Two years ago, I was afraid of wanting anything.
I figured wanting would lead to trying, and trying would lead to failure.
But now I find I can't stop wanting.
I wanna fly somewhere in first class.
I wanna travel to Europe on a business trip.
I wanna get invited to the White House.
I wanna learn about the world.
I wanna surprise myself.
I wanna be important.
I wanna be the best person I can be.
I wanna define myself instead of having others define me.
I wanna win and have people be happy for me.
I wanna lose and get over it.
I wanna not be afraid of the unknown.
I wanna grow up to be generous and big hearted, the way that people have been with me.
I want an interesting and surprising life.
It's not that I think I'm gonna get all these things.
I just want the possibility of getting them.
College represents possibility.
The possibility that things are gonna change.
I can't wait.
