Finding my Future

Pre-K to graduating high school and I never really settled on what I wanted to do. I felt embarrassed and stupid for not knowing what would become of me. All my friends and classmates were ecstatic and had plans for the future. I just wanted to graduate just so I could be done with school. I was never one of even thinking of going to college. Just the idea of it would make me cringe. I wanted to do what I wanted to do not thinking of my future, just thinking of living in the moment. So I packed my stuff and moved in with my sister 2 hours away from home. She was attending college, and I would need to find a job to pay my very first apartment rental bill. I was excited with that in mind thinking I was a responsible adult. I had not only found one job, but three that I had worked all at the same time. Working 1 part time job just did not cut it for me and being in a town where I knew no one, I was pretty bored. Working these 3 jobs really made me re evaluate my life. It made me think. It made me question is this what my life will look like in the future? I figured I could work 1 full time job and make more money if I had a career. I remember in high School I attended a hands on training coarse for Dental Assisting. I never paid attention in that class because I never thought I would do something like that in my future.  But I knew I needed to find something better for my self so I looked into some classes and graduated 6 months later. I found a wonderful job I enjoy and even met my best friend there. To this day we still work together. Sometimes it just takes a thought and action and you’re already stepping forward to a better future. You just keep going till you’re happy where you’re at. I am still on my journey. Even though I have been in the dental assisting field for almost 4 years I am now furthering my education into a dental hygienist field. Never stop bettering yourself. Keep going till you reach your finish line.
