Is your light turned on? The green one of course. This figurative "green light" is in reference to what drives you, or me rather since this is my blog. After starting to read The Great Gatsby and experiencing the incredibly vivid color descriptions of F. Scott Fitzgerald, our class was presented this question by our teachers. This was also supplemented by a recent New York Times article that referenced Fitzgeralds novel, posing the question, what is your green light?
Sadly, the only thing I can think of that truly drives me is my future, which would somewhere along the way include a level of financial success. This is not to say that happiness will be compromised, but both components play a part. As awful as it sounds all I really want to do is get into the best higher education institution possible and get the best possible job I can out of college. Laying it out in this manner makes my future sound depressing and devoid of any enjoyment, but I really don't see myself striving for a nobel peace prize.
