Thoughts

So today there was a girl (she looked a lot younger than I thought) that shared with us a little bit about her life. As it was, she was a single mother of one, worked 30hrs a week, and is a full time student with 17 units. (Go Girl!)

We were talking about this, mainly because we all wanted to know what our social statuses are. There are our Master Status, our Achieve Status, and our Ascribed status.

For example, I have mainly three statuses. My Master is being an older sister, which is an Ascribed status, because it wasn't like I had a choice in the matter. My other statuses are being a friend, and a student, both achieved statuses.

But what do I want my status to be?

A friend, a lover, a writer, a hero, a supporter, a warrior, a dependable person.

So, how do I ACHIEVE these goals? What are my motivations?

I look to books. They have lived longer than me and my parents. They have been there since man could write. These are the sources of my motivation.

To achieve them I have my steps. College and study and such. It'll take some time and hard work, but I think I can pull it off. I've made it this far, right?
