I also met this amazing girl named Becky who just got a job as a Director of a hospice center. She literally makes people's dreams come true for a living. We were at a bachelorette party and randomly started a serious conversation about careers. I sat there and listened to her ideas on how to make her patients comfortable and happy. She made me want to get up and DO SOMETHING! Seriously, words cannot express how inspired I felt after talking to her. It made me question myself and what I was doing for other people. I'm not doing a damn thing sitting behind a desk all day, pushing numbers, filing statements and receipts, etc. This...just isn't me.
What is interesting to me is that I've lived my entire life as if I would become a lawyer someday. It took a lot for me to come to terms that I may not want that dream anymore. I started to think that I could be happy living in Champaign and working at the U of I in business and finance for the rest of my life.
The truth is...I can't sit behind that desk anymore. I have never felt more certain in my life about something. There are so many different things I can do as an RD. I can't wait to get started.
So there it is!
