Who am I?
- I don’t think it’s really easy for an individual to comprehensively state who they are. I believe we are adaptable beings who have many path changes and growth in life, and we’re ever changing. In this current moment I am an adult who has felt the need for growth in my working life, an am navigating being in my mid-thirties and becoming a student again. It’s a lot more trying at this age than being a student at 18 years old with less responsibilities and less bills. However, it does prove to me I am adaptable and dedicated, and that makes me feel good.
What is it that you want to do?
- For the long term, I am still figuring that out. For the “here and now”, I would like to continue putting all of my best efforts into my schooling, create work I am proud of, continue to explore avenues of professional interests, and hone in on the skills I build along the way.
Why?
- So I can have a better tomorrow.
Where do you want to go?
- Right in this very moment of finals chaos, I would like to go on vacation because I am very ready for a mental break and to finally see family I have dearly missed. When I am back, I will be excited for the next quarter of building my skills and networks to get myself to a career path that sets me up for the things I want in life: financial stability, healthcare, eventually a home of my own, the freedom to travel the world more, and a healthy work and life balance.
What would you want to say?
- I am still on a path to figuring this out as well. I have never felt that I am much of a prophetic person. I’d like to have my work speak more directly for me and make a positive impact in line with things I am passionate about. Whether that’s working closely with communities I would like to help, or finding the right company to work for that is in line with things I care about… I’m not sure about the final path but I believe it will become more apparent when I enter the field as a working professional vs being a student.
