What were you born to do? Do you know? Here's a hint: according to author, Steve Olsher, in his book, "What is Your WHAT?," he says it is "the one amazing thing you were born to do and is comprised of your inherent gifts, the vehicle you will use to share your gifts with the world and the people you are most compelled to serve."
Some people know, it appears, from birth what they want to do with their life, and chase it with strategic abandon until they become the John Coltranes, Nat King Coles, Beyonces, Martin Luther Kings, Malcom Xes and Michael Jacksons of the world.
Then you have multipotentialites. According to Emilie Wapnick, author of "How to Be Everything: A Guide for Those Who Still Don't Know What They Want to Be When They Grow Up," a multipotentialite has "many interests and creative pursuits."
So, how do you know? Some people spend their entire lives just living, not knowing what their purpose is or purposes are. Then some spend their entire lives chasing a dream that they never wake from.
Do you hurry and wait? Or hurry up and get to it? A clue: the famous Leonard da Vinci said, "people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happen to things."
So...you decided. You don't have much time no matter how old you are. Make life happen.
Comment on the following prompt: Your life is a movie. Based on all the movies you know about, write one title that would describe your life now or 10 years from now, then write a list of ten songs that you know of that could match that movie title and serve as the soundtrack for your life.
INCLUDE: First initial AND last name AND class period.
CAUTION!! Do NOT embarrass me, yourself, your class, the English department, the school or your parents with tasteless, meaningless comments. This is for a grade.
