Sometimes you think you have your life together; you believe that you know your calling. Maybe you are questioning your purpose or do not understand the entire reasoning behind that purpose. Ask yourself this, “What annoys you? Go and change it.” Here is my conclusion I need better word choice but it is def inspirational

kaylak:

@Shadow

Shadow:

Yeah "What annoys you" can definitely be reworded, perhaps..."What troubles you in the world?"

kaylak:

but that is what he said

kaylak:

had he worded it that way, I don't know if that would have had the same effect

kaylak:

Everyone has a calling in life. It may not always be recognized, but when it does you ask yourself, why didn’t I think of this sooner? For years, I thought that I was meant for the science department. From veterinary medicine to pathology, I was determined to work in laboratory research for the rest of my life. However, that changed after graduation. After a series of lackluster speeches, a young man strode onto the platform with a confidence that bespoke a message worth listening to. He begins explaining the five themes of life: goals, changing the world, purpose, The most important question he asked was “what annoys you?’ I contemplated for a while on my decided major. I could not conclude a response. I was amused by the idea of studying horrific biopsies and I loved research; however, it was not enough to become my career. I keep thinking and jokingly told my friends “Based on this speech, I should be an English Education major.” Sometimes you think you have your life together; you believe that you know your calling.

kaylak:

I'm still writing but here's what I have so far

Shadow:

Honestly it's one of those statements that sounds different based on how you hear it. So hearing it in person as you did in the speech is quite different to how I perceived it just now.

Shadow:

In retrospect, it's fine I suppose.

kaylak:

and remember a younger audience

He begins explaining the five themes of life: goals, changing the world, purpose, journeys, and follow your passion.

kaylak:

what could I add so far?

kaylak:

I do need sensory details

Shadow:

after *highschool* graduation

Shadow:

Without clarifying, I could assume it's elementary, middleschool, heck maybe preschool?

Shadow:

Another change: *following* your passion

Shadow:

You want it to parallel the structure you already set up with: 'changing the world'

kaylak:

majors and life ? how can you assume that

Shadow:

?

kaylak:

science department and careers? Do I need to clarify?

Shadow:

I was referring to this sentence: "However, that changed after graduation." You ought to detail what graduation it specifically was. These are the kinds of details that allows the reader to build an image in their mind. Right now they don't know what picture to build. 90% will assume high school, but 10% like me will find it odd.

Shadow:

I think the detail you have elsewhere is fine.

Shadow:

It's just that particular section that's odd. You see, writing to me is world building. When you write high school graduation, every reader will picture a crowd of near adults, and parents in the background. This is the typical understanding of a high school graduation. But then the readers own experiences will flood into the world, because they know that you're talking about a hs graduation, and they know of one. It allows for worlds to meld, making it a story that a reader becomes personally invested in.

kaylak:

Reflecting on my high school experience, I realized my struggle in math. Barely surviving calculus,

Shadow:

You realized that it wasn't for you, that there were areas where your expertise truly resided.

kaylak:

wait what?

Shadow:

I'm just giving you my interpretation of what you said, and also perhaps where you might go

kaylak:

I need sensory details to describe calculus

Shadow:

I only ever went up to precalc, but to be honest, giving sensory details to math, kind of hilarious

Shadow:

Just the thought of it

kaylak:

go ahead lol

Shadow:

Perhaps taxing on the brain, arduous at every corner, etc

Reflecting on my high school experience, I realized my struggle in math. Barely surviving calculus, an abundance of tears,

Shadow:

An abundance of tears, sweat, and glory that felt short lived.

Shadow:

Akin to just getting by that one math quiz, when you know the test is right around the corner.

Shadow:

I'm not sure, I wasn't there. Primarily you want to focus on what caught your attention, and what you got out of the speech.

Shadow:

That's all I can say.

kaylak:

okay cool
