Welcoming the New Year

I don't know about everyone else, but I am seriously looking forward with great anticipation in starting a new year. This past year has been packed with too much excitement and disappointments. I have so many things that I'm blessed to be taking on in this new year.

First I will finally be able to pay all my bills by myself without depending on other people. I have decided instead of taking the full time 9am-6pm position that I was offered at one of the new casinos, I have chosen to stay at my current part time job (teaching sports to special needs children) and going back to coaching the novice swimmers on the team that I swam on when I was younger. This way I have a more fulfilling job and flexible hours to continue my second adventure which is school.

I love college but I have never been so excited to get back into the swing of school. First my financial aid came through so I will be able to go to school without worrying how to make my next tuition payment. Second, I have never really known what degree I was going to major in, but now I know and I have never been so sure what my calling in life is. I am going to school for a degree in recreation, once I get that I will become a recreation therapist and pursue continuing my education in Occupational therapy. Looking for grad schools has been very exciting. The majority of schools that I am looking into are back east, because they have the programs that specialize in Children with special needs. Since Courtney is planning to become a physical therapist, him and I are considering opening up practice together when we are both done.

The last thing I'm looking forward to is working on being a better me. I have had alot of struggles this past year that have mixed up my mind. So i have never been more motivated on really working on becoming the person that I've always wanted to be. so with one small goal at a time, I'm going to work on me.
