Since I was a little kid, I knew deep down I wanted to be a teacher. I wanted to teach high school and maybe even be a principal one day. But that changed this year.
While working as an RA on my campus and being a member of the Regional Board of Directors of NEACURH and found a new passion for Student Affairs. And now, I have been questioning my whole future and my life basically.
So what do I do now? That was my first question to my parents; would they support me if I changed my life plan? Short answer, they did, as long as I did my research and tried my best. That was some relief. But still, my whole life has been determined to make a difference in high schoolers life and teach history to students. And now, I don't know what I want to do.
Growing up, I thought at age 20 I needed to have my whole life figured out, so it is weird to me that I am here. That being said, I have come to accept that it is okay. At this age in my life, I know that it is okay if I don't know what I want to do with my life. Life has a weird way of playing out, and things not going as planned, is normal.
So right now, who knows what I will be doing when it comes for a year, but I will be applying for grad school for both Student Affair and Special Education. But it's okay to not know what exactly is going to happen in a year. It's okay to wait and take some time to figure out what you want.
Basically, it's okay to not have your life planned, it's okay to change your path in life.
