Hello Everyone!!!
For those of you that don't know me let me start with a brief introduction. I have just embarked on the the greatest adventure of my life. What is that you may ask? The path of unemployment! I have never felt so secure in my life. Now, don't get me wrong, I want to work eventually but never again will I work how I have always worked. You know what I mean, subject to incompetent people, not enhancing the life's of others around you by the work you do. It's awful!! I feel so free!
I am currently a Masters student @ University of West GA getting my degree in school counseling. The education field is where it's at! I am so excited. I cannot wait to start that career and begin changing the lives of students one child at a time. Ok, I know you are thinking, "This girl is so cliche'". But really I'm not. I am just really passionate about education and how it can change the life of a person, especially children. I have seen how a crappy education or no education at all can affect the choices a child makes as they enter the real world. I have to make a difference. So, it makes me quote little cliche's sayings because I really believe they are true. If you can go over your education, specifically elementary, middle and high school, you know you can remember the teacher, counselor or principal that initially changed your outlook on school. I am telling you, it changes lives. I cannot wait to be apart of it and I cannot wait to continue sharing my journey with you.
So, take this journey with me. It will definitely be worth it! This weekend I plan to watch, Waiting for Superman, you should too. I will definitely blog about it next. Talk to you soon!!!
Cool!! I like it. I can undertsand about you leaving your job. I did too and only good things have happened to me. People (mostly family) told me I was crazy for walking out on my professional job. They were like this is the best job you ever had or this was really good money don't leave it. Yes those things where true. The thing that made me walk out on my job was how my company changed direction and I didn't feel it had it's employees in mind only the bottom line.I hated coming in to work there. It actually made me hurt inside. So I couldn't no longer work there. So like you I have started school in hopes of fulling a disire of mine to get a degree. Good luck and I'll try to keep up with your blog. Christopher
ReplyDeleteLove it! Sometimes we need that unexpected push to let us know it's time to move forward and do what brings joy to our hearts.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Waiting for Superman is an awesome documentary. Enjoy! *HUGS*
Girl! You are on the journey! So happy for you! I love you and I am in your corner!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am proud of you! Such courage, I am a middle age and I did not have the fortitude to follow my own path and leave corporate america until about 2 years ago. We all should strive to live our own personal truths.
