My Future

February marks 6 months since I moved down to FL to volunteer. While some weeks seemed to drag on forever the last few months have simply flown by. This means that i only have 6 more months to do everything that I wanted to do, to explore this state, and spend as much time as possible with the people who have become my family. But this also means that I have maybe 3 months to figure out what it is I want to do when my year is done. One of the reasons I decided to do a year of service was to take some time off from school. To clear my head and get away from test, papers, and projects. I thought that by coming down here it would just be a little vacation from school and a snippet of the real world and what to expect when I was ready to enter it permanently.


So what conclusions about my life have I come to in the past 6 months and what are the otions I see for my future. Well for one I don't really want to go back to school. I know I have to because there is no way to get a job as a counselor without a masters. But bleh!
I have also discovered that the idea of graduating and being in one place at one job until I retire DOES NOT sounds fun to me. I like moving around and trying new things, new jobs, new experiences.
Finally whether I get a full time job in some other area or decide to do another year of service with AmeriCorp, or even if I decide to go to grad school I don't know where I want to do it. For the first few months I whined and was adimit that as soon as possible I was going to get out of FL and return to IN to my friends, family, and familiarity. But things have changed. WHile I'm not 100% sold on staying in FL, I know what I would be leaving if I went back to IN, and to think about that makes me want to cry. I also have an idea of what would happen if I moved back and that idea doesn't appeal to me either.

So yeah as of right now the plan for the future changes sometimes on a daily basis. I would greatly appreciate prayer for discernment, trust, and wisdom and I move forward in making decisions. Also if any of you have any words of wisdom or ideas, or people that are looking for a counselor without a masters let me know.

Love and miss you all
