1. Be in a position that promotes health awareness.

I’m still trying to figure out how I want to do this. Health education? Health policy? Health communications? Nutrition? I have a lot of different interests in life, so I could actually picture myself going into a number of different fields.

2. Cook/bake more often for myself and others.

When I make something, especially baked goods, I really do make it with love and the intention of making others happy. I want to figure out how to take popular recipes and find a way to make them healthier too.

3. Write/record a short film.

This is one of those things that most people don’t know I’m interested in. I actually came up with a plot for a short film/music video in the summer of 2009. I even sketched out a storyboard and made a google doc for it. The story was more personal to me back then, but I still want to follow through with filming it eventually.

4. Write a novel.

Becoming a writer was one of my childhood dreams. I actually joined NaNoWriMo this year but didn’t reach the goal of 50,000 words. If I don’t write a novel by November 2011, then I’ll probably join again. Regardless of how many people I show the novel too, I really want to accomplish this goal.

5. Travel.

I’ve always been interested in seeing the world and everything it has to offer. The farthest I’ve been outside of California is Chicago. And that was when I was 8 years old so I don’t really remember too much. So when I say I want to travel, that includes exploring LA and California too.
