Let's Goat on an Adventure

Before the Beginning

I was an ordinary girl when I was younger. I wanted to grow up to be a ballet dancer or maybe later, a princess. I would work hard and I knew I was going to be rich enough to be comfortable in life, but not enough so that others were jealous, I would go to the exact college that I wanted to go to, and I would live in a very tastefully decorated house designed by, yours truly. There was much more to my plan, written down in an obscure notebook hidden somewhere or another but it was there and I was ready to make my dream life happen.
           I had a life plan all decided before I even turned ten. I knew what I wanted to be and do. I even had told myself that my favorite color would always be pink for then and always. I knew that I wanted to get married and have three kids, but the one thing I didn't truly know about myself was my favorite animal. Whenever anyone asked me that question out of boredom, or just trying to start a conversation, I just shriveled up and replied with a "mehhh", or the slightly more intelligent reply of, "my dear person, because of my short time on this earth so far, I have not yet begun to comprehend anythingh of that caliber quite yet, but thanks for asking." This
was the one thing that I hadn't figured out yet and set in stone. It was driving me crazy not knowing that one little detail about myself! I even knew my favorite food! But I hadn't a clue about what animal fit closest to my heart. After being asked by my 5th grade teacher what animal I wanted to draw for my project, I realized that until I found my soul animal, my perfect life plan would never be complete.
