Instead of writing a general blog
About feelings, issues or opinions.
I thought I would take this opportunity to explain
Just exactly what's going on in my life at the moment and how i got here.
In 2010 I became a leaver from EHS with the intention of studying teaching at University.
Oh how things have changed....
After months of trailing through University Prospectus and Applying for Jobs
I found inspiration from someone a bit closer to home (Selkirk!)
I realised that I wasn't ready for Uni and
I wasn't ready to commit the rest of my life at the click of a UCAS offer.
So as you all know I left for Rwanda and it was the best decision I have EVER made.
While in Rwanda I had A LOT of time:
To learn to appreciate the smaller things in life
To grow as an individual & take care of myself
And to think things over.... and over and over.
With this time I realised that Teaching was not for me,
I didn't like the idea of barely bonding with a child and the strict professional relationship.
Anyone who knows me well enough will appreciate the heart I have for helping others,
It is a great passion of mine and one I want to be able to tie in with a career.
After months of searching and changing my mind I found the perfect course for me; Child Nursing.
This allows me to combine working with children and helping others into one amazing job.
A few interviews later I was 1 Conditional and 1 Unconditional closer to achieving that goal,
But Napier or Aberdeen...
After weeks of thinking, many pros and cons lists and many opinions later
I decided to combine MY heart and MY head and accept RGU Aberdeen.
So now all the hard decisions are made and I am back to reality:
Continuing my job at the Coop in Melrose
Enjoying the time left in the Borders with great family and friends
Loving every minute I spend together with my fantastic boyfriend
And reflecting on all the right decisions I have made
Rather then dwelling on the wrong ones.
Now, for the first time ever, I have a plan,
And not just any plan, one I am happy with...
Now that's pretty amazing right?
