My Future Plans

Hi! Ok, umm before I post what I did for school today I would like to explain my plans for the future.
My goals and what the heck I want to do with my life: Well, a little while ago I read a blog about a guy who went on his own to travel the world for 15 years (so far). At the time I thought it was cool and a completely unrealistic goal for my life, but maybe I could travel for like 5 months somewhere. Plus I wanted to go to collage and stuff. But the more I learned about his life and lives of others like him, I became more and more exited about the idea, his life was kinda like my current life. Traveling, Exploring, Learning, Experiencing. When I realized that I really wanted to do this I tried to plan for months of how I could go to collage, save up enough money to travel, and pay off student loans while traveling. Then I stared thinking 'what if I didn't go to collage?'. The question seemed reasonable, not all successful people go to collage plus I would have a TON money that I will spend the rest of my life paying off. But if I didn't go to collage, what would I do for work? Write! The thought came to me immediately.  It has always been my dream in life to write a book, a book that everyone would know the name of, a book that was so popular that I would walk down the street with people calling and chanting my name. I had always though of it as a good idea as a side job.
  So now my plans have changed from going to collage and owning a company of some kind (probably architecture or interior design, which will still be a hobby) to living and at grandmas (yes dad, I'm kicking you in 3 years so be prepared ;), having two jobs and extreme couponing so that I can save 20,000 in three to four years. After I save that much I will go backpacking around Eastern US and Europe. 20,000 will sustain me for two or three years and by then I hope that I will have a few books, blogs, and whatever else to afford traveling the world (maybe China, Japan, Russia, South America, Africa, ect..) for another three or four years after the 20,000 runs out. While I'm traveling I would like to also try to save up as much as I can so that when I do settle down I can buy a small spot of land and build a house or tiny home (depending on weather or not I get married and have kids by then). Another thing I would love to do when I settle down is make a private school. I would (and almost currently do) have the curriculum be based it off of my homeschooling techniques I do right now (you only learn what you are interested in and what you think is worth learning).  And maybe before I do that I will go to collage and learn education.
   I have worked out the math and money several times for all of this stuff, and this travel thing can work. Plus I have the advantage, most of these people that travel (backpack) the world and have blogs say that they wish that they could have realized that they wanted to do this sooner so that they wouldn't have to pay off old collage stuff that they are no longer going to use. I plan to go to collage later in life so that I can travel without having to pay off old stuff. :)
  Even though I'm might hold off on collage, I am currently working on being able to take the GED and SAT next school year or the summer after that. I will then consider myself a high school graduate!(but I will always be learning) This is mostly to prove to myself that I am learning stuff and this is something to work towards. I haven't looked into the GED stuff yet, but I only want to take a few of the SAT subject tests like English/literature, Math, world history, German (possibly another language too). :)
    So... ya these are my plans. These are ALL 'If's. Things could happen in my life that draw me away from these current plans. And that's fine, the best part of life is not knowing the future, right? ;)
  P.S. here are some of my favorite travel blogs: http://twenty-somethingtravel.com/,  http://www.nomadicmatt.com/ and Pintrest and Google have thousands more sites that I haven't even found yet (if you find a good one send it to me!).
  P.P.S. this counts as English/ writing for yesterday and today, ok?
