These past few months my life has been in turmoil, literally. I wont break any records repeating my cliche list. Tonight it is 12:36 a.m. and i cant seem to fall asleep. Even though I was tired all day. Lately it feels like my life is finding its peace, the type of peace I can have for the rest of my years. My dog is going to die soon, wiggles, my 18 year-old australian shepherd. I grew up with her, seeing that i got her when she was 5 and I 6. I'm 19 now and poor old wiggles has a tumor ready to pierce her spine and and enlarged heart, she was really the loving type. Anyway, i cried for about 15 minutes straight when i heard we needed to pt her down but then i realized that she's had a full and happy life and all forms are changing, nothing permanent. My grades have been slipping, but I'm dedicated, now, to raising them. Japanese is really bad, my philosophy classes aren't too bad, my geography class has yet to start and my math class is straight up raping me. 
I've decided to major in philosophy.
Though i do like biology a lot and it would be the more practical choice, what i am most passionate about is philosophy. Really my goal since I first encountered and felt philosophy circuit my conscience is to bring philosophy to High Schools. Not mandatory of coarse, but as an elective you can take your senior or junior year. The type of philosophy that makes you think about ethics, morals, values, duty. Hopefully it will reach them on a much personal level and bring more peace and awareness of the individual to many people early on. 
I don't think high schoolers are really ready for philosophy, and thats why i want to bring it to them. 
I'm finding my way.
