where to now?
When I was a little girl, I used to dream about growing up to be a multitude of different things. From farmers to doctors, my future was limited only by the costumes in my playroom trunk.
Now, as a college grad, I still see my future as limitless, and it is that lack of direction that has left me in such a quandary.
As a high school student, I wanted to find a way to fix the world. For my career portfolios, I always wrote lofty aspirations that included working at the UN and nonprofit work.
Instead of pursuing international relations in college, I sought out a career in journalism. I drifted over to corporate communications because I thought that would be a wiser way to pay back my loans than trying the journalist beat….I feel like I betrayed myself a little though.
For the longest time, the one thing I knew I wanted to do before leaving this earth is to make an impression. Even if it is only with one person, I want to change his/her life for the better. I want to make an impact. I know that I can do that outside my professional career, but why?
