What am I interested in

I have to write this, I have seemingly been so confused for so long. Like I was trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. I do not need to do this anymore and I do not have to have this clean succinct plan on how to accomplish all of my goals. All I know is the following:

1) I love working and living internationally
2) I love making money and want to be financially sucessful. Which means paying off debt, having money for retirement (a good one) and

What are you passionate about? International everything! Law, Business, Trade, Affairs, Relations, Wars, Cultures. Being in the field and working with people to think of innovative ways to address the needs internationally. I love studying the effects of the underlying sensitive social issues: democracy and governance, human rights, poverty alleviation and economic development BUT I am also a great innovator with tremendous entreprenuerial spirit.

What are you good at? Leadership, Strategic Planning, Organizational Design and Communication, Research, Analysis, Program and Project Management, Public Speaking and Presentation, Oral and Written Communication, Communication Strategy
