Embraces new life journeys....

My sister started her first few days of her "new life." Okay so maybe it is not her new life, but she is starting the path to become a doctor at The University of Utah. I am excited for her to embrace new challenges, knowledges and a new field that is her calling in life. I went to a BBQ with her for all Utah Medical Students and it made me realize how amazing the journey is towards her new life. She is like a baby taking its first steps, she is taking her first steps towards her ultimate career aspiration. Friday is her white coat ceremony in which the Medical School physically welcomes the first years into the start of their new journeys. I personally am excited to watch and embrace her new journey.
I guess I am on a new journey as well ever since I moved here. My journey took a slightly different direction with myself deciding to take a few more classes at the community college. Classes that would not only help to further my education, but also classes that would help me with my future career. While I am still deciding if working in the Sports Industry is my life calling I am taking classes that would be beneficial in all careers. I am taking a web site design class, Principles of Interviewing, and CPR and First Aid. After being at Oregon State the past four years and then transitioning to a community college has been an interesting switch of pace. I am really enjoying the small class sizes at the community college level. Being a student at this level you really get to engage not only with your professor, but with other classmates on a more intimate level. There are more opportunities for extra help outside of the classroom and the professors are more willing to sit down and talk your future plans. I have come to like the way most of my professors handle class. Most of them don't believe in midterms or finals and they like you to get more of a hands on learning style than a lecture style of learning. It is so nice to take classes that I want to take versus classes that I need to take.
I am working on embracing my new life journey. I am working on bettering myself and learning to be happy on a consistent base. I am challenging myself mentally, physically and emotionally. My two areas in which I am working to improve upon are being more patient with everything that I do and I am trying to give straight, to the point answers.


Till next time...Smile, be safe and have fun everyday!
