Fostering

I think I'm gradually figuring it out. I used to think I had it ALL figured out, for myself I mean. When some people told me I would change my mind about my future, I never believed them. Things have been changing, but they're changing in a good way and for the best.

Remember when I said that I wanted to inspire and motivate the younger generation? Well I thought of a few ways I could be doing that....different ways to accommodate.

1-Most of you already know that I'll be writing my fiction novels. With my fiction novels, I always convey a very important message and usually have the characters always stand up for what they believe in, and try to be the best person they can be.

2- Film business will be becoming part of my life at some time. From the international movement of mine, called "Wagon Of Hope", which is based off of my inspirational true book "That Happy Someone",  I will be making a film of these two taking teens who have joined this movement and changed their life through this. Majority of the people watch movies, more than they  read. I'm hoping that these teens will tell other teens that it does get better by showing it through the film.

3- I have been thinking about kids for a while now. Don't freak out! I'm not planning on having any for a while. But I'm not sure if I want to be a "full time" parent. So being a foster parent is something I'll definitely consider. While the kids home is being taken care of for whatever mater, I can be a role model to the kid, and hopefully, for the time being while he or she is there, inspire and make a positive influence on them. Plus, I think it would be great for me to be a foster parent because it's just what I'm looking for: I don't have to do the whole raising a kid FOR LIFE thing . I just want to influence younger people.

 "Say Brooke, why don't you be a teacher?"

"No, because I can't stand school, paper work, homework, and I don't like teaching! Just want to inspire and motivate! There is a difference".

I think being a foster parent will be a really rewarding thing for me, despite the negatives of being a foster parent (having property damage, theft in your home, disapproval of friends and family, frustrating when you realize lack of immediate influence, feelings of inferiority when your child does not mature, dealing with anger released at you, Wanton disregard towards you.) But being an adult and an understanding person, it does not effect me....because they're kids who are going through a rough time. It's not easy being away from home at a young age.

To get an early start on how to handle kids, I will be applying for a baby sitting or nanny job on care.com, when I come back from my vacation. When college starts up, I will cancel my services, because I will be way out of town and focusing on school.

After college, I plan on moving out of state and think about helping out friends, neighbors, and family with their little ones, until I am ready to become a foster parent. Honestly, I believe I can pull through this and achieve it!
