My Expectations For My Future

For my future life I hope to have children and I would like to eventually get to live in Isle of Palms in South Carolina. This would be an ideal situation in my future and I hope that I am able to achieve it within the next several years. In the context of my vocation and calling I believe that for me these are two different things. I see my vocation being in nonprofit work and my calling is to be a writer. Since I was a kid I have worked volunteering for various causes from special needs friends to hospice patients I have managed to work with vulnerable groups. As of now I am an employee at the Boys and Girls Club. I work with second through fifth grade children and I have been there for three years now. I recently made the decision to

In the way of telos or aim beautiful singing would still go towards the betterment of the world

Groopman’s story about Kirk Bane. At the end of his life Kirk was miserable and felt bad about his life. He saw empty accomplishments and nothing real to show for all that he had done. When one’s work and life contributes to making a positive difference in the world this is not something that will likely be a problem. One could be on their deathbed and look back at their lives and see all the people that they had helped and the difference that they made and they would know that they had left their legacy on the lives that they had
