Crossroads

  There comes a time in everyone's lives that they will experience a crossroads. A time where you don't know which direction to go in. Do you go down the road that is familiar to you simply for the sake of similarity or do you take the new road and as Robert Frost would say "the road less traveled".

 The crossroads is a very symbolic image of how my life is going currently. For the past eight years I have been running in the direction of my future and I am finally at the point where I have to stop, take a breath, and choose which road to travel down. It is both exciting and terrifying. I am soon going to be starting nursing school and I am so excited to start but at the same time I am sad that I am going to be leaving my current job. I have been working here for almost 2 years and it will be hard to imagine doing anything else. There are so many new things that are happening and I know the next couple of months are truly going to be a time of change. There is going to be lots of new experiences and there will be lots to learn from them.

I think my new theme song is "Go the Distance" from the movie Hercules. This song is a very inspirational one because it truly preaches that no matter what is going on you CAN achieve all that you set your mind to. I know the next year is going to be a very challenging time for me. Starting nursing school, learning a new method of studying, living on my own and so much more. The next year is going to be full of lots of changes and just need to remember that I CAN go the distance.
