the future
So I have been thinking about what I want to do after I graduate from good ole Mary Wash. And I have come to the conclusion that no matter what anyone says to me I have to be able to ultimately decide what I want to do with my future. I can't stand people telling me what I can and can't do especially if I know I'm capable of doing it. Does that make any sense? Well it did in my head.
I guess I have been thinking a lot more about what I want to do because I already had a plan on what I wanted to do for a living. I originally wanted to be a geneticist or a psychologist. Well if you didn't already know, I decided instead to major in English. I felt it was a better fit for me. I think my English degree will give me more options for my future. I have heard it all be before though. "So you want to be a teacher?" Well maybe I do. "What can you do with an English degree?" I can do anything I want to. I can be anything I want to be. "Teachers don't make a lot of money you know?" Yeah I know that but I don't care. And there are plenty of other jobs out there that make less money than teachers and are probably the worse jobs. If I really was in it for the money, trust me I would have picked a different major and a different career.
But you know what? I can completely change my mind. Maybe once I actually start teaching I'll end up deciding not to teach for the rest of my life or I could end up hating it. Who knows? What I do know is this: I have options. I'm never limited to what I have a degree in. The degree I will earn from college will enable me to get my foot in the door to a LOT more places than others who don't have a degree at all.
Okay, so I'm done venting for this entry.
PS. I'm still not okay but I will be one day soon. Thanks to those who care. I appreciate it...
