Comfortable

Posted on Monday, August 31, 2009 - 3 comments -

Lately as in the past month or so, I've been thinking. Probably more of wondering than straight thoughts. I've always felt some importance about me (not in an egotistical way). It might be due to my ever supportive and encouraging parents or a divine calling (or both), but I've always felt the need to do something important. I've probably spent most of my life determining what "important" means. I've never been one to want popularity or fame, so I've always looked for the small interaction that leaves the largest impact. I feel like I should be the one who helps someone cure cancer that doesn't get the media attention. Maybe someone who teaches a student that grows up to be a ethical world leader. The small things that no one will notice but will notice the outcome. I've grown up with educators and not because I went to school for 17 years of my life, but because my parents are teachers. I don't know if I find comfort in education because of this or if I feel drawn to it naturally and spiritually. I love learning. I love helping. But, do I want to teach? It seems the most logical choice for me at the moment. Yes it involves more schooling, potentially a PhD (to become a professor). While deciding between level of education is tough so is deciding between a M. Ed. and a PhD. On top of that would be deciding which school to take this adventure at. In the end will I truly want to teach or will I find another endeavor to pursue? The questions keep coming but I have yet to find answers. I've had many questions since graduation over a year ago and very few answers to them.
