I thought Of Angels Choking on Their Halo's

         Summer has finally arrived and it is my favorite time of year. (Yes I love summer more than Christmas) With it being so very hot and it brings out all the crazy people. Along with the crazy people it also brings out my desire to yell at more people too. I have to admit that I have road rage… to a point. I hate more than almost anything when people do not use their blinkers; I had half a mind the other day to run someone off the road because of their lack of blinker usage. 
        I have had a little bit of a disappointment because of my idea to try out for Americas Next Top Model was sadly crushed by two reasons. The first was when they did not have guys on the new season, and because of the fact that I cannot act serious when a camera is in front of my face. My cousins and I decided to try and take some pictures and I just couldn’t act serious. So I have been thinking about my future (something I do a lot) and I have the problem of trying to stay in my comfort zone, I hate making big mistakes. But let’s face it no one does.  And the more I think about it the more stressful it becomes thinking about becoming someone in the medical field. I like the amount of money I will be making if I do go into that field, and it would be somewhat rewarding. Although I have talked to people in the medical field and s lot of them look down on humanity because there are lots of people who think they deserve free stuff, or the doctor will warn them that their lifestyle is unhealthy, but they continue to live that way. I always thought that working to help people would be rewarding, but it seems to be worse than retail (I shudder at the thought of retail being better). So what if I was able to work for a company that would help people make their dreams come true? I mean thinking a lot about Top Model and how to audition got me talking to people about all types of auditions, dance, singing, sports. It all was too much for me to see how they gave up on their dream after they did not make it to where they wanted to go.
 

        I want to find a place where I can help people find their niche and help them create that little desire into a professional activity they do. For example: I have always wanted to excel at something, I wanted to play the guitar, didn’t do it because I did not have the proper teachers that would stick with me long enough to work through my annoying complaints. Or photography, I love taking pictures, I loved doing my photography internship and it drives me insane when someone comes along and has near no experience taking pictures and then all of the sudden they are “experts” with facebook pages that everyone promotes just because they have friends. I am sorry but buying a professional camera and photoshop does not make you a photographer. Any idiot can do that. But there are people that I commend that continue on in school t become a photographer. Like my friend Becca Lindsay. Look up her stuff at Becca Lindsay Photography. She is still in school but her pictures will blow the majority of photographers out of the water here in “make it yourself” Utah. Sorry for the rant but this is a huge peeve of mine.

          Let’s get back to the point here; I want to make some type of place that amateur kids can go somewhere and become an expert at something. Let’s make a place that would be able to provide a way for kids to follow their dreams and have the resources to follow that dream. The American idea is that the only way to make your dreams come true are to be on TV and have producers of a television show get your name out there so you can sell more CD’s. or sell more tickets at some sort of dance performance. Television only lasts so long before they have moved onto the next big thing. My point here is that for a job profession I want someone to help me create a place where these things are possible. And the sky is the limit, creating a dream come true for a kid would be more rewarding than educating overweight diabetics how to eat healthier for their bodies. By far more rewarding than picking out a camera at the store and thinking you are a professional photographer. It is somewhere I think it would have appreciated as a child. Let’s get societies "angels of opportunity" to choke on their halo's and change the way things are done in the world today. (Uh oh, my philosophy class has gotten into my thinking process…)
