Where Do I Want to put a Stake in the Ground and Invest in my Life?

 This is a more difficult question, especially since I am graduating in about a month. Graduating from college is probably one of the scariest things I will have to do in my life. The unknown is horrifying. And I am completely unsure of what I want to do after college since I currently have no job set up and have a desire to travel and move away from home.

After taking a graduate course this semester that focuses on education and globalization, I know I want to further my life in the study of education. Eventually I want to go to grad school for education policy, but, for now, I want to explore America and other cultures of the world. I question every day where I want to invest in my life. Sometimes I think about how I want to move into a large city. Other times, I consider moving close to a Native American reservation and seeing how they live. I have a huge passion for education, the environment, and other political and social movements, but I am wondering what direction I should go in and if I can even go in all of those directions.

I know for sure I want to become invested in learning who I am and what I live for. I want to become more spiritual because of my extreme fear of death. I want to become more physically active because I have been missing that since I am playing soccer less and less. I want to really invest in my education, whether that means traveling the world or going back to school. All I know for sure is that I want to invest in making myself a better person every day and actively question my social, political, and environmental standing.
