Class of 1999, Are You Where You Want To Be?

Friday, June 20th, 2008

An interesting discussion occurred on my way home from work. My best buddy was talking to me about seeing people from his high school and their accomplishments. We ended up discussing your potential and what you wanted to be doing when you graduated. Some end up pursuing their dreams and doing the jobs they set out to do. Some end up in “go nowhere” jobs or positions they only took to make ends meet. This had me thinking about myself and my friends. When I was in high school and even before, I wanted to work in the video game industry. I was about 13-14 and I watched a series about what people do in their jobs. One of the jobs was a video game tester. I thought to myself, “People get paid to play video games? I can do that!” Well there’s A LOT more to it than just sitting in front of a console for however long a work day is. But, it’s where I wanted to be ‘when I grow up’. Today, I’m still reaching for that goal but I feel like I’m on the right path to attain it. But what about those people that aren’t even trying. Those that are either stuck in a dead job, hating what they do each day and wishing for something better. Why wish for something better? Wish for what you wanted when growing up! Reach for the passion that you had when growing up! Do something with your life that you wanted to do! I’m on my way, are you?

And so it begins…

Guess I should start this with an introduction. My name is Tristian and this….this is another blog in the saturated world wide web of blogs and websites. But it’s my blog. Not meant to be anything fancy, just a place to share with my family and friends, and to anyone who stumbles across it. I want this to grow and be a part of my life that I enjoy sharing. So, there it is. Feel free to comment on my stuff, I can take it.
