Nick Swardson is my favorite comedian ever. In his standup " Seriously Who Farted?" he joked that, "Wouldn't that be a cool world, if we all became the very first thing-- the very first thing you commit to, that's it. You have to be that. You have no choice. It'd be crazy. There'd just be ninjas running around, princesses. Quarterbacks throwing balls to pirates. Rarr. It would be crazy." I began to think about it and I wanted to first girl in the NBA. My dream was to play beside Shaq and Penny Hardaway for the Orlando Magic. When did my dream become so far fetched? Who made me feel like that was impossible? I sometimes wonder when did our parents, teachers, and other members of society let us know that our dreams are unrealistic--I thought they said we could be anything we wanted. I now know that it would be impossible to play in the NBA at 5'3 but still funny to think about. I might have been going to school with a bunch of ninjas and princesses.
