How did I get here?

Ever wonder how you got where you are today? I've been pondering it :) What a Journey.

I sit here and look around. My life, my home, my job, my ambitions, everything. Its all changed so dramatically compared to what i thought it would be like from when i was in high school. Somethings are the same - Lee and I are still together :) but now we are married, even in high school I knew that he would be in my life always. My family are closer than ever :) and I still love Winnie the pooh :)

But in high school I had so many ambitions - i still have ambitions now, but they are very different. I wanted to be a nurse in high school. the thought of helping others who needed it just made me happy. I put all my effort into studying - although i really sucked at school, i still tried my hardest - i did maths, biology, chemistry everything that would get me one step closer to my dream. My exams were very hard, tried as hard as i could but i just couldn't do it. I thought i had ruined my dream career. Nope. I went on and did a pre course at University to help me on my way to become a nurse. That was EASY. So i passed that and FINALLY got into nursing. First semester was heaps of fun. But i just didn't feel at home. This was something I wanted for years, but yet it was so foreign to me :( I just couldn't grasp it. Just made it really hard for me.
I started 2nd semester, but with that i got really ill. I lost my hair and I got diagnosed with a heart condition. I went and talked to my nursing coordinator and told her everything that was happening. She encouraged me to take a break, and maybe try again next year. Rather than upset though, i felt relieved. i went home and i was so happy. I loved the thought of nursing, but it turned out i wasn't good with the study. Only good with people.

I started to get better and i thought about what i could do with my life if i didnt do nursing. I thought about what i enjoyed, i loved doing hair and make up on myself and on friends! it was heaps of fun! So i investigated it! To no surprise I started getting very excited about this, i quickly applied for hairdressing to start me off! I loved learning i i quickly felt at ease with what i was doing. Im about to start makeup. Which i CANT wait for! Its just so much fun! Every part of me loves what im studying. and i cant wait to complete it!

My career is completely different to what i expected but i couldn't be happier. I found something that im good at, that I have an eye for. And slowly, but surely im getting recognized within the industry! I cant wait to finish and be registered to create a name for my self! Life is so very different to how i expected but I wouldnt have it any other way

much love
