Aspirations

I wish you were here! Disneyland is my favorite place! I haven’t been to the other Disney parks, but I love being in the park where Walt himself walked!

And Spix Macaws have been considered to be extinct in the wild since 2000, and there are only 85 in captivity.

Yeah, I know there’s just 85 in captivity. That’s why I wanna donate money to help save them. :smiley: Rio did inspire me somewhat, though. But in general, I just love the beautiful blue colour of their plumage. I’d love to get a feather of one! Even if I would have to pay big bucks to get one… maybe some of the organisations that breed them could sell them and use the money for conservation?

I also really want to help the Javan Rhinoceros. Poor things are almost extinct! And of course, the Axolotl, Kakapo, and the Californian Condor, too. Yeah, I would love to help with the conservation on these species… but I never quite have the money.

I’m planning to send part of the income of my Thylacine story to the World Wildlife Fund, though! If I ever get it published… two aspirations in one! 8D

It’s lovely reading people’s dreams and aspirations here and I really hope that you all achieve them someday. :slight_smile:
As for me, I want to start to be able to program. I’ve started to learn C++ but since I didn’t know anything about coding to start off with I really am trying to teach myself right from scratch. For ages I never really knew what I wanted to do when I was older but now that I do I’m going to work hard to achieve it. Software engineers are on the pixar film credits too you know! :nerd:
Anyway, aside from that I want to improve my drawing and get good exam results since I’m quite an academic person. I’d love to be able to sing as well but I never see any chance of that happening so that’s only a little wish :wink:

Badger: I also share your dream of saving the Spix (I knew about their endangerment, but Rio really fired my interest, they should’ve taken the opportunity to appeal to the audience or something!). But I would prefer to volunteer my time and energy rather than money. In fact, I hope to do a work internship or holiday at a nature reserve in an exotic country like Kenya or Brazil. It might be dangerous, and it’ll take a lot of planning (especially since I’m now going to start working soon), but it’s one of my ‘pipe dreams’ I hope to complete when I’m still young. :slight_smile:

that’s really amazing! i’d love love /love/ to travel the world some day. i’ve never been out of the united states, lol. like i said, the one place i’m dying to go is italy, but there are /so/ many more countries and cities that i want to see. fdsajghgl; i promised myself one day i’ll see them.

i’ve been lots of places in the u.s., but that’s it. i still <3 new york, though.

oh, and i’m totally with whoever wants to find true love. it felt really corny typing that, but whatever. o:

I’m not saying not to, just giving some back up information!

tdit: That’s an awesome aspiration, to go abroad and help wildlife. I have an aspiration that is somewhat similar, which I’ll say below!

I haven’t posted my list of aspirations yet, but I’d love to join the Peace Corps, and do humanitarian projects. Especially in South America! I’ve been doing lots of humanitarian projects for years. Mostly locally, but I’ve traveled to New Orleans to do Hurricane relief, and in a couple weeks I’ll be going to work in the inner city in New York City. I hope someday I can go abroad and help people, I have a knack for it!

Everyone here has got cool aspirations. I hope you all accomplish some if not all of them.

I’ve gotten a new apsiration…

to meet someone…

I’m always getting new aspirations! :slight_smile: Who else would you like to meet? (If you don’t mind me asking that is).

Once again, i would like to meet Trent Reznor.

Oh, I see. Why would you like to meet him?

He’s a great role model and hero to me.

As I mentioned above, my main aspiration is to do humanitarian work overseas. And I might have a chance to do so! It’s not for sure, but perhaps next year I’ll go to do Earthquake relief work in Haiti next year. It’s a dangerous place, but it’s a good stepping stone for more intense and longer projects that I hope to do someday in South America.

^Wow, that is a great goal. And you know what? Based on your personality I can totally picture you doing something like that. One of my relatives actually used to work over in Haiti for the UN!

Awww, thank you! Yeah, I just want to help people. What’s the point of life if you can’t help others? Whether it’s doing work in Africa, or helping out in a soup kitchen in your town or giving some change to a homeless man. We can all change the world!

And really? That’s cool about your relative! I want to major in International Relations, it’d be great to work at a place like the UN.

You are so right. If you don’t have a rewarding job where you really making a difference then what is the point? Yeah, I don’t know much about his job (the adults like to talk about it when I’m not around as if it’s a top secret mission). It sounds pretty dangerous but also amazing. My biggest dream is to become a writer. I don’t know any other feeling that is better than someone reading your work and saying “That is beautiful” or something amazing like that. To capture people’s imaginations is my biggest goal. That’s what makes me feel accomplished, satisfying the imagination of another. :slight_smile:

MissCarrera: Wow, that’s a beautiful aspiration! Who knows, you can help other people imaginations and ideas, and really make a change! As well as doing what you enjoy what you love!

And i want to do that to, be a writer.

This might be weird, but I would love to write as well. Hopefully make a TV show or a Pixar movie…

novels and poetry…
