Future and bigger picture ( I accidentally did both)

My life- In my lifetime I want to do some big things. I want to graduate from high school, graduate from college, find a more permanent job, get married, have children, and watch them grow into successful adults, hopefully with me as a role model. In my life, my father was never around as much as I wanted him to be, so I want to make sure my kids know I am there for them 24/7. I want more than anything to simply be happy in the good moments and never lose heart in the bad. Life is hard sometimes, but I want to show everyone that it will get better.
The US- I want to see some changes in the way congress and the president function. I want more freedoms given to the citizens including abortion rights, gay marriage, and more open freedom of speech in schools. Today congress sits in gridlock and bureaucracy which leads to very little happening but almost no one doing anything to affect whether those people return to congress. We need to change the fundamental beliefs of the American people about voting. We need to show than that it is not simply a privilege but a duty of every citizen to help keep the country moving.
The world- I want to see happiness and prosperity throughout the world, not just in countries where the amount of money we have is high currently but also in places where there is not as much to go around today. I hope to see freedom spread across the world. I hope to see the slaves in America and abroad free and happy instead of caged as they are now. I want to see joy on the faces of every people, not just the White Anglo-Saxon Protestants.
Professor from Lexington Finally Bags Big Problem.
What solving this problem means for you
Lexington, KY- When Carson Dooley, professor of mathematics at UK set out to solve the P vs. nP problem 5 years ago, he simply began by writing. He opens his proof of over 300 pages with a simple quote from a favorite childhood writer: "To see me you would need a hole in the middle." This quote from Flatland, a fictional book about a square who travels into other dimensions and records his travels, indicates to the reader of the proof the stance which Prof. Dooley has taken and now proven: that there are some things that even man cannot know. The problem itself is simply a question of whether or not every process can have an algorithm written to solve it. The answer is we cannot. This will impact your life in several ways:
We now know there is no better way to solve trial and error problems with light switches: so don't worry, you are being as efficient as possible.
Computers will run more efficiently as they are now not having some amount of processing power used to try to solve this problem all the time. 
The world now knows that we aren't capable of anything, which is good because if we don't have limits we will never find more ingenuity than when we reach those limits and try to move beyond them.
