I saw that you were perfect and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more.
Changes.
With some deep soul-searching over the past year along with my dedicated yoga practice I finally reached a point in my life where I realize I’m not happy with what I do for a living. I went to college right out of high-school to be a Educational Assistant. I dropped out after a year but I loved it, I had great grades, and amazing experiences with the kids. I just hated how EA’s were treated in the School System. I then went into Medical Office Admin and got my diploma. I work in my towns Hospital and it’s been almost 3 years now. I work full-time with decent pay but I’m not happy. I don’t have any passion for what I do. I sit at a desk and deal with paperwork, stats, telephone calls, registering patients, and demanding physicians/other staff.it’s very overwhelming to work in a fast-paced urgent clinic and be the only admin support there. I find that every couple of months I get stuck in this rut of frustration, being miserable, and battling with this awful gut-feeling that’s telling me that I want to do more with my life. After much thought I finally realized that I have the power to have CHOICES. I have a choice to go back to school and discover a new path for my career..and after all I have been through, all the obstacles, self-discovery, etc, I’m now leaning towards going to college part-time for a diploma in Social Service Work. This job would be about the same pay i’m getting now but it’s stressful, very hands on..and if i’m not careful I could burn myself out. On the other hand, it can be very rewarding. I would love to be able to work with the youth to be a guide in helping them reach a better place in their life like one did for me. I would love the opportunity to make someone feel confident in their capabilities and accomplish things in life they never thought were possible. I also wouldn’t mind working with the elderly..working in the health-care field I see so many issues with the elderly not being aware of resources available in the community that would make their lives so so so much easier. Its just scary to go back to studying. I’d keep my job now and still work full-time, do the diploma part-time, and put buying a house on hold for now. I also have to look at places to volunteer to really see what social service workers would have to work with..so start volunteering now and by the time the fall or winter registration opens I’ll have a year of volunteer experience in the social service field. I know I can do this and that I have a good heart for this job but my anxiety kind of kicks in a bit. The idea of a new challenge is definitely shaking me up a bit and my lack of some confidence says that I wouldn’t be able to handle it. (i.e if a teen goes off the wall) but I want to prove that voice wrong. We’ll see..just had to get this off my chest :P
