Long-term Goals
Secure an Associate of Arts degree before advancing a career in English Literature, potentially at a reputable publishing company
Persist in the direction of another degree, at least a Bachelor's, if not an eventual Master's degree in the Humanities, so that I may eventually teach the course(s) at a collegiate level Travel to foreign countries (I have already been invited to Costa Rica! Hopefully it works out) as part of study-abroad programs geared toward opening my expanse of awareness of other cultures, religions, and social norms and traditions Live in a foreign country (such as Italy) for at least one year, and become fluent in that applicable or another foreign language Own my own business, such as a publishing company I would name "House of Eden" Publish more of my own stories and poems, and eventually a novel or two (possibly even a memoir!) |
