In about twenty years, I picture my life very successful and me enjoying every moment of it-just as I do now. I picture myself that I will be graduated out of college and I will be working. At this point in my life I hope to be a teacher. That could change, as I do not know for sure what college I will have attended and where I will be living. I do want to live in my own house, sharing it with my husband, because I want to get married. I'm not so positive on this thought yet, but it might be nice to have one child at this point. If it is a girl, I would want to name her Catherine, Allison-and call her Alli for short, or Katie. These are my three favorite girl names. I know for sure that I don't have any favorite boy names right now.
Shortly after I graduate from college, I want to be living in my dream house. This would be the house that I hire someone to build, and that I would design/decorate myself. I have a huge plan for my dream house, but it would cost so much money to build and decorate. One of my favorite TV channels to watch is HGTV, which I watch almost whenever I have free time (which has been limited lately). This is almost a "bad habit" because it is constantly giving me ideas to add onto my long list.
Another thing I have myself pictured accomplished is running my first marathon and ultra marathon. When I get older, I plan to be a big runner. I want to run my first marathon either in college, or shortly after I graduate college. If you are wondering and don't know what an ultra marathon is it is a race that is any distance longer that 26.2 miles. This could be around 32 miles or more. My dad has run a few of these races, and it seems like it would be so much fun! I have also read a book a few months ago, and it described another type of race to run. It is 50 miles, and you get to have a team. The team consists of two runners and a horse. One member rides the horse a few miles up the trail, ties it up, and continues running, while the other runner runs up to the horse, unties it and rides it past the first runner, then ties it up..ect. This goes on for 50 miles, and there are various stops on the way. Some of these include aid stations for the runners, and health checking stations for the horses. This is one race that I wish to participate in, even though I don't even know where these kinds of races are hosted, how you get a horse, and how you register.
I believe that the future I have planned is pretty solid. I don't know how much of this will actually fall through, since we all know that things change. Who knows how much or if all of this will even be true. There isn't anything I can even be positive about. I don't know if I will have my dream house-I bet I won't. I don't know if I'll even be able to run-who knows what could happen? Maybe I'll end up getting hurt? And maybe I won't even be married at this point in my life, therefore I wouldn't have any kids. I think though, that if there is one thing that is the MOST promising, it would be my ability to run. Even if I don't do the major marathons and races, I can still count on running on my own. I can also count on enjoying this too. :)

If I could Meet Anyone...
If there is one person who I could meet dead or alive, it would be one of my favorite country music singers. The only kind of music I listen to is country. So, my one of my favorite artists is Taylor Swift. A few years ago, I went to see Taylor Swift in concert with one of my best friends. This was one of the best nights I have ever had.
One of the reasons that Taylor Swift is one of my favorite country artists is because I believe that she is a very inspirational person. I love the music she writes and I think that she has some very catchy music. From what I know about Taylor Swift, is it seems like she has been through a lot during her lifetime. One thing I have learned from her, is that through any hard or tough time you are having, if you have the right friends there for you, you can get through anything. I think that this is so true, too. Taylor Swift is young and when she was around thirteen she never thought that she was going to make her dream of becoming a singer come true. But, from where she is now; the huge message that everyone can learn is to never stop dreaming about what you want to do in life.
Taylor Swift has written many songs and she has earned so many award for all of her accomplishments. To repeat again, but I strongly believe that this is true: If you follow your dreams they will come true...eventually. There are many instances in the world with other people that this has happened to. Even if your dream is small or large, it will come true someday--even if only in your sleep!
Therefore, the person who I wish I could meet-alive-is Taylor Swift. I wish to meet her because I believe that she is a very inspirational country music writer. She is also one of my favorites.

If I were President......
If I was President of the United States and I could change something I
would change the alchol rule. I don't know the exact law on this, but
I do know that it is illegal for anyone under the age of twenty one to
buy, sell, or have possesion of alcohol.
The parts that I would change on this law is that if you are going to
a public place-a bar service-for example, it would be illegal for a
person to walk out of the doors of the bar drunk. This would
eliminate the cause of death by drunk driving or the death of others
by drunk driving.
Another part of this law that I would want to change is the times that
bars close. I know that recently, there was a change in the laws that
bars were able to stay open until two a.m. When I found out about
this I did not think it was right. Ater all, who needs to be out at
two in the morning?? You should be sleeping at that time! The change
I would make in this law would be that bars should close at a sooner
time, but if they are to close at that late at night, the bars need to
stop selling alcholic beverages at around eleven thirty. I think that
even eleven thirty is a little bit late to be out at.
To finalize, I don't think that bars should be open as late during the
night and I also don't think that people need to be driving around
town at two in the morning. To repeat, I don't know much about laws,
and I'm not certain about the law pertaining to this topic. But, I
just strongly dislike hearing stories all the time on the news about
accidents that relate to alcohol, and drunk-driving, that could easily
be eliminated.
