After a dinner talk about my future, it has led me to question everything. Growing up, I never had a set dream job in my mind like most kids. Take Allie for an example, for as long as she can remember she has wanted to become a gym teacher, because she simply love sports and kids. It's the perfect job for her and now she is going for her dreams. I on the other hand, I still have no clue on what I want to be or do. I think back in High School and I never had anyone say to me "Em, you need to continue studying this" or "Em, you will be amazing at this." Because nobody thought I could achieve anything, so I think personally I settled in the Hospitality World. Don't get me wrong the Hospitality World is amazing and it's not easy! But I think about my high school self and I think I chose it because I thought it was the only thing I would be good at. If I truly thought I could do anything and I thought I would succeed at it, I would've gone to: Nursing School to become a pediatrics nurse or a Pre School Teacher. But here I am twenty years old and in my junior year of college, in Travel & Tourism. A dream job of mine in this industry would be a sports coordinator. Where I would plan their trips, or events. I love planning and absolutely love sports especially NFL. It's not easy to get into and its very limited, so I'm trying to become more realistic because I've heard that what grown ups have to do. I also think I would love to work with children with disabilities (Sorry, I hate that word too). I think I would feel very rewarded doing that and it's so close to my heart. I have these goals and dreams but honestly no idea on how the hell I'm gonna get there. The world is a big scary place and I'm just a small girl who's trying to find her way through it. So if you're reading this and you are thinking about the future do me a favor:

As pathetic as it is, this picture is getting me through this week. I cannot believe that its finals week already and my fall semester of my junior year is basically over. This semester is probably my favorite one ever. I have the best friends who would literally do everything for me. I'm loving living with my best friend. I couldn't imagine this year without her and my two other super close friends! This semester was probably my worst with the courses, Managerial Accounting and Business Law, were very tough. Not my strongest, not one bit. But I am still hoping for over 3.0 (fingers crossed for me). It doesn't feel like Christmas, even though Allie and I have a mini tree in our room, with stockings, lights, and signs. Finals kinda kill the Christmas Spirit. But I am very excited to go home. I think I procrastinated enough, back to studying! Wish me Luck!
I'm entering my Junior year of college isn't that crazy? I'm going to have a roommate, Allie, I couldn't be more excited on rooming with her. We just click, she's the biggest NY Yankees fan and I am the biggest NY Giants fan. Im hoping to make a her a bigger Giants fan and you never know she might make me a Yankees fan!
As parents should, mine have been nagging me about making a plan for my future. To me though it feels forever away, but truthfully I know it's not. I think I'm just terrified a little bit, don't get me wrong I'm excited to see what it holds. I feel like Peter Pan sometimes I never wanna grow up, but also I cannot wait for it. So lately I've been thinking more seriously about it and I think I have an outline to a plan. Want to hear it? 1) Graduate with my bachelors degree at SUNY Delhi (currently in progress) 2) Go to the Disney Program Fall of 2016 3) Save my money while in Disney for an apartment for afterwards because I plan on staying down south when I complete the program. 4) While I'm down in Disney, go to interviews in the area, or somewhere down south, for a good job. 5) If all goes according to the plan I will have a job, I know it may not be the best one, but work my way up. I will have an apartment. 6) Live my life the way I want to, and always remind myself to be happy. So how does my plan sound to you? What did do you when you graduated college? How did you get to where you are now? Please tell me! I was saddened to learn the news of the passing of Robin Williams. I've seen several movies with him and he never seemed to fail to make me laugh as long as with the rest of the world. I will pray for his family for losing a husband and a father, I will pray for the world for movies may never be the same. Most importantly I will pray for his family for privacy in this hard time. If anyone ever feels sad, depressed please never hesitate to talk to someone.
If you or someone you know needs help, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). "In the last two weeks, the Ice Bucket Challenge has quite literally “soaked” the nation. Everyone from Ethel Kennedy to Justin Timberlake has poured a bucket of ice water over his or her head and challenged others do the same or make a donation to fight ALS within twenty-four hours."
"With only about half of the general public knowledgeable about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, the Ice Bucket Challenge is making a profound difference. Since July 29, The Association has welcomed more than 70,000 new donors to the cause." http://www.alsa.org/news/archive/als-ice-bucket-challenge.html I'll be honest with you I was hoping I wouldn't get nominated to do this and when I found out I was dreading it. I even blackmailed my co-workers saying that if they weren't nice to me I was going to nominate them. I did the challenge on a cold summer day and it wasn't that awful! Check out my video on my Facebook page! Did you get nominated? Let me see your video! |
