What Am I Looking For?

In about one month, I'm turning 24. 24. TWENTY FOUR. I can't remember what I said I wanted to be when I got to this age back when I was in grade school. I don't think I never fully thought about it, even as I was in high school. I knew what I was good at. I've been great when it came to creative writing. I enjoyed getting in front of people and speaking; in fact, one time in Economy class, I was to hold a debate with a fellow student expressing the cons of sales taxing. I hadn't researched my side, so come debate time, all I did was give a speech, mimicing Dr. Martin Luther Kings "I Had A Dream Speech." Though it was hella interesting,entertaining, and pretty intense, I failed the debate bc I used nothing from the textbook like I was supposed to LoL. But back to my point...I never took the time to focus on ONE thing to try and make a life out of. It wasn't until I was 20 when I decided to go to TV/Radio Broadcasting school, where I finally thought I found something worth pursuing. I did great, both behind the scenes as well as on the mic and camera. But once school was over, and it was time to try and make use of the newly earned education, I came up empty. In honesty, I thought I could easily walk into a company and instantly become the next Howard Stern. After rejection after rejection, my motivation to keep pursuing this path started drying up. And now, here I am, almost 24 with no REAL direction. I'm currently working at the local Rec Center part time, where I've been for 3 years. Though its an environment I enjoy, where I spend everyday in a basketball gym, its not what I thought id be doing at this point in my life. I'm currently in the running for the Basketball League Coordinator at Lifetime Fitness. Though that too is part time, id much rather work there. Why? Because I feel its a more respectable job title, which at this point is big for me. I wouldn't be ashamed to tell people "Oh, I'm the Bball League Coordinator for Lifetime Fitness, the biggest gym franchise in the world. And the League I run is 3rd best in the country." As big as money is when it comes to work, respectibility is as important to me. I'm sure if I get that job, it'll soothe my issue of what my career path is for the time being. But in the end, I need to do something soon to solidfy my future. As much as I wish someone could come along with some kind of break for me, I know I ultimately I gotta do it alone. And I have to keep my motivation up if I want to succeed.
