My dreams eh? Well, I suppose it would to contribute something lasting to the world. Something that will endure past the end of my life, something that leaves the world a little different than when I came in. And there are so many ways to do this, create a great masterpiece of music, lead a great revolution, start a family, invent something, the list goes on and on.
Granted I'm not entirely capable of these things, although I have a few goals I'm shooting for. As an Anthropology student the holy grail of my field is uncovering a lost city (or the actual Holy Grail of course) and I happen to be aware that there are a few Mayan urban centers that are still unaccounted for in the Yucatan. Still, this is quite a fanciful notion and a long shot, but aim high, ne?
My slightly more realistic notion is to become a novelist and add some great work of literature to the world, something would endure past it's initial popularity and become a classic. Perhaps even reaching the highest literary level a novel can achieve, a book a generation or two of high-schoolers bitch and moan about having to read for English class ^^.
To boil it all down, I want to add something to the world that wasn't there before, whether it be a book, some new knowledge, or discovering some old knowledge that's been forgotten over the years. Maybe even throw another kid onto the planet while i'm at it, or at least raise one.
As said, aim high.
