I'm committing this dream to God. It's so cool to think that God has given each of us the ability to dream and create and that He wants to be a part of everything we do! I think that dreaming and praying should go hand in hand and I want to co-author this dream with God.
It's funny, even though a dream is something that can be as big as the dreamer can imagine it to be, I feel a sort of resistance on how big my own dream can become. Maybe it's schooling...the weekly pounding of books and reason...that makes me doubt the potential of my dream or maybe it's just me doubting myself. I have, after all, failed to follow through with dreams before. Whatever the reason, I can feel the doubt. It's a rain cloud over my head that's keeping me from seeing the sun...but that doesn't mean that the sun isn't there. I guess seeing the sun even when it's cloudy is something called hope. So, for the sake of hope I will continue to dream and in doing so, I plan to dream big. Here's to hope!
Since my hope is to create a roadtrip adventure while answering questions that a college graduate might have along the way, I have devised a set of categories that I think might encompass some of the questions of a graduate.
Dreamin Big
Brian Herzlinger
Creator of "My Date With Drew" and fellow dreamer
I loved "My Date With Drew", a documentary about a guy with a dream to meet Drew Barrymore. I saw this documentary over the summer and absolutely loved it. Not only did the documentary inspire me to dream, but it also got me excited about taking seizing opportunities. How did Brian do the later? He won $1,100 on a game show and decided to buy a camera from Circuit City with a 30-day return policy and set out to do his best to meet Drew. I love Brian's ambition and I know that his experience could serve as an encouragement to the college graduate.
Getting Healthy
Jack LaLanne
The godfather of physical fitness
Freshmen 15 anyone? It's something I'm sad to say that I carry around and would be happy to get rid of. Who better to get advice from than the godfather of physical education? How honored I would be to meet Mr. LaLanne!
Managing Money
Suze Orman
Personal finance expert
One very important thing that my college education failed to teach me is how to handle my finances. Sure, I dealt with numbers in college algebra and paying bills as a senior living off campus in my own house, but when it comes to understanding credit and fico scores I am at a loss! In that case, who better to ask for financial advice than Suze Orman? She's even got a book especially written for young adults titled The Money Book For The Young, Faulous, and Broke.
Dressin' for Impressin'
Stacy London
Fashionista and host of What Not To Wear
Most college students have perfected the sweat pants and a t-shirt look. Although they may know how to dress things up for an evening out, when it comes to dressing to impress on an interview or in a professional setting, college students can be at a loss. Jeans are a staple in my daily wardrobe and when I consider the realm of business casual I tend to get a little intimidated. Seeing as Stacy is the host of "What Not To Wear", I see it as only natural to want to get fashion advice from her as I prepare to enter the world of button-up blouses and high heels.
