Maybe I am having my quarter century crisis or my mid-life crisis early, but there are some changes I need to happen.
I have been with my job almost 2 years, been out of school for almost 3 years and I am ready to go back to school. Don't get me wrong, I like my job, but I have realized this year that it is not something I want to stay with for too long. I like to be in some control of things, and with my job, there is only so much control you can have. I am starting to look into going back to school to become either an Occupational Therapy Assistant or an Occupational Therapist. It is a job that has a lot of options for careers, you can work in hospitals, nursing homes or schools. Since i have had the experience to work both in a nursing home and school, it looks like a path I could take.I am hoping with the amount of research I have done about this, that the school i want to attend will work for me. I hope it allows to me stay at my job for at least one more year and let me gain some financial assistance if it doesn't.
I am not one for change, I never liked it. When my mom switched grades to teach, I freaked out. When my mom retired, I freaked out. When we moved to a different house, I almost couldn't take it! But then, I make changes and I am okay with it. Maybe it helps me to make changes, it helps me accept change in my life if I make the changes. I am in control of them, so if it doesn't work out, i can have a plan of what to do.
Isn't that life is all about? Changing for the better, hopefully not for the worse.
