Teacher

blogging everyday has not became blogging every couple days. my life has been pretty mundane with nothing to penetrate my soul or mind. leaving me with nothing too intriguing to share.
although, the other day i was thinking about how my senior year in high school i set this blueprint of my life out. i laid out plans, aspirations, hopes and dreams. it was a rough sketch, pretty much an erasable slate of where i wanted to go in life. having some sort of goal allowed me to feel like i actually had something to persue in life.
three years has gone by and if you compared my blueprint to my life today it wouldn't even compare.

my hopes for my future as a high school student was to become a graphic designer. i loved everything that came with the design field. i spent two years in high school restlessly learning about photoshop, illustrator, screen printing, drawing and so much more. it became a huge hobby of mine that i enjoyed doing every day. it wasn't until my first year of college where i felt like my heart was turning the other way. that this hobby of mine wanted no more than to be just a hobby. furthering my skills into an occupation didn't even feel like an option.

at that point i hit a brick wall and endlessly found my self walking in circles. this time of my life seemed the hardest and the most stressful. it felt like my future became a piece of dust that i just swept away. i didn't feel right going to classes to learn about topics that may not even be relevant to my future profession.

thankfully, going into my second year i found out what i wanted to be. after all those childhood years playing teacher to my stuffed animals i couldn't believe that it's what i wanted to be all along. i kept looking into different fields that was far beyond my reach and reality. so, for those who are still lost in how you want to be a part of this society, don't give up. it's stressful but honestly, i prayed about and soon enough my future became so clear.

wanting to be an elementary english teacher with a minor in spanish was not even an idea when it came to looking for my major. but i'm excited to educate our future and to hopefully make an impact to the lives that i teach.
