Where do you want to be - September Posts

Where do you want to be? That is a question I have always asked myself, that I have had a range of answers to:

At age 5 I would have told you that I wanted to be at Disney World.

At age 11 I would have said I wanted to be in Primary School forever.

At age 15 I would have said I wanted to be finished with Secondary School.

At age 18 I would have said I wanted to be in the stage.

So where does that leave me now, at the grand age of 20. I've been to Disney World, unfortunately I couldn't stay in Primary School forever, I finished Secondary School and I've been on the stage. Where do I want to be now that I am 20. Where do I see myself going in the future.

Could I potentially go back to Disney World? Yes, I will definitely be going back as a tourist, but at the age of five I said my dream job was to work at Disney World with the Princesses. Could that actually happen? I do have an interview in Essex with Disney later this month to potentially work at Walt Disney World. Is that where my future is heading?

And yes, it is virtually impossible for me to stay in Primary School forever since I am now way to old to attend Primary School. But does that necessary mean that I cannot go back there? What is stopping me from becoming a teacher and giving children the same experiences I had when I was younger that would make them want to stay there forever. Same with Secondary School, what's saying that I won't ever go back? I could possibly teach drama there or another subject, or ever just go back to give out workshops!

Then there is the stage, which is something I keep returning to! I absolutely love performing, it is one of the best feelings in the world for me and I have no idea what my life would have been like had I not ticked the box to say I wanted to take GCSE Drama. I love the stage so much that I am now a year into getting a degree for Musical Theatre.

Does this mean that I am always going to go back to the things I wanted when I was younger? What does it mean for my future? Will it have an impact?

I am afraid I do not actually know. I know as I am writing this I just want to be moved into my new house, but I don't know where I want to be in five years time. Anything could happen that could change my mind. You never know what is going to happen. So, where do you want to be?
