When I was in highschool I KNEW I wanted to be a nurse. So, I took medical science, and the certified nurses' aid course. I did rounds at the nursing home...and discovered that I wasn't cut out for that type. I really wanted to work in the main hospital...in OB. Then, I graduated and already had a job as a waitress, so I stayed there.
I quit there a year later, and became a personal care attendant. I liked that work...still not going to college...but they kept sending me to places where I just didn't feel safe. So, I became a nanny....and two years later I was going to be married.
Still, no college, but I don't feel like I failed.
These days, if you don't have a degree, people don't feel that you are "worthy" or that somehow you have no ambition or brains. This is not the case with me. I have ambitions, I haven't "given up"...I just have new priorities, and new dreams!
I would like to do photography, and to become a doula.
I know that if things "go wrong" I will go get a job and do what I need to, but I have faith that its not going to come to that. People hear about our current struggles and it seems as if they are trying to be mean...but I try to give them the benefit of the doubt, and assume that's not the case.
We Will be exactly where God wants us to be. If that's with my husband still a part of the military, with me at home with our boys, the that's it....if its some other scenario, He will lead us in that direction.
I'm no quitter! I haven't given up on my schooling...it will still be there when I'm not as needed right where I am!
