Life
So we all know that life's a bitch and have Definitely experienced it by our early-almost mid twenties(Scary!).
But this business of trying to decide what I want to do next year shouldn't be as scary as I'm making it out to be. I mean, people in their mid-40's go back to school and switch careers! So I just have to get over that I could be letting go of the future that I have been dreaming and yearning of (and still am dreaming and yearning for) over the past ohhhh....umm...as long as I can remember? No wait, that would be a tiny bit of a lie...wanting to teach in an urban setting came into place in high school. Other than that I decided I wanted to teach when I was a wee tot.
BUT, I have also always wanted to be an author/loved words/would love to be an editor or write articles. In fact I wrote some articles in high school and attempted to start a newspaper in either elementary or middle schools, I can't remember which.
There is also the idea that I could go to Bucks CCC for a Liberal Arts major with a focus in either Women Studies or American History. Now why those two you ask? The first is geared towards education and social work. The second towards library science, government and public administration, research and teaching, journalism and publishing, urban and regional planning, public relations, and foreign service. So they are both a mixture of what I want to do since I do want to go and teach abroad and teach in an urban setting and help the world type of dealio.
Yet again I feel like I could run into issues there since I've been accepted into Bucks for the fall under early childhood (full time evening, my bad!) and in general the Liberal Arts major is a two year program in which you transfer...somewhere ELSE. Not To Bucks. Meaning I would get my degree in under two years. And then! Then I could go to Temple fo a Masters in Urban education. And later to Millersville for my ESL certificate. Sounds all peachy right?
...I just have this feeling like there's no way it can work out like that....and that going to Temple for elementary ed right now won't work either.
