Life Update

So, if you follow along at all, you would know a lot of changes have been occurring in my life. Between my career changes, friendships, work... I would say my life has done a complete 180. If you asked me two years ago if I would expect my life to be the way it is today, I would 100% day no.

April of '22 I was working from home as a marketing coordinator convincing myself I was happy with my daily life. By November I was ready to take on a little bit of responsibility and got a puppy. In December I was let go from my job and suddenly questioning everything. For a year I beat myself up for not having a job.

It was also during that one year period I lost a neighbor, close family friend, and my aunt. To me, my life was at an all time low. It was then I was introduced to an amazing group of people who helped me gain back some confidence And for some reason, after meeting them, things in my life started to fall into place.

Things just weren't happening for me in the marketing industry, and something always told me I would love teaching, so I decided to make a career change. Currently, I am working as a teachers assistant in the World Language Department at a school with grades k-8. Honestly, as stressful as it is sometimes, I am loving every moment of it. I truly feel like I'm in my element and meant to be doing this.

Which brings me to my next update: I'm back in school! I am currently attending Pace University and working towards a Master's degree in Childhood Education. The end goal? To be an elementary school teacher.

It's a really exciting time for me, but I will admit I sometimes feel like I'm running around like a chicken without a head. I'm happy though. My family, friends, job, and even school make me extremely happy and that's all I could ask for.

So, that's the update. Thanks for sticking around. Until next time!
