I rub elbows with a lot of people who are putting their lives back together. I asked one of them yesterday what he was studying in school and his answer was concise and direct. He has his degree plan all set out, knows how much time he will need, what his internship will look like and what he wants to accomplish. My reply to him was not nearly as clear. It looked more like, "Um, I'm studying nutrition." Huh?!
This got me thinking and I might add, a little panicked. I do not want to be taking classes just to be taking classes, I want them to lead somewhere. That's the point - where do I want them to lead? I know what my strengths are and I know what my passion is, now I get to research where this will lead me. One thing for sure, I am not looking to hang a shingle on an office door at any time. From experience, I am not a good boss to myself; rather I am an excellent 'right hand man.' A teacher, yes. A leader, yes. A sterile office environment with strict hours is not for me. Rather, I want to be 'in the trenches' with people walking with them towards better health.
What are your plans for school? What degree are you looking at?
Take care, Sunny
