Well, since nobody is following me yet, I am pretty much just talking to myself. Not a lot of difference there, lol.
I have been having a mid-mid-life crisis. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I have been toying with the idea of being a teacher for years. I have been torn and haven't pulled the trigger. I was talking to my mom this morning about my questions and fears of being a teacher and she just blurted out, "Just be a Lawyer". All of sudden, everything felt right. I have always wanted to be a lawyer, even as a little girl. I was afraid of all the schooling, but after trying to get my Associates Degree for 9 years now, length of time is no object, lol!
I have changed my major at Gainesville State College to Paralegal AAS. I am very excited and anxious to start this new chapter of my life.
I remember, 10th grade at North Hall High School in Ms. McNeary's English class, we were reading To Kill A Mockingbird and one of our assignments was to do a mock trial. I was the Defense Attorney and we won our case. I still actually have my opening remarks, questions for witnesses, and closing arguments. In my yearbook, Ms. McNeary wrote that she would see me one day as a fine lawyer. I knew exactly what I wanted to do back then, why did life have to get in the way and muddle everything up?
I am going to go home and scan my yearbook pages to keep as a reminder to never give up the dream. I have just been hitting the snooze button, lol!
I know I have a very long road ahead of me! I look forward to crossing all the obstacles and pursuing my dream. I am very optimistic that I can do this!
I guess this blog will actually be a chronicle of my ordeal. Wish me luck.
