I really enjoyed "Going Fishing". It made me think about my life a lot. I am aware that the average person changes their career 7 times in their life. I really like changes and am looking forward to where my life may lead me. When I came to Coe, I thought I had everything figured out. I would major in Physics. Then I would go to grad school, and ultimately do research for a living making discoveries and shaking the physics community. I wanted to make a difference in the world. I believe that last statement will always be true. The part that might change is how I do that. I have felt it change since I came to Cedar Rapids and became involved in the community volunteering. I talk to so many people who spend their lives helping others it's becoming hard to tell myself to go into science and spend my time time doing research. I feel I am most useful in the community helping people. While I was watching Random1 with my girlfriend last night, I told her, "I want to do that... I want to help people for a living." I have shared this dilema with many of the people I know and have continually been told to look for a happy medium. They tell me I can do both. Currently, my vision is to change the world through Christ. This may be through science, closing the gap between Creation and the scientific community, or simply becoming a leader in the community through serving people.

I reallize my rambling has gotten a bit off topic, but my point is that Going Fishing made me re-evaluate what will make me happy in life. I thought about if I can accept making much less money if that means changing people's lives more directly. I feel I am on the right path and am very happy with my current endevers. I am always listening for God to lead me in the direction he wants me in.
