So I am sitting here trying to come up with an idea for this stupid essay for Dennis. And I find myself with few things to care about at the present moment. I have had a lot of things on my mind lately and classes are far from it.
I have found myself wondering what I will do after college. I am going to be graduating with a teaching degree, but I am worried that it is not what I really want to do with my life. What if I get in the classroom and hate it? Is this really what I want to commit my life to?
What if I decided to work with animals instead? Or better yet, I could combine the two and work in conservation education. That is probably why I love my summer job. There is so much to know in the field of conservation and it is noble work. Someone needs to do it, it might as well be me.
But I chickened out. It’s not that I don’t love the major I am in right now. I am just not sure if I love it AS MUCH as something else. Something I have felt a calling towards for a long time.
Unfortunately, a lot of people around me don’t understand the importance this has in my life. They don’t get what I am passionate about. Therefore, they don’t get me. I have a friend who has been somewhat scolding me and trying to be my mother about this situation. She is encouraging me to follow what I really want and possibly rethink my whole college career. I will have wasted four years on a degree I don't want. And I understand where she is coming from. But I really don’t know what to do about this.
Too much going on right now. This started out as a stupid free write for class. And now I ended up worse off than before.
