I would like to

There are things that I would like to do. I would like to graduate from college. I would like to be happy. I would like to know how things work.

I have been thinking lately about what I will do with the college education that I will have in just a year and a half. What will I do? I certainly don't intend on wasting it, is there a way to waste an education other than choosing to do nothing with it? I don't think so.

How I want to use my education:
I want to hear stories. Not just campfire stories, but life stories. I am extremely interested in human beings and what makes them tick. This is not biological, and I am not looking to find drama queens. With my education, Media Production, Journalism, Design and so on, I want to be able to tell other people's story's. My great plan so far is to find a company or entrepreneur that is willing to spend a little money on me, and ask them to pay for my journey's. Remember, I want to tell people's story's. I will find people anywhere in the world. My intention is to spend a month with a single person, listen to them, ask them questions, see how they handle their lives. I want to show the world how it is to be Joe from Pennsylvania or Jenny the mill worker or Tim the first time home buyer. I want to tell stories.

I will bring all of this together by creating a website that has their stories, remember this will be one story a month roughly, and I will update it while I am with the person. I intend there to be audio as well as video and text and pictures, but the material things are not the focus.

From what I have learned here, I understand that the message is the focus, and my focus here will be their stories.
