I was thinking to start things off, I would give you a summary of my past goals/educational pursuits and what they currently are. Here's an excerpt from
Adventures that I wrote during the month of August:
I changed my major officially the week before school started! My new major is now Recreation Management Youth Leadership: Leisure Services Management with a Commercial Recreation emphasis. Yes, I have had four majors in my five semesters at BYU (IR, Economics, double majoring in French, and RMYL: LSM), and if you count the dropping out to go to Pastry School idea, I could be five for five.
If I remember correctly this is how my career goals evolved over all that time:
Ambassador to France --> work for the Foreign Services in the Economics department (French emphasis obviously) --> Economics professor --> Hospitality (eventually my own B&B)
NOW.... for my current plans
- Go to Disney!
- Go to Pastry School
- Get my Bachelors degree
- Start working on my BYU degree online once January 2012 comes around
- Find another program that I can for sure finish
- Become an accomplished Pastry Chef
- Open my own Bed & Breakfast in my 30s
- Get married and have lots of babies whenever Heavenly Father sees fit to throw that in (Granted, this is always part of the plan. In fact, this is Plan A, everything else is always Plan B.)
Alright, if you're thinking "Wow, this girl is really unstable", then you would be correct. However, I know my path has been [mostly] guided by the spirit. I know I would not have friendships and certain experiences without all these changes. Some people are lucky enough to find exactly what they want to do early on, most people search for a long time, I hope only a select few are as indecisive as I am. But believe it or not, I'm grateful for my journey thus far. I just hope its not very much longer :\
haha my favorite part of this post is "Wow, this girl is really unstable"...it made me laugh out loud in the SWKT computer lab!!
