My future

I have been in love with the Eiffel Tower since the second grade when my mom and favorite aunt were planning their trip to Europe. I saw the enormous, one-of-a-kind structure in one of the Paris coffee table books they bought. The iconic image of the tower at night, completely lit with sparkling silver lights, has been my goal ever since. I want to travel and see the world, getting to Paris being my number one priority.
Joining the Fremont High Rustler staff with Mrs. Fey my sophomore year of high school has changed my entire vision for life. I discovered I can do my two favorite things (traveling and writing) and get paid for it. I decided to be a journalist.
I am going to pay for college myself with scholarships and student loans. After attending UNL for four years and being a member of their amazing journalism program I hope to start gaining experience immediately. I know that no publication is going to pay for me to report on world events until I have gotten waist deep in the journalistic world.
I will work hard through college, writing and gaining all the experience and knowledge I can grab. I will always maintain a job and support myself.
Five years after graduating Fremont High, I will be on the road to debt freedom with only my college loans weighing me down. A husband or even a serious relationship will never be my priority. I will hopefully work for a really great publication, which I obviously can’t do in Nebraska. I will still be low on the food chain, but hopefully, I will be working my way up with my fantastic writing.
My family has always made me feel like I can do anything and have done everything they can to help me reach my goals. I will work hard and it will take a while,
but I will establish the world as my playground. I will write about everything from the parades for Chinese New Year in Beijing to luaus in Hawaii.
