Blog Post #2

A few years ago I was talking with my Grandmother, whom I call Granny. She told me a story about my aunt; my Granny's oldest daughter, and how after she turned 40 years old she returned to college to get her masters in nursing. After my aunt accomplished getting her masters she went on  to became a successful head nurse at a prestigious hospital helping patients with heart conditions. My Granny continued telling me that after my aunt succeeded in getting her masters and began a successful career in nursing she was happier then she had ever been in her entire life. 

At the end of my Granny's story she looked at me and she said, "I would like to see you happy and it's never to late to pursue and education. Hasn't that always been your dream? To go back to college and get a degree.?" 

See, what happened to me after I turned 40 is I had lost touch with myself. I felt at times that I didn't know what I liked or disliked; what I wanted and didn't want. This happened to me after a lifetime of trying to please others, submerging myself in jobs that weren't a good fit, and forgetting to listen to my heart and remember my dreams. The story my Granny told me inspired me and reminded me of what I wanted in life once again.

Shortly after my focus was about going back to college to further my education to enable me to broaden my knowledge, get a degree, and deepen my critical thinking skills. Once I started on the road toward my goal, everything started to fall in place. Since making this commitment and staying focused on my goals, many opportunities started to develop. I finally figured out what I wanted in my life.

Thanks to my beautiful Granny I remembered my dream and nothing will stop me from achieving my goal.
