So I was studying at a local coffeeshop today. There were two ladies, probably in their mid to late 40's, just doing the regular chat session. We started talking...and this, was definitely not the usual small talk I frequently encounter and find very very uncomfortable. Nope. I discovered one of the ladies had been a nurse for decades and she's actually a sort of counselor for RNs and RPNs. One of the ladies asked me...if I had 10 million dollars, what would I do with it? I told her I would travel. I'd love to have the money to be able to educate and provide proper nutrition to undernourished women and children all around the world. If I had that much money, I told her I'd love to start community gardens all across the city and I'd love to teach people to use good nutrition as a means to prevent and control diseases. She told me later, that's where my heart lies. She ensured me that that profession I had decided to pursue was one that would suite me. I've been doubting my career choice ever since the lack of support I'd been getting from my peers. I constantly hear how it's a very dirty job and it's not the profession I've wanted to do for the past 6-7 years. My grandmother, said something to me that I've taken to heart and it's something I refuse to share with anyone else. To think a complete stranger really ensured me that this is a profession that will definitely allow me to pursue my dreams and my heart...I think it really solidifies my decision.
I told them about how I think...as I'm getting older, money's becoming a bigger and bigger issue as to what I want to do. Both of them shook their heads and said "money's never an issue. if you really want to do something, money will show up." I think I'm going to remember that when I really do come out of school and put my ideas into practice. Take risks right?
Anyways...I absolutely love how you can avoid small talk... even with complete strangers. Love it.
On a side note: updating more frequently has really done me good. I can't wait to go back one day and read and relive all of these moments again.
