Hope

Watching David Cook become the new American Idol certainly made me think twice about my own future to come. David Cook, a bartender from Kansas City (I think), rose from total obscurity to superstardom in a matter of a couple of months. Six months is all it took for Mr Cook to put himself on top of the world, a place he'd never imagined he'd be anywhere near in his lifetime. I don't know where I'll be in three months time let alone 6 months. As mentioned before in an earlier post, I have some dreams I'd like to fulfill before my 21st year draws to a close next year. I don't really need superstardom, but the perseverance, peace of mind and focus to get those goals.  

"At the end of the day, the show is about finding a star. In my opinion, David, you came out here tonight to win, and what we have witnessed is a knockout."

I need to do to my life what young Archuleta did to his song. And my journey begins today. Congrats Mr Cook on a race well done :)
