Well I am not 30. I am 28. However looking back on some of my goals that I made for myself right out of highschool, I am not on track. I did graduate college, however that is really the only goal I set that I really acomplished. I have 2 years until I turn 30. I have decided that if I turn 30 and I am at the same point that I am now, I will be joining the peace corps. If I end up getting married and have children, then obviously I will have other obligations. However if I am single and childless, my bags a packed. Now by joining the peace corps, I do not expect that my life will turn around and I will have figured out what life is all about. However I feel that when I turn 60 and I am looking back on my life, I will be much happier knowing I traveled the world more and made a difference in peoples lives. Even if its only for 4 years, I will be much more happy about the choices I made. Life is interesting that is for sure, and so many people, myself included look back and wish they could do it all over again. Of course I wish the same, but now I wanna take that learning experience and apply it to my next 12 years. When I turn 40 I want to look back and know that I did something great.
