Future Goals
Dec. 14th, 2009 09:26 pmI figure I'll add to this at time goes on, but I want to start getting this down.
-Earn a Bachelor's Degree, followed up by a Ph.D. I'm not sure exactly what in yet, but that'll come with time. I'm almost certainly convinced I want to go for Renewable Electrical Engineering, but the more I think about it, the more I'm finding myself drawn back to the raw potential and great mysteries that come with the pure science fields of Chemistry and Physics. Engineers are the ones who write the sonnets within the general constraints of their framework; Scientists are the ones who define and create that framework.
-Change the world. I'd like to be one of the great minds that you read about who revolutionize the world as we know it- minds like Bohr, Newton, Rutherford, Fermi, the Curies, and Darwin. Not because I want to have my name plastered across history (ok, well maybe partially that), but because I know I have the ability, the talent, and maybe to a certain extent the responsibility to. Is that naive or a bit arrogant? Probably.
-Travel the world. There's so much more out there beyond the U.S. and I want a chance to experience it all. As such, I want to get back to fluency in French, and learn another language as well. Someday I'll be able to say that I've set foot on all seven continents.
