As far as my future goes, I want it to be concrete. I want to start my career somewhere and work many years there. I know this is easier said than done. My plan right now is to get my Master’s degree because the job I have my sights set on requires that I graduate with one.
My goal is to become and academic advisor for students on a college campus. Now, some of you may think, “BORINGGGG” but it isn’t all that it is made up to be. My advisor, Tom, is probably my biggest inspiration since I stepped foot on Plattsburgh’s campus.
He doesn’t just fix schedules and check his email all day. He puts everything he has into creating opportunities for upcoming professionals. From helping with community service events to being the consultant for a fraternity, he takes every opportunity to inspire.
This is Tom and I holding a ‘Student Affairs Vision Award’ that I received for my efforts to provide the Plattsburgh townspeople with free personal care items. Tom was my inspiration for the charity event which became my proudest accomplishment of my college career.
I’ve been trying to find a way to inspire for a long time now. Writing has become my fix for now but I just don’t think it will last. I doubt my writing abilities too much to think I could become full-time inspiring with writing. Plus, college students intrigue me. They are in this transition from the nonsense of high school to making a name for themselves. They will accomplish great things while building a yellow brick road straight to their future. I want to be a part of that.
I want to inspire the young adults that walk through the college atmosphere. I want to be able to put everything I have into the education and future of these driven college students. As of right now, I am completely content with setting my sights on my future career.
Empathy Deserves a comeback 
I think being a college advisor is a fantastic idea, especially for someone who really wants it and is enthusiastic for helping others.
My experience with both my advisors in high school and college were so wonderful, and I still find it so easy to talk to them both whenever I am uncertain about my future.
I remember my high school advisor crying with me when I got a scholarship I needed to go to college. That’s how sincere she was and I was just one of many she helped find their places in the world.
My current advisor at college is another sweetheart, who keeps everyone calm and chilled against the stress of college and the city.
Wonderful people.
Good luck with this goal of yours, and all the best!

That is a brilliant idea. However, it seems like you are trying to defend your goal, but there is no need. Most of the people who have inspired me personally have been my academic advisers.
I also understand your passion to inspire people. My new blog is hopefully aimed to help new graduates feel less alone and abandoned – I have a lot of work to do on my writing skills though!
Good luck with your goal. I bet you will do great 🙂
