My Future

It's really hard for me to say where I see myself ten years from now, because I change my mind every single day. I will share today's view of where I see myself in ten years, even though that vision could change tomorrow. Ten years from now I will be thirty, so I hope to be "settled" down by then.

In the next ten years, I hope to fully enjoy young adult life. After graduation, I want to go to grad school. I want to become certified as a therapeutic recreation specialist and also possibly a child life specialist. I am hoping to find a program that will be able to incorporate both subjects. After becoming certified, I would like to find a job where I could work with kids in hospitals. I am hoping to find a job that would be easy to work part-time, because I want to have a flexible job when I start having kids. I really don't care a whole lot about the job description, as long as I can work around kids. Eventually, I would like to use my business background to manage and oversee programs in a children's hospital.

Ideally, I would work somewhere around Atlanta, and I would be living in a suburb outside of Atlanta. I hope to be living close to my family, because they are very important to me. My sisters and I are very close, and I think it would be fun if we all lived somewhat near each other. Ten years from now, I hope to be married and starting my own family. I don't want to put a timeline on marriage and kids, but it would be nice to be married with maybe one child by the time I'm thirty.

My biggest goal is just that I'm happy and that I find myself doing what I know I am supposed to be doing in life. I know that my path may take me in directions very different from what I envision, but I hope that ultimately I like where I end up.
