#ToughQuestions
Initially I started college because I agreed out of foster care and had no skills to survive. College and financial aid provided me support and structure. But I kept changing majors. My debt kept climbing and I couldn't choose between chasing dreams of singing and art vs something "responsible" ... Psych, political science, English teacher. I quit then moved across country.. and spent time discovering myself. Went back to school for fine arts. When I had a child things changed. I went back to school for Real Estate and worked in it ten years. I wanted to support my child. It was not until the past 8 years that I've managed to blend together what I'm passionate about and career. Went back to school for nursing, then certified health and wellness coach and yoga teacher/therapist.
Being in school with no direction is costly. Is an adventure, but costly.
Being in school with purpose, is rewarding and worth it.
Knowing where to start, building a foundation that you can branch into ancillary roles, and expand is priceless.
