One Job May Change My Life


I thought if I jumped, 

I'd fly to the moon and dance among stars.

I thought if I jumped,

I'd soar above my parent's hopes for me.

I thought if I jumped,

I'd become something better than I could have dreamed for. 

The only problem is the launch. 

I'm stuck. 

And that just won't do for me. 

I want to work with animals, to raise awareness about endangered species and to actually make a 

difference to the cause I am fighting for. 

I want to establish a restaurant that is the favored spot among the people of my home town.

I want to write and publish novels that captivate audiences by the stories held within. 

I want to find the one job that will change my life and create a future for me that I can't wait to get to.
