Looking Back...

I am a freshmen in college now and I find that I am constantly looking ahead and working for my future. I realize now that looking ahead and working towards things for my future is something that I have been doing since I was very little. Im sure that many of you might feel the same. as a child you always have dreams and goals that you want to achieve in your future. For me, as im sure most girls have, when i was young i dreamed that i was going to be a singer in a girl band with my elementary friends :) ...or maybe i am just making a fool of myself by admitting to that.... but anyway, I liked that idea until i realized that i am not musically talented hahaha. Also as a young girl i was always a tom boy and loved to play every and all sports and dreamed of becoming a pro sport athlete. as people grow up i feel like you go through many ideas of what you plan to do with the rest of your life and back then it is normal and okay. life goes by very fast and before you know it its time to make a real reational decision of what you want to do or be for the rest of your life. it is normal for college students to not know what they want to do with their life, and they change their major a few times before setteling down with one....or when they do pick one they just pick it because it sounds fun but they dont really think of what they will be able or want to do with that degree. I was lucky and was able to figure out what i wanted to do for the rest of my life when i was a freshmen in high school. I knew that ever since i was young i wanted to do something in the health field i dreamed of being a pediatrician but then decided that i wasnt into that many more years of schooling...but when i got to high school and was playing sports for school i became familiar with the athletic training profession. I was so excited because it was like the best of both worlds: i would be able to be around sports that i love for the rest of my life AND i would be helping/caring for people in the health field!! i was very excited and finally in my senior year of high school i was the student athletic trainer for my school and it was the best experience of my life. I KNEW that that was exactly what i wanted to do with my life. What i was wondering is if any of you dreamed of being something when you were younger and as you look at your life now...how have your desires changed?
