"A goal without a plan is just a wish."I'm going to make up a plan, I guess I'll start with my goals. Well, I probably won't get an awesome job without some college, and I won't be able to go to college unless I get good grades and save money now. Okaay, so first I need to make money, no problem, I work at Wendy's. I'll finish highschool in about half a year and I won't leave for my mission for a year and a half after that, soo...I think I'll work really hard and save at least 30% of my income. I might also take some community college courses to get some core credits out of the way before my mission. Then I'll go on a mission. Then I'll go to get accepted by BYU or UT and I'll become a famous businessman! Can't really plan to get married so I think that covers everything on the list. That wasn't so tough!

Before You Reach For The Stars, Look Up!
I started highschool back in Arizona; my first year started in '05 so you do the math and you'll figure out when I'm going to graduate. Perhaps there was nothing I appreciated less at this time in my life than getting up early in the morning and rushing to a moldy old building where I would be informed of what is fact and what is fiction. I've come along way since then. Highschool is almost over, so now what? I've taken an inventory of my goals: go on a mission, go to college, and get an awesome job. Oh yeah, and I've got to fit getting married in there somehow. There's a really cool quote by a guy named Larry Elder,

These are great goals, Erik! As for the marriage part, you are planning for that in all that you do right now with your life and in these other plans you are making. Marriage is not just in finding that right person for you, but also in the actual spending of a life time with them and beyond.
I think planning for marriage comes in learning how to talk to, understand, accept, and most importantly, listen to those you love. Because ultimately, after all is said and done, how you act towards your spouse determines how your marriage will be.
BUT as for everything else, congratulations on realizing that in order to have something happen to you, you have to make goals and figure out how to achieve them!! You are quite a few steps ahead of most of the peons around you now! :)
Rofl! I thank you both for your, um, expressive complements :)
