My life goals

 While growing up, I went through several different life goals. I was the typical kid and teenager changing their mind 24/7. For the longest time, I wanted the money. I didn't care how long the schooling would be or how unhappy it would make me. If it made me rich one day, I wanted to do that. As I grew up I realized it was not at all about the money. When picking your future, it's so much more important to think about if you'll be able to make it to your kids baseball games, if you'll miss holidays with your family, if you'll be sick of something in 40 years. 

When I was first starting college, my dream was to be a vet and open my own clinic. This came to me one day when I realized just how much I adore my Lana girl and when she starting racking up the vet bills. This was something I actually had passion in and it was not about the money at all. I loved the idea of being a vet one day. It still hurts me to say, but I dropped that dream. I have been struggling badly with my science classes already and personally, I don't think I could get into veterinary medicine when I am struggling this bad already. 

I don't really know if I have a specific path I am on right now. I changed my major to radiation therapy and have my new classes all picked out. I'm not in love with my new major. I will probably switch again but it's not something I'm too worried about right now. College is teaching me that you have to focus on your own well being and happiness. So right now, I'm not focused on a career, I'm focused on myself. I will still do my homework and try to my best ability, but I'm going to focus on my friends, family, and my own life. My final goal will always be to have a happy and healthy family, no matter what my career is.
