Doing what you love

In the last little bit I have really discovered the value of doing what you love in life and not settling. Earlier this year I decided to go back to school, it started with me getting my high school diploma which morphed into me going to college in September. I learned through going to school that I really love to learn (how ironic) and I am very excited about expanding my mind through the exploration of the college experience.

Before I decided to go back to school, I had a very decent paying job as a sheet metal worker and if you would have asked me a year ago if I enjoyed my job I would have told you "yes, very much so". The thing was I did not know any different and now that I have decided to change my career in life, I have come to realize I really didn't care for my job that much and really what I loved was the money. We all know how that old saying goes "Money cannot by you happiness" and today I truly believe that. No matter how much money I made, I was never fulfilled inside and now that I am getting an education I truly feel fulfilled inside.

I learned in my life that things happen for a reason and that life has a funny way of working itself out. I fell into this amazing opportunity to have my education paid for and to learn while being paid which is like a dream come true for me. Also I am getting into a brand new course that focuses on Renewable Energy sources, which I find very exciting and fascinating. I regretted for a long time not getting and education earlier but life happens the way it is suppose to and now I have this wonderful opportunity.

I will be honest, I am not sure what this education will bring me but I know I am just really exciting about he prospect of learning. Today I am willing to trade all the money I used to make for the opportunity to try something new, travel the path of life, and to find what I love to do.
