What To Do

I am sorry I have not posted on here in a couple of days.  I was up all last night trying to figure out what to do with my life.  I want to finish my degree.  And I am going to finish my degree.  So that is not the question.  I want to teach still but I want to teach traumatic brain injury students.  I have no desire to work in a regular classroom.  I want to work with Traumatic Brain Injury students.  I really want to help other people who have the same condition as me.  I thought about going back to school for occupational therapy but I really do not want to go back to school.  I hate school as it is.  I really do not want to spend another two or three years to finish school.  The only thing that sucks about being a teacher is that the pay sucks.  I would start off at 30 grand a year and no hope of ever getting a pay raise.  The state does not pay extra for when you get your masters.  So I am not going to do that now.  I just do not want to spend any extra time in school.  I am tired of it and cannot handle it with my brain injury now.  My last year of school is going to be really tough now with my injury.  I used to could handle anything but now I cannot.  I called Stepping  Stones today and they have a brain injury class.  They asked me if I wanted to come visit.  So I think I will.  This is my passion to work with traumatic brain injury students.  So I would like to do something  enjoy doing.  I feel like I am fifteen again and have no idea what to do with my life.  I just can not figure out what to do with my life now.  After all that has happened I feel lost again.  I feel like I have no direction in my life.  So I thinking about going to Stepping Stones one day in January to visit and see if that is what I want to do.   I think its what I want to do.  I just hope I figure it out soon because I cannot go another night without sleep.

I think that is a great idea. Definitely visit Stepping Stones! Just imagine how much you can help those children.

We all loved having you at school and you are such a wonderful person. You will figure out what you want to do soon enough. Go visit and see if that is where your life will take you. :)
