You know what sucks? Seeing my friends do the things that they want to do and realize that I am just sitting on my butt not doing the things that I want to do.
One of my friends just recently won an Academy Award for Best Screenplay in an Original Short Film (College Academy Awards). The same film, "Inspector 42" also won Best Director.
I guess I'm still bitter for not making it into the film program. I feel like now that I've decided to be a teacher my life will only amount to sitting in my office...
Wow. I'm sorry, guys. I'm really beating myself up here.
For some reason, I want the world to know who I am; so that when I die, my life will have meant something to someone. Being famous, having an influence over millions of people, taking home an Oscar sometimes seems like that's the only way.
Of course, that's not true.
Being a good friend and a good mentor is better than any trophy I could ever receive.
I majored in Spanish because of an inspiring high school teacher. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a teacher. But if you have any doubts about it, do something else - there is nothing worse than a teacher who wishes they had picked a different career.
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to the idea of you becoming a theater actor?
Andy, it's been a while. I see you've been "enjoying" the roller-coaster we call "life". Don't worry, if you work hard and long enough, you'll accomplish something that people will remember you for. You just have to have patience. I believe in you!
