Why Not?


Why

A word that I use everyday

A word that makes my mind wonder with endless sceneries to ways I could have handled a situation

Why did I not do

dot, dot, dot

Why could I not have done

dot, dot, dot?

Why, Why, Why?

Asking so many questions with the word why,

 I became hesitant with the real question at hand

Why not?

Why not do the task that is in front of me?

 If the task is for my benefit

Why not?

 If the task could harm me in any way shape or form,

Maybe not my best decision in life.

Before College I asked my self. Why continue learning?

Why go to an expensive school, have debt soaring to the moon and back

 Then get a degree in a field, that will have an

EXTREMELY

Low chance of finding a well paying job to start paying off my high debt

But had to ask my self

WHY NOT

My dream Job is to be a Tax Attorney  

I know I have another seven years left of schooling including this year

I know law school will be a challenge to apply for and get into  

I know paying for school will be my biggest challenge

BUT

The end result should be worth my wild

Helping others understand the concept of taxes, along with creating a tax saving plan

Helping business stay within the rules set by the judiciary system for taxes

AND

Helping others understand Assets, Liabilities, Owners Equity, and there is no such thing as A Free Lunch

Helping others balance, save, and hopefully find more money through taxes

That is how I want to help  

That is my dream job

Why is no longer a question

Why not has become my action to achieve my dream job.
