A steady dose of Mediocrity

As I write feel like I'm sitting here on a national platform now getting ready to share my voice to the world. I think of every great woman who has come before me who shared her voice and how has faced adversity. Whether she was writing hidden away in her bedroom or speaking in front of millions, I can bet that she faced adversity. Now as I see the world changing so fast before my very eyes and I cannot help but wonder who the next "Greatest" will be. Which one of us will step up to this intimidating but necessary plate? As I think this I also think of how I hate it sometimes when people ask me if I am going to college, or even when they automatically assume and ask me what school I go to. Umm, either you think I'm younger than I am or you think I'm in college because that's what I'm "supposed" to be doing. Nothing wrong with college at all. I wanted to go to college too, and I just found my path started taking me in other directions. Sometimes I wish that people would make different assumptions and ask different questions, like hey...what are your passions? Do you ever travel? Funny thing is that sometimes people will ask the same exact questions twice and forget they asked me before if I plan to go to school for this or that? Nobody seems to really ever think that some of us are taking the road less traveled and creating something the world has never seen before. I just don't see the point in spending thousands of dollars to get a degree in something that will get me a stable job so that I can have a stable life. Sure, I like stability. I like the stability of getting a paycheck every Friday and knowing pretty much exactly how much will be in that paycheck. But, do I like a steady dose of mediocrity for my soul? Not so sure about that...
