Getting Into Action

This week for me has been only somewhat progressive for me. I say only somewhat progressive only because of the fact that I feel like I only got half done of what I wanted to get accomplished. I am happy that I was actually able to do the first steps that was on my flow chart though. During the week I had to go in to meet with my advisor to know which classes I was going to need to take next semester so I can register for my classes on Tuesday. I was a little nervous though only because I knew that we were going to be talking about a lot because I was in the middle of a breakdown about the road on to my future. The semester for me had been slowly slippin out of my hands and I saw myself being an undergraduate longer than I would have liked. Talking to my advisor cleared up a lot of things for me. I realized what I wanted to do in school that would help me to still at least enjoy being in school than being more stressed out than anything. At first I had my mind set on becoming a doctor and majoring in Biology. If I was to continue with that plan, I would really be set far away from my goals because of the rate that I was going at. I have now decided to major in Psychology and to go into Pre-Occupational Therapy. This was an option that I looked at last year as well, but I still wanted to give the Bio major another try which didn't work out so well. I told my father about my decision change I had made and it seemed at first that he didn't want me to give up on it, but he also knew that the decision I had made was going to be what was best for me. The toughest part was me telling my mother though because she wants nothing more than for me to be a doctor. She was very upset when I told her, but I know that deep down inside she is finally realizing that I can only handle what I am capable of handling. Even talking to one of the doctor's that I interviewed helped me to realize what I really wanted. I was glad that I was able to go in to actually talk to her though because she gave me a lot of useful tips about getting through school in general.
After talking to my advisor, I see the road to my futre a little more clearer now. Going into pre-occupational therapy seems to be a choice that I like because it is still going to invlove me working with people and health. The steps from here are to continue with the courses that I need that are going to fulfill my degree in majoring in psychology and for me to prepare to go to pre-occupatinaol therapy school to earn a master's degree. Even though this is just one career path that I am on, I will still find a way to fo other things that I would like to do in life like still wanting to work with the youth like at youth foundations or even to still set up a foundation that would help support young children in other countries who needs it. I also feel accomplished this week because I have actually mapped out a vision board (got the idea from the documentary The Secret) for my life in which I wrote that I would do this on my pink card last week in class. It's not completely finished but it is mapped out. One major thing that I wanted to do was to apply for a job at Macy's for a seasonal shift over Christmas break but that didn't happen. Hopefully it will be able to get done this week though!
After this week I felt a lot better about my life. I mean at first lost, but now I feel as if I know where I am going.
