My Purpose in Life Essay

As a child, I was outside almost all the time. I would either be on my family farm working or in the backwoods that are on our farm. I love the outdoors because they are so perfect because they are so beautiful and great. As a farm boy, the outdoors are what I have been around my whole life and all I have known. Therefore, I honestly wouldn’t know what to do without them. I remember a couple of years ago, my family went on a excursion to Disney World, and I wasn’t myself, I felt like I…

I have a confession to make. I don’t know what the word “home” means. At one point in my life, I may have had some idea, but that faded as I matured. When I was little, it seemed to be the place my family and I returned to after being somewhere else, such as Grandma’s house or the movie theater. It was where my bedroom with all my toys was, where my mother would bake batches of delicious cookies, and where my father grew his garden.

Maybe some have an idea of their purpose because they already know their passion, but some do not really know what their life is all about.
