Finding Your Passion
Posted on October 12, 2010
In January 2009, I watched my youngest son graduate from college. As I waited patiently for his name to be called, I watched the procession of older students receive their degrees one after the other. Funny…I thought…they are the same age or even older than me (at least they appeared so).
Slowly, I began to realize that I had no more excuses…no more buts…no more reasons for not going back to school myself. I thought about all the lectures with my own children through the years about how important having an education is.
I like to compare my contemplations of going back to school to the children’s book “The Little Engine That Could” that states, “I think I can, I think I can, I know I can.” (or something like that) During my 1st session in the fall of 2009, I was tentatively optimistic that I could REALLY DO this thing called “college.” Then, I received my first ‘A.’ Then, my next and my next. And, here I am today, one year later still getting great marks knowing that I really can do this thing called “college.”
My experience as a student has opened my eyes to a completely new world of possibilities that I never imagined! I have found my passion in psychology. I just needed to find my confidence to go back to school. My attitude, which I like to share with other students is, “One paper at a time!” It’s a healthy attitude when you are stressed, “One day at a time,” or “One moment at a time.”
So what is your passion? Have you thought about going back to school but aren’t sure if it’s for you? Trust me if I can do it, you can too. Part of the leap means choosing the right school and the right program for the perfect fit.
Take the leap
Find your passion
Satisfy your soul
