A year from now I
will just be getting started on my journey as a "real adult", and
while that scares the hell out of me, I am slowly coming to the realization
that my career as a student will be coming to an end. A year from now I want to
be driving a new jeep and excelling in my first real job as a designer, while I
try to not freak out about the fact that I will no longer be able to enjoy the luxury of a summer break. I will be taking advantage of my time
working as an in-house designer at POV Solutions and I will be learning as much
as I can while I strategize my plan to leave Ohio for someplace exciting and new.
I hope that a year from now Kendrawz will be taking off and people will start
to recognize my name and style. I hope to have participated in as many art shows
as possible and to have given out another 250 business cards a year from now. I
hope that my art work will be displayed in local stores around Marietta and
Cleveland. A year from now, I hope to be adjusted to my new name, Kendra Embrescia,
and I want to be able to look back and be proud that I have changed my identity
for the better. I want to use this transition as an opportunity to become a more
proactive, outgoing person. One year from now, I will finally obtain my
passport and will be planning my first cruise with Alex, while I figure out if
I should really move out of my grandparents’ house just yet. Ideally, we'll both get our stuff together a year from now and be looking at homes to buy together, a home we can work on and restore until I drag him to Hawaii with me. A year from now I
want to be able to say that I have sold a second window painting and maybe even
a third. Although I can never really know where the next year will take me, I
do know for sure that I want to be able to look back a year from now and be
proud of how far I have come and excited for what the future has to offer me. I also see myself getting a pet kitten.
