 As one of my favorite songs by Cat Stevens, Father and Son, says "look at everything you got. For you will still be here tomorrow but your dreams may not"... its really a nice song, and now I find myself in the transition between high school years and the adult world, wanting to have projects of my own, earn money, work hard, learn a lot... but I find myself trapped and without a path to follow. I really enjoyed this semester in college and doing architectural drawings, but I have no special activity other than homework. I got in the college tennis team for a while until my sister confessed she didn't enjoy it as much as I did and we stopped going, we share car... 

I see everyone has an activity of their own, my sister is earning good money doing photo shoots, I'm very proud of her. I wish I could find something I could do without being hired... It sucks living in the United States and having to wait for your Social Security to arrive... even after having applied almost 2 years ago, everyone that has been transferred here because of their jobs, or parents job, and are PROMISED to get a social security and have to wait years to get it ( really years... I know someone that has lived here for more than seven years and still hasn't received the residency)  It really ruins your life... it is like we are no one, we have no rights... of course we pay taxes but we cant vote, cant apply for scholarships, cant work legally... it is really outrageous ... I have good grades, I worked for a good GPA, got more than 240 service hours, was the vice-president of the Interior Design Club at Cypress Bay, the secretary of the Art Honor Society also at Cyrpress Bay High School... member of the Spanish Club and the Business Club and all my efforts for nothing... I ended up going to Broward College because all the universities cost a lot, that even professors say that without scholarships its just too much to pay for.

But oh well, I want that social security or to just get out of this country... The only thing stopping me is the fact that I don't want to leave  my boyfriend I really think I found the right person for me, and of course money... 

Acknowledging my current situation I have to find SOMETHING I can do to make my transition to the adult world the MOST enriching possible. I need high aiming goals, I need a hobby! I need to go back into the life style that gave me freedom to express myself artistically and socially... I need a plan.
