After a little less than a week, I had come to the conclusion that I was changing my majors -- both of them. I decided to give up on a good-paying job down the road, and instead, decided that 'following my heart' was the better option. Oh, and then I thought that starting a blog would be the cherry on top of all of that. Crazy, right?
I was originally going to go to college for Secondary Education, a double major in English, a minor in Religious Studies, and an interfaith certificate. I was a bit overambitious. It took a whole year of those classes to make me realize that I was just doing what felt comfortable. I liked teaching enough, so, why not?
But until one of my favorite people, LaVonne, my former Girl Scout Leader, and as I call her, my 'Mama Number Two', asked me if I was doing what I truly dreamed of, I had realized I couldn't tell her yes.
Did I wake up and immediately think, "I can't wait to be a teacher."? No, I didn't. My first thought every morning had to do with wondering what I'd write for the day, and even if it wasn't about what I'd write, I'd toy with dialogue of my characters in my head until I had it just right. Before I went to bed, I wondered what ideas I would wake up to. Writing was such an instinct that I had forgotten it was my biggest dream.
And that brings me here. Through all of this crazy, chaotic changing, I know that somehow, writing fixes just about anything for me. A blog was the next step. So sit back, and enjoy all of the twists and turns of an almost 20 year old's life, and maybe even laugh at it, I'm sure it'll be interesting.
