My Future Autobiography

Someone gave me this idea of writing an autobiography, but not about the life I've lived but yet to come. I thought that's a great idea! Although life aften goes out of your plans, it is important to know what you want and what your goals are. So I wrote this autobiography on my life 50 years from now. 

As Peiran continues in pursuing her Bachelor degree, she concentrated more in Advertising because she realized how influential they are in people’s lives and she aims to be an influential person. She got an internship in her senior year in BBDO, a worldwide advertising agency. There she learnt a lot of practical skills in Advertising industry and also gained more interests for this career. What was even better was that it was a paid internship. She paid off her last year’s tuition with the money she earned. It took her one more year to get a Masters degree because she was in the five-year Communication program. As much as she loved being in college, it was exciting for her to step into the second quarter of her life.

She found an Advertising Assistant job in Los Angeles. She had visited LA two years ago during Christmas break and she enjoyed living there so much, so she didn’t give a second thought for relocating. Working as an Advertising Assistant was fun, everything was pretty much the way she imagined before except for that it was a 9 to 5 office work. She hated office works ever since she had her first job in the International Admissions on campus. She once told her mom that the admissions job does no good besides letting her know that she doesn’t like office work. She left the Advertising Assistant job after one year and started her own company as an entrepreneur.

She had always had this idea about an agency that connects designers, writers, photographers and media people with different projects of companies. The agency provides a platform for them to choose the project that they are interested in doing and signs them a contract with the company. In this way, these creative people can always work on the project that they are interested in. This Media Agency was like a baby to her; she worked hard and took good care of the baby, and the baby grew very fast. After 2 years, she had 150 people signed under her agency and there were international companies that offered projects to her. By the age of 27, she was married to her significant other.

One year after, her business went worldwide and she decided to open a chain company in her home country, China. She moved to Shanghai with her family and spent another 8 years there before they all moved to France. During that time, she son was born and two years after was her daughter. They both went to a primary school in Shanghai. She started supporting missionaries in Southeast Asia because she wanted to be part of this great mission even though she couldn’t be there physically. Their relocation was because of her new company in Paris. This agency was targeting the European market. She picked up French at the age of 35. Her company developed a few more chain agencies but she did not relocate with the company.

A friend of her mom’s introduced her to this movie base in Hawaii and she thought that she would go for a visit and it was a vacation anyways. However after visiting the base, she decided to help this company in publicity. She moved to Kona, Hawaii with her husband when both of her children went to college. She advertised this movie company and its movies using the network she built in the past few decades and made this company well known. She traveled around the world with her husband and the crew for this movie; that was just an incredible way to fulfill her childhood dream!

At the age of 60, her son was mainly in charge of her companies. She and her husband became full time missionaries in India. She told her son that the companies will continue supporting missionaries. She left a notebook with her autobiography to her son and daughter to tell them how short but wonderful life is and that they need to cherish the moment they have in order to be prepared for the time to come.
