I’d hoped to own a farm where I would give riding lessons to people with disabilities. I’d be doing serious fundraising and grant writing so that I could expand my programs to

"The call that says your hard work paid off and you landed a job where you can use all the skills you’ve been building and all that information you’ve been studying."

Yes, this! And it's so inspiring to read that you're taking your confidence up a level to pursue what you want!

Thank you. I'm really trying hard anyway. I know I won't do well without confidence so I need to find it somehow.

I'm almost 30 and I had plans for this part of my life too, which includes marriage and children. I may never have that. I'm currently working on a new plan for a change in career, going back to school is looking appealing.

I thought I knew where I was going, too. Where I am right now is NOT where I expected to be at almost 25 years old. I can't say I'm exactly happy with how my life has turned out, unfortunately.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it improves soon. It's so hard to predict what will go on with our lives.

You're right to be optimistic. The way you are making things happen, it will come.

[imafarmgirl]

I sure hope so. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I relate to all of this a lot more deeply than I can publicly discuss. Go get that thing, and get that call.

Thanks. I'm glad someone can relate.
