Changing The Way Things Are!
Are you longing for something different? Are you not happy with where you are right now in your life? Do you feel in your gut, that this is not where you are supposed to be right now in your life? Well, I do, and I am doing things to change it! I have been teaching at the same school now for 6 years. I have taught everything under the sun from Physical Education to E.S.E., and have also coached basketball, volleyball, and dance club. I am 31 years old as of about a week ago, and am not completely happy about where I am in life.
I do own my own home, I have a great s.u.v., and I also have an awesome dog! So, what's missing? Well, seeing as how I am 31 years. old, never been married, and haven't had any kids yet is a start. I know several people my age who have been married for 10 years, and have 3 kids! So, that's just an example of what is missing. The other thing that seems to be lacking in my life is my job. This may sound ridiculous, but I just know that I will not have to be doing this job (or any other job similar) for the rest of my life. I do not want to have to go to a jobsite for the rest of my life, and have to worry about alarms, etc... I want to either work online or be a stay-at-home mom. This is primarily why I went back to college to get my master's degree. My degree, that I will hopefully be getting on April 2nd., is a Master's of Science in Educational Media Design and Technology. I went back to get this degree so that it would give me a one-up on other applicants applying to the virtual online schools. I would love to work for Florida Virtual Academy, or its sister company, Connection's Academy. It would be great to be able to work out of the conveniences of my own home office, and spend the rest of the time raising my future family. So, we will see. I am going to shoot for my dreams, and see what God has in store for my life!
So, step one is to recognize that you have a choice and step two is to do something about it... looks like you are most definitely on your way. As for your personal story, there are those of us who married in our mid-twenties and then divorced in our early-thirties, so there's no right way to do, accept perhaps to be true to yourself and your values and begin to build your life there. Dr. Phil, eat your heart out! :-)
