Since I was about 13 years old, I knew that I wanted to have a career that was focused on children. I have been an avid babysitter since I was 13 and I wouldn't want it any other way. All through high school, I remember babysitting at least 5 days a week in between going to school.

There is just something about children that make things seem more simple. It wasn't an overly stressful job, other than the occasional temper tantrums from the kids. I always went to work with a smile on my face and left feeling so loved. The kids I have watched always show me so much love, whether it's just a hug, or just seeing their smiles as I walk through the door. After I graduated high school and went on to college, I was feeling pulled towards education.

I prayed and prayed, as I tried to figure out if that was what was right for me. After many conversations with friends, I knew that I was making the right decision. I am excited to use this passion in my future because I know that it is going to get me so far. As I am home for the summer and babysitting so much, it just serves as such a huge reassurance for me.

I have my doubts, just because of the struggles I am facing right now but I know that when God puts something on our hearts, we are supposed to follow it and put all of the trust in Him. Because He knows what he is doing, and what my future holds. It is always reassuring because God has our future already written out, and that is enough for me to know, and not to worry.

I am excited to see where He takes me and how He uses me in other peoples lives.
