I have never been an indecisive or spontaneous person, but I have learned that all my hopes and dreams weren't really what I truly aspire to be. I want to be able to start my life once I finish college instead of trying to find a graduate school and wasting 4 more years of my life doing something that my heart was not fully into. I thought I would be part of the few who never changed their major just because they knew that they truly loved what they planned to do in the future, and I really did, but I couldn't see myself having a future like that in the long run anymore.
When I went to college, I wrote my dreams down and what I hoped to accomplish in college, but I soon found out that my dreams were unrealistic after the first semester and that I needed to start thinking like a logical college student and not a 12-year-old with hopes and dreams. Sometimes you don't get what you want, but that is life. Sure I wanted to help kids who had disabilities or couldn't walk but trying to be a nurse at a hospital or a teacher would be just as rewarding of a job. I just might not be as rich in the end, but I would still be helping kids, which is all I truly wanted to do in the first place.
Choosing the right thing to do was pretty hard, but I had a bunch of people around me trying to help me figure out what to do, which helped me so much. I might have had everybody vote on my future career, but I just could not make the decision, which was hard for me. I am normally somebody who knows what she wants, way in advance, but I could not decide what I wanted. I normally think everything out and make a pro-con list in my head, but figuring out what I want to do for the rest of my life, is probably the toughest decision I have ever had to make in my short 19 years on this planet.
Sure this was a tough decision, but I know that no matter what I do, I won't be making a bad decision. I have a passion for each one of the professions that I am debating over. Ever heard the saying, "If you love what you're doing, you'll never work a day in your life," well that is all I want in life. I can't go wrong in any profession, but it will still be tough knowing whether or not I made the right decision.
