting) but I would REALLY like to take time away from school for a while...go somewhere different, experience a different culture and, most of all, I want to help people.

And the Tree of Life burst from my chest

     Longing to touch the world around

        Tearing through the soil of my flesh

   My heart hung like a fruit in harvest

         And although it was not yet mature

       I offered it to your request

          In desperation I water it with tears

As my profession, I help others with their social issues. For my friends, I go above and beyond what is expected of me in many ways. However, I always find that it never comes back my way to a comparable degree - mainly when I need help. I don't take it personally, or bring attention to that fact. I turn the other cheek, and carry on, continuing to do the best job I can.
