Look, I'm glad you're reading this, but if you're here to learn more about the Carls, I can't help you. I, Natalie Hines, am not apart of that story. I didn't discover any Carls. I'm just a normal college kid, trying to find my place in this ever changing world. Lately, it's been changing too quickly for me to keep up.
History remembers people like April May. History remembers those who have a hand in how the world is shaped.
History forgets people like me. I have no control. All I can do is ride the waves and hope for the best.
This is my story. I'm writing this for my English 301 class, but I'm posting it online too. Writing for a grade terrifies me, so I find it much easier to start if I'm also writing for my blog. Aside from my professor, I'm not entirely sure who's going to read this. At the moment, there are 7 billion other people living the same experience as me. My perspective isn't exactly unique. Maybe, one day, long after I'm gone, future generations will discover my blog and turn English 301 assignment into an award winning novel. But for now, I'm just going for a C. I apologize in advance for any typos and my lousy grammar. Most of my writing assignments are inevitably be written at the last minute when I'm running on caffeine and desperation. This is why I'm majoring in numbers and not words. Although, I'm actually looking forward to this assignment for once, so I might not procrastinate as much as usual. Who knows, maybe I'll keep the blog going.
Hopefully, I'll be able to visit Lagos Carl this summer. I somehow managed to score a summer internship with a Christian charity based in Nigeria. The pay is garbage, but I'm not here for the money. I chose Civil Engineering because I'm good at it. I want to use my major to make the world better. My dream is to be a project designer for Bridges to Prosperity. Unfortunately, they don't hire interns.
I don't know how this story will end. Events are still unfolding around me. For now, I'm just going to write what I see.
