Dreaming to help


My life goals needed a change

I needed to teach, I needed to learn

I started out in management helping people to grow

But I felt that that just wasn't enough for me to nurture and blossom

I needed to change and change that I did do

I went back to school to develop and learn

I majored in anthropology and minored in history

I needed to grow, I wanted to be at the top of my field 

 

Now that I am standing here in front of this class

I can't believe how happy I am to be giving back to this world

To then look back and ask why I am here 

I realize I need to help more...
