Playwright? Art Therapy? Actor?

I always said I wanted to help kids heal through art. In fact I believe that is what my purpose is on this earth. However I know that in order to do anything with art therapy, I have to get my masters for it. There are so many masters degrees I want to get while I'm young-ish. I'd like to get my MFA in Creative Writing from University of Michigan. Even though it's one of the top ten schools for creative writing, I strongly believe I will make it into their program. There is also a Theatre for Social Change MFA program at the University of Texas in Austin. I'd also like to study acting more on the graduate level, so there is that as well. I just want to be as well rounded as I can.

I had a dream last night that I was offered the opportunity to intern with my favorite theatre company from Chicago to help develop and write ideas for their coming projects. I woke up thinking that it would be lovely to actually do that and see if at some point in a few years if it would be possible, as silly as that sounds. I might shoot them an email and see if they have ever thought about the idea.

My first performance went surprisingly well, considering that I went over on time by thirty seconds. But it wasn't too horrible and I actually love and can't wait to do it again. I am also excited to start drama writing next semester and develop several ideas with my main theatre professor.

I'm not sure where I will end up in a few years, and honestly that is fine. I'm in a season of growing academically, spiritually and personally and I have never been happier in my life then in this season.
