Dreams.. What are dreams and what are their purpose? Dreams are visions of what we think about and possibly want to happen. Their purpose is to show what will happen or what could happen if we choose certain paths to take or what have you. Dreams are little movie clips that play in our head to show us what we are doing wrong or what we are doing right to that we might fix whatever it is we need to fix or to continue doing the right thing.
As I'm sitting in front of the computer this morning at 12:58am it occurred to me that I need to blog about my dream and my road to my dream. Well, it all started back in 2008. It had been 2 years since I lost my Grandma. I was so close to graduating. I didn't even think I was going to graduate. But i did. However i didn't get to walk across the stage or actually have my diploma but i did graduate, it's on my transcript. I know, ridiculous, right?!? Anyway, Feeling so low and that I wouldn't amount to anything, i told my mom one day while i was laying out with her sun bathing, that she might as well give up wanting me to find someone and all that yadda yadda stuff that goes along with finding your soul mate, partner, etc! She tells me that I'm foolish and that i will find someone i just have to be patient. Someone will come to me. Funny enough though, my Grandma told me the same thing when i was younger. Weird i know, didn't expect that to come from my Mother too! LOL. Well, that actually happened. I met my soul mate, my partner, the love of my life, on a Saturday afternoon in June. We went to a get together, drank, ate, and talked the whole night. Yeah honestly, that's all we did. We just talked the whole night about ourselves. Looking back it was so awesome! It was just a relaxed night just talking with my best friend. We literally were talking to each other like we had known each other forever! After that, we hung out and did really cool things together. I was taught how to crab the poor way and it was awesome. After that, came the month of July. At this point, we had known each other for a month and honestly it felt like i had known him my whole life. He asked me out July 4th at 3:35 in the morning. And everyone wants to know why i stay up late at night and into the we hours in the morning. Anyways, soon after we talked about the future and he told me his dreams and wants for me. He told me that he would like for me to figure out what i want to do with my life other than be with him for the rest of my life. So i thought about it and decided that i wanted to go to college and that i wanted to be a preschool teacher. i decided on Childcare as my profession because when i was a child and attended childcare i loved my teachers. They were so kind and dear to me and listened to me when i was feeling sad. I also want to make a difference in the world by reaching out to children. I want to be that one teacher that changes at least one child's mind about school and about life. At first, i was scared. Like really scared because i thought that i would never be accepted into college or even graduate or even make it through college. But Billy reassured me that i can do it and that i will be fine. So, in 2010, i applied to Thomas Nelson Community College. That summer i registered for my first class and passed. The following semester, which was fall, I took some pre-reqs. I passed all of them. 2011 came, and i registered for spring classes and took my first child class. It was great. After taking that one class, i knew that Early Childhood Educational Development was for me. After that, it's been up hill for me in my classes. The only thing I'm struggling with still is being a procrastinator but i think I'm grasping it by the horns and i think I've got it managed now. Let's just pray and cross some fingers! LOL!
This road to where i am right now was long and hard. But let me tell you it was totally worth every sweat, tear, and time. I would not take back anything I've done! This road has been great. It's still going but its slowly almost over. I just have about 8 or 7 more classes to do and I'm done. I know, I'm slow at achieving my degree but i rather be slow than be completely overwhelmed and exhausted by the time i finish. I want to finish feeling good. This is going to make someone bust out laughing but when i finish college, i want The cranberries song-Dreams to be playing! I'm such a nerd but i don't care! :)
I just can't believe how much time as flown by these past 4 years. Billy coming into my life set the first stepping stone into my road to love, happiness, and my dream! I never would have thought i could do it if he hadn't came into my life. He and God deserve much more than i could ever offer. They are amazing and my hero's! I will be forever grateful for them!
Dreams.. We all have them but it's what we choose in our life to make them come true is what is beyond extraordinary measures and is what is completely awesome! Go on and dream but make them come true! :)
