I wonder how many people dreamed of being a dreamer for a living. I have never known really what I want to spend the rest of my life doing, but I sure do love dreaming about all of the things that I would like to do. I dreamed of being a doctor, a singer, a surgeon, a boat captain, a naval architect, a writer...the list goes on as I continue to make more dreams. Since then I have scratched the idea of becoming a doctor but have taken great pride in working in a hospital taking care of Oncology patients. With a history of cancer at a young age the gift of survival I feel that this is good payback for the blessing I, my self, received, While I never became a boat captain I do enjoy running boats on the Great Lakes in the summer time with my family and friends. And again, I never did become a naval architect, but I am preparing to build my first boat in my parents' garage, much to their dismay. And finally, while I have never published a book or written for a high profile magazine, I did graduate from a reputable university with a Bachelor of Arts in the field of Writing and Rhetoric.

Dreams start small and take a long time to chase. It is my hope that having an opportunity to contribute to the Yahoo! network and publish my own work, that I will be more able to call my self a "writer," along with "boat builder," "captain," "nurse," and whatever other dreams come my way.
