I will be finishing my first semester in college this afternoon, and it feels amazing. I have really enjoyed classes so far, and I feel that it will only get better. I am confident now in the benefit of my waiting to go back to school, because I look around at the kids fresh out of highschool and see their lack of drive and dedication, and I know that I would have probably been the same way, had I not lived a bit of life first. I know for a fact that is the only way for me (beyond some fateful rocket ride to fame that no one, much less me, can count on) to be financially successful and fulfilled is to get a degree. I see my mother living paycheck to paycheck at 52 years old, and I know that I will not let myself be that person. I have to take strides to secure my future, and they need to be purposeful ones.
I plan on getting my bachelors degree in Social Work, and then my MSW, and finally getting AASECT certified as a Sex Therapist. Big plans all start the same way: with baby steps. I may be just a community college student working part-time as a nanny right now, but one day I'll have my own corner office and make six figures from talking about sex.
Dreaming had finally been replaced by doing. Love it.
