I have vented my thoughts and frustrations about school on this blog more times than I can count. I am at a crossroad, a major crossroad. I have only 1 unit left to get my Associates Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and Behavioral and Social Sciences. I have 11 units left in order to transfer. Here is my dilemma; I don't want to continue taking classes just to get them done. I still have not decided on a major that I am passionate about that would be worth the added stress emotionally, physically, and financially to go to Sac State. I decided to turn it over to some of my loved ones on what they pictured me doing 5-10 years from now...here are their responses:
Ellie: "Writing...Traveling...Writing...Kids..PTA mom...ahaha. A magazine editor would totally fit you..ever changing stories..."
Greg: "Married. 2 kids. Doing high end fashion photography."
Kim: "Teaching children in foreign countries theraphy through photography"
Angie: "I see you having your own business. Traveling a lot. I think youd be successful at running your own business, you have the drive. What about traveling and doing photography?"
Holly: "Nutritionist!!! Which would help your health along the way as you learn about the stuff. Or beauty editor for a magazine."
Melissa: "Writing more, married with kids, traveling, doing your own business."
Brandon: "Married with a family. Traveling and helping people in need."
Bucky: "I'm not sure."
Tina: "I see you being a mom. Raising a family. HELPING PEOPLE. Being a counselor for kids with troubled families."
Amanda: "Working with children."
Max: "I think following your dreams. Possibly in journalism or english."
Taryn: "I picture you having a successful photography company and happy in your life."
I loved each and every single response. It is amazing when you turn things over to your loved ones to get a different perspective. It is even more interesting how there is a common theme and overlapping in their thoughts.
I know this much about myself and my future:
I love to write.
I love art.
I love photography.
I love nature.
I love children.
I love the mind.
I love to help people.
If only there was a classroom that could teach me about all of these things.
