Ten years ago, I was thirteen. I wanted to be a movie maker, writer, or musician. I really wanted to find a way to combine the three, because I couldn't decide what to do. I didn't think I was going to "be somebody by age 23," but I thought I'd at least have the tools to put my plans into action.
Turns out, I'm actually a little ahead of where I thought I'd be ten years ago. I have the tools and skills to do what I want (thanks to a good education and a student discount on some software) and I'm glad I had the good sense to start practicing when I was still in middle school. I also know how I could combine all my interests in a way that might actually make money. I'm not famous, or anything, but I don't really care about that.
It also helps that now I know exactly what I want to do (I just had a vague idea when I was younger).
