What Do I Want To Do With My Life?
I feel that this is a meaningless question because at this moment in time what I want to do probably has nothing to do with what I will end up doing. I could say that I want to be a professional athlete but that is very unrealistic. I could say that I want to be the President of The United States but again it is very unrealistic. On the realistic side of things, I could say that I want to matter in the world so I want to be a doctor. I could say that I want to make a difference so I want to be a teacher. I could be all into myself and say that I want to become rich and famous. Or I could say that I want to get out of school, get a decent paying job, get married to my high school sweetheart, and pump out a few little one's. But none of that matters at this point because I have very little knowledge of the world and have even less knowledge of what my life's calling will be. And even if I have a life's calling it doesn't mean anything because from what I have seen, few follow through on those. But for the assignment I will complete it as you asked.
For myself, I have little use for fame, wealth, and power. I want to make a difference in at least one person's life; hopefully more than one person. I want to live my life true to myself. If I an true to myself, I will be a good person. If I am a good person, I will be a difference maker in the world even if it's only in my small part of the world. As for an occupation, that doesn't matter. Any person doing even the most menial job can make a difference in the world if they are honest, trustworthy, and dependable. So as far as what I want to do with my life, I don't know. I have no clue what occupation I want or will have the chance to do. But what I want from my life is that I want to be a person that people look at and say,"That's Kieran, he's a good, honest, and dependable guy". That's enough for me.

I hope he got an A for that if it was really for class. Do you know when he wrote it?
This is the first thing I have found in his journals about his class work mainly cause that was the last year that he went to regular school. He tried to go the next year but only went like 2 weeks and then they started home schooling him because he would get sick alot.
But it was something he had to do in class one day. He got a B+ on it. He wrote in the journal that she didn't think he wrote it even though the assignment was on the chalk board when he walked into the room that day and they had to write it during that class, and hand it in at the end of the class. He finished it in like 10 minutes and handed it in and she read it then. He said that at the bell, she asked him to stay after class. He said that she wanted to talk to him about the assignment during studyhall. So at studyhall, she asked him if he wrote it or did he have somebodies paper (like his sister's or brother's) that was similar and he just changed it to fit his paper. She explained that it was better writing that she got from her best senior class students and it was probably better than what most college freshmen could write, especially the thought process put into the paper. He said that she just couldn't believe that a freshmen wrote it. He said that they talked the whole time during studyhall and that he liked her. She was smart and it was nice having a teacher that cared. She did end up giving him an A for the paper.
I read some of his other entries that were about her and they got along real good. She would give him special writing assignments and they would work on them during studyhall. She would let him use her laptop to get on the internet without the school's safety measures. I think that she was a big influence on him. He even gave her his permission to read his blog but to not let anybody know about it, even other teachers.
I met her a few times after I moved here. She would come over and spend time with him especially when he was starting to get real weak. She was a real nice lady.
wow
He was an influence on me - his Yahoo blog always contained a music vid. It was his taste in music that got me hooked reading him and from there on I would share my life with his thru writing. To this day I still listen to bands he introduced me to thru his blogs.
When I wrote in my music section that "Music is what feelings sound like" - I think he already knew that.
