Christmas Show 2015

Opportunities come at us every now and then in our lives. Whether we take them or not.. Well that my friends, is a whole other story. Eventually the path we decide to take allows us to realize the opportunities were there the whole time, we just weren’t sure how to take control of it. You ask some and the advice is always if you don’t take risks you don’t know how far you can go. Is that true though? I for instance can not afford to take any risks. I am a young mother, recent graduate, working two jobs deciding where exactly am I suppose to go next. I want to pursue my dream, law school. But what if that is just that A DREAM. I’ve come to accept it nonetheless. I’ve learned to understand that for some even if it includes me, it is a just a dream. But that doesn’t mean I am a failure, or unhappy. I have learned to see success differently. I have learned in order to be happy I have to come into conclusions that my DREAM is just a DREAM. I have to pursue my dream through other methods. I need to find what makes me feel good everyday, regardless of the fact that I didn’t become an attorney. I realize this now working as a teacher. There’s nothing I love more than working with those kids everyday. But how can I go from an attorney to a teacher? The answer is simple. My dream is merely to be an attorney. My dream is to be able to help others, to inspire, and to make a change. It is not about the HOW I am doing this, it is about finding out that I can reach my ultimate goal through another extent. Whether teaching is enough or  not is something I am fighting myself over now, because in this profession I have the chance to work with these beautiful kids, but it also gives me the chance to see the conditions they live in and how hard life is for some of them which leads me to want more. I want to do more, change more, inspire more, and affect more. I find myself at 23 years old feeling lost about my future, because it is so easy to dream. But when life and reality hit you, you need to be strong to stand up on your two feet and be able to say Happiness is all I need. As long as you find what ultimately makes you happy, the rest fits into place. Happiness is key.
