NEW opinionnn!!
considering i wouldn't get off my butt for a very long time and write one, it's time to tell you what I'm passionate about and we'll go from there.

Many, many people in my life have looked at my decisions, ways of thinking and ideas on life and walked away. They've critiqued my every move until i had no where to turn to. Well, i thought about my future, i saw a thousand things for myself and everybody said it was out of reach. I left private schooling for public in primary school. Got to year ten in a 'restigious' Anglican college and left for wide bay tafe. People told me i was a nothing. Everybody said that because i broke the rules i wouldn't make it anywhere. What they didn't see coming, is sometimes the ones who break the rules, make a whole new world for themselves. And the people that do that won't let anything stand in the way of their goals. Even more so, nobody thought I'd be one of those people. I don't do things by the book, and that's okay because when i do decide to do something, i can see it before I'm even there. you might Call it 'jumping the gun' but i call it visualizing.

In this past three years i have wanted to be a mortician, a coroner, a tattoo artist, piercer, teacher, hairdresser, free lance multimedia expert, telemarketer, rock-star, MTV host,and an actress, just to name a few. But people said it was unrealistic, that it was hard and therefore easily dismissible. But now, i'm doing what i never thought i'd get up the will power to do. I'm getting off my ass, going to university for three years and becoming a registered nurse.

And that's okay, isn't it?

You'd think so, but there's the doubters. I want to be that girl that surprises everybody. I want you to read this and see that it can be you, too. So what, I'll probably be one of the youngest in my classes at uni, SO WHAT that people say i can't do it. To me, you can do whatever you want to If you can see it. you can say SO WHAT to the trials that stand between you and everything you've ever wanted to be. I hope that you read this and get the confidence to jump the gun and be what you want. If you want to be a world class athlete, see yourself doing it. Who cares if it's hard? Isn't the end exactly what you could have imagined for yourself? And that's just it. Imagine. Always imagine.

Don't let people push you around!! Why should any other person besides yourself be the decider of your fate? So it doesn't matter to me wether you have blond, black,red,purple or green hair. It doesn't matter if your covered in piercings and tattoos and listen to rob zombie. Or if your idol is Paris Hilton. Do you have something you want to do? But your too scared to just TRY? Well, listen to me! You can do it no matter who you are!

Be proud to make choices that nobody thought you would. Be proud to have an idea, and don't be scared to follow it through no matter how ridiculous and irrational it may be. People achieve the impossible all the time.

Thanks,
Elle.
