Decisions, Decisions

     When I first went back to college (8/08), I knew what I wanted. An AAS in Criminal Justice. Those two years flew by extremely fast and I feel that I learned everything I needed to know in order to enter the work force. However, what I did not prepare for was the fact that most positions in my area require a bachelors for entry level positions. Sooooo, yeah! Bummer, eh?

     But me, being the overly optimistic person that I am, decided that was not going to keep me down. I have decided to go back. Even if that means starting over from the very beginning, I will get my Bachelors Degree in Criminology.  Then, look out world! I will not set behind everyone else. My intentions are clear: to do the most with my life as I possibly can and to never settle for "OK" again! No, I will settle for nothing less than the best I can possibly do!

     Why did I go to college in the first place?  Well, for a number of reasons. I do what I say. I said I wanted a 2-year degree and I got it. I said I wanted to Graduate College before I was 32 and I did, (with one year to spare). I wanted to do it for my Grandmother, who raised me to always do my best. Granted, I didn't do it in the order she'd have liked, but I did it! I wanted to do it for my family; the ones who are always there for me in anything I decide. I wanted to do it so I could say, "hey, I done it!"

     And here I am, goals completed and working toward another.  Whether it takes me 2 years or a whole 4 more, I will accomplish this goal. Because that is the challenge. Moving out of my comfort zone of what I KNOW I can do to what I DON'T KNOW if I can do, but I'm damn sure gonna give it all I've got! I deserve no less than that!

     Until Tomorrow,
