What the Future Holds

WOW! I haven't blogged here for some time now. I just have been doing other stuff and blogging has not been a priority. But I am still alive and kicking. And in school of course.

This time I have been thinking much about what happens after college. I know some students are graduating this year and I am sure that other have already. Immigration reform or the DREAM Act have not passed. It is certainly an uncertain future.

The other day I was traveling with someone and we were listening to mpr.org and something they were talking about was the building of new detention facilities for immigrants. I jokingly said, "Oh one of those might be where I end up." The person with me said, "Please don't say that." While is is a disturbing though, being a well-behaved citizens (and I don't mean it in the legal sense, but in the commitment to society and the well-being of our communities) and always contributing to society, there is always the probability that I could be incarcerated. And probably nothing I or others do will matter.

With that said, I want to acknowledge that I have spent some time contemplating what is going to happen with me in the future. While I do not know what will happen to others, I must start thinking about what could happen with me, if I do not end up in a prison. So, a lot of thinking and strategizing about what my future will look like. with a college education, I certainly do not want to get a job where my education will not be used.

More on this later for sure.
