Desperately Searching…

Desperately searching for my purpose.

I’m a college student and I know that almost everyone is in the same boat with me. Everyone wants to know what their purpose in life is. Why was I put here? How can I impact the world in my own little way and leave it with something accomplished?

I don’t want to settle for a job I think I might like, or that I’m doing to simply, “pay the bills”. I want to be passionate about what I do, and know I’m doing my part.

I see things, and I hear things about prostitution in third world countries, injustice to women in the middle-east and the horrible things going on in African countries and it makes me so sad. But at the same time, makes me feel hopeless. What can I do to help them?

I’m a 19 year old girl, who’s lived in the suburbs of Cleveland all her life, with two healthy, loving, encouraging parents, doesn’t know what need feels like and has never had to worry about when her next meal would be. Things I take for granted daily (just a few of thousands).

I want to be directly involved in their lives. But I can’t. I’m stuck here, in college, taking classes that don’t really interest me in hopes of finding a job that I will like, but no clear goal in mind.

I need an opportunity.

This is so frustrating to me.
