Year one is... Done!!
9 years ago
... And it was a success!!
I'm so very pleased that I chose to go back to school.
(Don't let anyone tell you that if you don't go to college right out of HS that you'll never go... I waited almost 3 years before going back).
There were plenty of ups and downs but, I wouldn't change it for anything.
I've learned so many things about myself, gained new & valuable skills...
But most importantly, I finally found a place I belong, fell in friend love and found a future career goal that feels real.
I went originally for wilderness & parks management (environmental interpretation as a focus), found I didn't enjoy interp... But I did enjoy the management aspect of the program! However, I began feeling lost within the program. The people are great but, with my passion seemingly lost. I contemplated finishing the year out and quitting... It was then that I found myself being pulled into another direction, Law Enforcment.
More specifically; Wildland/wildlife Law Enforcment.
My goal is to become a park ranger.
Just days ago I felt so ready to get the year over with and to go back home, but now I already can't wait to go back... Turns out I feel more at home in a small town than in the suburbs/cities.
I've always loved northern Minnesota, but my views on small town America were jaded... Although they are not perfect, life is calmer... Sweeter... More loving, more... Me.
Anywho... Thanks for taking the time to read this, if ya did. Lol.
