My Life, and Dreams for the Future.

I've been thinking about my life recently. About how it's not what I envisioned it at all... and now, after it not being what I thought it would be, I can't imagine my life the way I originally wanted it! What I mean is this, that I used to see myself as a college grad, working, but maybe not as a full fledged teacher. Maybe something more along the lines of an aide, or a preschool teacher. I have to admit, I saw myself with someone at this point, potentially working on buying a house, kids? Who knows...

And yet when I sat down with a friend today and talked about how we ended up where we are today, I didn't even think about these long lost dreams. Instead I envisioned my future, the blurry picture that it is.


I don't intend to scare my co-workers or family members when I talk about the future, but I think that is what I end up doing when I start to verbalize what I envision. For though I'm not sure where my life will take me next, I know that I don't want to stop learning. I don't want to stop loving others. I don't want to stop challenging myself. And so, I don't see myself sticking with the same position year after year, nor do I see myself moving back to my Ohio home on my own.

I want to use my teaching license to the fullest potential that I can, which means that I just may end up teaching kindergarten yet again! Beyond this, I would like to potentially see myself teaching others to do what it is I love to do, teach. Professor Williams? I kinda like the sound of that...


My life is not what I thought it would be, that's for sure. If it was, I wouldn't be the person I am now. I hope that through all of the life I've lived I have been continuing to accomplish my goals of learning and challenging myself. I know that I have not been perfect at this, but I continue to try.

This is my life. And surprisingly enough, I like it.
