why am i doing this?



Why am I doing this?

               The last three days of my spring break I spent at Lake Tahoe. My family and I went and it was gorgeous. The ground was covered in at least 2 inches of snow the whole time. snow fluttered down on Friday when I arrived and man was the setting magnificent. It was around noon so the lighting was perfect and the snow fluttering down all around me had me awestruck. Walking down the streets of Tahoe and looking up at the casino’s and their beautiful architecture along with the beautiful buildings nearby. There is just enough civilization present to not consume the beauty of nature that surrounds these buildings. As I am walking, a question springs in my mind and I ask myself, “how much does it cost to vacation here?”  after putting thought into it and watching my parents pay for dinners and other activities I realized that it is no cheap trip! I knew from the get go that it wasn’t cheap but now I have a close estimate of the costs. Then I thought to myself “I want to come back one day”. I’d love to go back there some day either with friends or a loved one. And then It came to me. An answer I had not asked a question to. This is why I am doing what I am doing. This is why I am going to school and working on the side. To start building my life to build a better future for myself and make it easier to care for me and the ones I love. so that I can afford to do thing I’ve always dreamed of doing and live my life how I want to live it. That is why I am doing
what I am doing. To become a better me.
