Over these past three months I have met so many different people, from so many different places, doing so many different things with their lives. A lot of them took breaks from their lives to come over to Europe and just explore and see what life has to offer. I've had a lot of time to think while I've been over here I've been inspired by some of these people and their ability to do what makes them happy instead of what is viewed as a safe life plan. I've decided that I am not going to keep going down the safe path in terms of a career and that is why I have decided to drop my education major.
After 15 years of school, I've almost started to hate learning. It's not the actual material that I hate, but rather the system of teaching and learning the new material. I've thought about it all semester and I've realized that I don't want to spend my life working in a system that I hate... Who wants their kid to be taught by a teacher that can't stand the school system anyways?
Yes, this is a big change and somewhat of a risky decision, but I've never felt so free. I can do whatever I want with my life - there isn't a set plan. It's scary and liberating at the same time. I'm going to complete a couple of business minors before graduation in May of 2010 and then just see where life takes me.
Plus this means I can work in another study abroad trip. Yessss.
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
