My "goal" is to evolve as far as I can as a person. By that I just mean I want to grow as a person through my whole life. I have decided that, at least for now, educating myself and acquiring an ample skill-set are the most valuable things I can do. The core of my argument for this equates today's education to starting a savings account; later in life my interest will hopefully pay off.
"If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest." Benjamin Franklin
