My Purpose in Life Essay

4 years ago, I was a part of a fiber arts class at my high school. For our final project, we needed to make either a doll or stuffed animal, & I chose to make a doll, using as many recycled materials as possible in its creation.

My heart broke for all the girls that I saw who felt insignificant and…

college student. All throughout my college career, I felt as though I was waiting for an epiphany which would bestow me and I would be filled with this drive and uncontrollable emotion towards a career goal.

For me, there has never been just one experience that has formed my vocation.
