Continuing my blog

   This post would be the last one I would have to write for enc1101. However, I do not plan to stop making posts after today. I would like to continue to blog long after this class ends in order to reflect on it in the years to come. I probably would have never thought to create this blog on my own and I have been surprised at how therapeutic it is. I am so thankful to Professor Carswell for insisting that my class participates in this blog for a project.

Counting blessings...

   Today was another good day, but something happened that will probably change me forever. I was talking to a person that I met through a coworker and she shared a very intimate detail of herself with me. She recently became diagnosed with an STD and thought that it was in my best interest to be aware. I respect her honesty and the strength it took for her to reveal something like that to me. Right now I am just really thankful of everything I have, and the problems I don't.

Chill day.

   Today was the first day I have gotten to relax in a while. I still managed to register for classes in the fall though. Today was a day I just really needed to myself. I finally had the chance to enjoy myself, and laugh like I haven't in awhile. Now that I am working as hard as I am, I appreciate this day more than I thought I ever would.. I feel ready to take on the world once more tomorrow in order to realize my goals.

New perspective.

   After working at a hospital for almost two months, I realize that my initial career choice was never for me. I originally wanted to pursue a career in physical therapy, but I have had the opportunity to speak with those in the field. To even get your foot in the door, you almost have to obtain a masters degree. Every physical therapist I have spoken to is paying off large amounts of debt as well. Most importantly, I do not think it is where my true passion lies.

Another busy day.

   Today was another busy day, but I'm not complaining. I went to the basketball court for the first time in the past couple of months. I also had a great workout this morning that should leave me sore for the next couple of days. Even though I feel exhausted, I also feel satisfied with everything I have done today.

Ambition

   I met a person today who is very interesting. She is focused and knows the exact blueprint she for her career plan. It is refreshing to come across someone with so much focus, but it adds pressure for me. I do not even have the slightest clue of what I actually want to do in life. This girl restored my drive to keep exploring different options, in spite of the frustration.

Inspiring day.

   Today, I found much needed motivation from several individuals. Ray Lewis, Sean Combs, and Denzel Washington helped me realize that my struggle now will be worth the payout later. These are people with humble beginnings to their stardom and have failed multiple times. This helps me to accept my shortcomings and ignore my fear of failing in what I choose to do. I was always easily deterred from most things just because I failed at it a few times. From this day forward, I will set a new trend and see whatever challenge I take on to the end.
