I was chating with a friend this weekend that I hadn't talk to in 10 years. I lost track of him after he went on his mission! We were talking about what was going on in our lives now. He is now married , has been for 3 years and has a little boy. I was telling him about my adventures. I have served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints after I graduate with a degree in psychology from VCU. I am currently working as a Pre K teacher and going to school part time for my masters in teaching special education. I told him, I am not married yet but I have done pretty well for myself. It hit me I have done well for myself. I am someone that has strived to be the best I can be. I have worked hard to receive a degree. I worked hard to go on a mission and served faithfully as I could. I am now continuing on with my dreams! If you asked me as a 8 year old child what I wanted to be when I grew up it would have been a teacher. I changed my mind many times through out my life on what I wanted to be. I wanted to be interior designer, travel agent, librarian, psychologist, marriage and family therapist, a postal worker and much more. I went to Averett University and VCU and received my degree in Psychology. Apparently Heavenly Father has bigger plans for me that I hadn't even began to think about several years ago. I came off my mission ready to go out to Utah to go to a master's program out there but... prayed and pondered and knew ... that staying in VA and getting my degree in teaching and special education was where I needed to be. He also directed me to the specific school I am in as well. I was seeking out different schools in the area, it was Mary Baldwin that sought me out where as others did not. Even though my desire is to one day have a family, I know that for now this is the path for me!
