On the Right Path

Trying to find an answer to my future. What do I want and where do I want to go? Can and will I be able to make a living for myself and help my family. Will I get a good job; one that I will love, so it doesn’t feel like work. Those are the questions I ask myself on a weekly basis. I am a “late bloomer” as some would say. Trying to get an education late in life after raising a family. People also say “your as young as you feel.” Well, I do feel very young at heart. However, I feel just as uneasy and scared as any young student. I want to make good grades re-learn how to study and adjust to doing papers on a computer instead of a typewriter; so off to school I go.

I want to bloom as an artist; I love art and computers. But, today at U.S.A.O. I had a teacher sit down and take her time to help me. She helped me get a clearer idea of what it would take to complete my degree. Finding a layout of what classes I had and what classes I needed to obtain my degree as a Graphic Artist. To see this outline on paper gave me a better sense of how many hours I would need to graduate and what year if I stayed on course. Knowing what was required gave me such a relief and comfort. I needed this help more than I knew. To ask myself the question “What did I learn this week at U.S.A.O.?” It was helpful to see my path of college on paper to get a better direction of my future. I also realized that U.S.A.O. has some really neat and interesting teachers.
