Thinking about the future is scary, but also exciting. After college is a whole new world. Some will go on to more schooling, some will end up at a job they love doing, and others will settle down and start to create a family. No matter what path us woman end up taking, we want to prove to others we took the right one, even if it ends up not being what we originally planned.
When I see the words "future woman I want to become" I instantly think of my mom. She is the most down to earth, sympathetic, strong woman I have ever met in my life. Since the day I was born she has brought nothing but endless love into my heart. She is my hero, and I aspire to be the closest to her duplicate.
When I think of after college I see a whole new perspective. I see opportunities, and a path that I would like to follow because I think it will make me the most happy. And that is all we really need in this life, is to make sure we are doing something that makes us happy. It will not be easy, but it will not be impossible.
I plan on attending a graduate school to extend my degree of Psychology into a Masters so that I can become a school guidance counselor. This was not the original plan, but after talking to numerous people about my personality, and what I am good at I am choosing this path because it fits me.
That woman in the guidance counselor office is ecstatic to be there. She helps each of her students individually, and makes sure they too are on a correct path. She is open to talk about anything because she wants a bond with her students that she dreamed of all of her college career. She is understanding, trustworthy, and joyful all the time.
That woman loves her job more than life and also wants to love a man the way her mom loves her dad. She has seen their love for years and dreamt of something like that for as long as she can remember. She also wants a family, a big one. She loves kids and she is obsessed with the fact that one day little combinations of her and her husband will be running around.
This woman wants to continue being the friend that everyone goes to talk to. Throughout college her friends would ask her advice, or just talk to her because she was one of those people that were so easy to have a conversation with.
This woman also wants to continue to make her parents proud. Her parents are her biggest supporters and they mean the world to her. She cannot thank them enough for their continuous positive advice, and optimism.
This woman is out there, and I am slowly starting to see they I am becoming her.
She will not be perfect, she will have flaws, she will make mistakes, and she will be disappointed sometimes. Since she was little she has taken her flaws, mistakes, and disappointments a little to harsh and let them eat her over most of the time. As she is growing she realizes that no one is perfection, and she is just human.
She is ready to take on challenges, face fears, and accept things she cannot change. She has always done things with an open heart, and she will continue to carry her heart on her sleeve.
She is confident, successful, loving, caring, and sassy but oh-so-classy.
