Millennium Mission: "to Be the BEst you can Be" [sic]
A Mission Statement helps you to focus on the kind of person you want to be. Complete the Time Capsule questions and then create your own Personal Mission Statement:
I want to be an important person. I want people to remember me a long time after I'm gone. What I really want is to change lives through signing, or science, or something else like that.
And here is a picture that was inside, written on the back: "All the cousins, July 4, 1999" That was a long time ago....
While reading all that, I laughed so hard... for all that I know I've grown up and things, it turns out that I am still EXACTLY THE SAME. Maybe I've picked up a little confidence (and, in a funny contradictory way, some humility too I think), but the things I want to do haven't changed, and I've been so blessed with opportunities to pursue Physics, to have vocal training, to take dance classes, and to spend so much time with the people I love. It's a little tempting to go through this set of questions and answer them again, but I'm not sure they're the right questions for me now.
Needless to say, I'm kind of amazed that I've gone just where I thought I would go, and am encouraged that it is possible to grow more and more into the kind of person I want to be.
