When You Dream, Dream Big

My most commonly asked question:
What is your major?
My second most commonly asked question:
Sociology? What are you going to do with that?

What I want to say: "Well, I wanna change the world. What do you think about that huh??"

But I refrain because we would both know that that isn't even possible. I do however choose to dream big. Why limit myself when the world around me is so ready to place limits on me. Someone has to be my biggest motivator, and I guess that person has to be me.

Actually, I think these are the people that motivate me.I realize that I can not have a big impact on the world, but maybe, just maybe, I can have an impact on a few lives.
What do I want to do with sociology you ask?
"I want to use it as a gateway to serve. I want to help nonprofit organizations be the most effective they can possibly be. I want to help all the people that I can through these organizations that serve the people all around the world. I want to help children so they are not hungry. I want to promote health and wellbeing. I want to bless others with freedom. I want people to know they are loved and cared for." I guess to sum it up, "I want to change the world"

Yeah, I understand that is a long shot. It is too much for me to take on. But I can dream big right? Why start small when I can start big? If no one is willing to dream big then how would this world ever get any better?

So...game on poverty, and sadness, and war, and evil, and tears. They are no match for my big dreams!

  1. I have to disagree with you Hayley. NEVER limit your dreams. You do have the power to change the world! When you put yourself out there, great things can happen. When you hide out doing the status quo, not only do you stagnate, but all those around you miss out on something great too. Love you sis. Eric
