New Beginnings

Wow, new beginnings. . . That's a phrase I have seemed to use a lot today. I guess that is mostly what I am hoping for: a fresh start. This last year feels almost non-existent, like it did not happen. I know why it feels this way too. Honestly, what did I accomplish in this last year? I took unimportant classes, only a single college level course to be exact. Nothing rather impressive there.

I managed to spend a majority of my time by myself, with the exception of my family, and a pretty much weekly visit from Sierra. I most definitely have been a social recluse. Its not completely my fault, but I know I need to take some responsibility for my lack of a social life this past year. I thought graduating from high school was going to be a mind boggling thing.

I assumed that my life would take off, and I was disappointed to say the least when it didn't. But here I am, only days from turning nineteen. With this birthday I am ready to embark on a new journey in my life. By the end of this month I will have started in a new school, University of Phoenix online. But that is not the only change that's going to happen. I am also stepping foot into a new career path.

Do not think though that I haven't given much thought to my new major, because I have. To be honest, it is a career I have considered since I was in elementary school. Psychology is a great field, with so many options for me to choose from. At this moment in time I am leaning towards becoming a social worker, but who knows how I will feel in a year from now.

Something else is on the horizon for me as well, I don't know exactly what it is, but I can feel it. I am nervous and excited for what the future holds for me, but I am ready to embrace it like an old friend. So I will leave you with a little poem,

I see my path,

Now shrouded in mist,

And I walk into it blindly.

Although I do not know

Where this road will lead,

I hope it will treat me kindly.
