Wow... This post is likely going to be all over the place, by design of course. As most of you know, I am a Social Worker. I determine benefits for the SNAP/Food Stamp program, as well as other government entitlement program benefits ranging from child care to Medicaid. Next Thursday, I will be finished with my undergraduate degree from Nebraska Wesleyan University and I am deciding on a few different universities for my Masters degree.
This year has been a hard year, a good year though. It is time for me to change careers. I have recently applied for a few different companies. I am not for sure what I want to do, but I know I need to be in a career where I foster relationships with people. Immediately, I think of pharmaceutical sales, a position as a buyer, something in the insurance industry.
I have done so much with my life, I have lost 170 pounds, I am graduating college, I have done things some never or couldnt do. My greatest accomplishment is never giving up on my education. I didnt do it like most do, but I didnt quit. I did it while I had kid, a family and a full time job. I will achieve all my goals. I just have to realize they wont always happen in the time frame that I want them to.
I am refocusing now on my diet and exercise needs. This is the next step... Time to finish this process, one I started long ago.
Have you ever had a year or a time period in your life that was hard, but it was a good year at the same time? What goals have you accomplished, what is your greatest accomplishment?
You have done soooo awesome!! I think it's great that you have lost that much weight, that you have finished school & are now moving on to even more new things.:) I don't like change at all..it pretty much has to be forced on me..but then I adapt. The past few years have been hard...separation & eventual divorce, issues with my oldest, sickness, etc. I didn't think I was strong enough to make it thru that..but I did. I know that there will be more hard times ahead...just hope that I can get thru those as well. You're an inspiration. As for as goals that I have accomplished...I have a job now, I have lost 40 lbs (it used to be a bit more, but I relapsed..so going to go from there), have tried to be more positive & not so negative about everything. I have a ways to go to reach my other goals...but I WILL get there.:)
