Chasing a Dream.

As you have seen in some of my other post, picking a job/ career has been a challenge for me. First Art, then criminal Justice, then electrical, then just getting a degree was my plan. Finding what kind of work I wanted to do for a living for the rest of my life has been a life-long battle. I think my hardship of not fitting in the world because of my Dyslexia has stemmed down into me not being able to find something I enjoy and could make a living at. It took a lot of thinking and support from my wife and family to finally get my mind focused and create some kind of plan. Finding or creating a goal that I can indeed reach and obtain.

I'm two classes away from having my first college degree and being able to walk on graduation day. I have a dream that I'm chasing. The biggest dream I had was getting a degree from college in general. I was always told things I would never be able to do. Sadly, even at the college I'm at now, there have been staff members who have told me to just quit and get a job in something I was good at. They said college was not for me. For all those people, kiss my___!

I have had some good and bad advise for people, mainly the people that asked "What are you doing these days?".  The advise is mainly from  family and friends, and other people. A lot of the advise just is negative and sucks. They make comments like "That isn't a real job!" or "That isn't a good major in college" or even "I wouldn't do that major or career but you should do this instead".

I have spent a growing amount of time researching career fields. I finally think I might have found one that I might love working in. I have not officially decided on it, meaning I haven't told anyone yet besides my wife of course. There are some big life changes with picking the major and career I think might be my dream job. Its hard for me to make such a huge decision for me, but that effects my whole family. As a husband and father my first goal is to make my wife and son's dreams come true before my own. They are always before myself. Its a hard choice to make as the leader in my home. Apart of me feels guilty inside but I know I will be able to provide for my family and they will have a better life in the long run.

Only time will tell my story... Maybe I will be able to obtain my dreams. We will just have to see what happens, right?!
