So….. I just turned in my application for a company I’m really interested in working for in a location that I’d love to live. Please, please say a prayer for this process. I have neither the right major nor GPA for this job, but I’m hoping my position with my on-campus job will help me out a bit. I actually stayed up so that I could finish the application in one shot because I was so excited!
I will also be finishing up my application for that program which shall not be named. (Lol. I’m just not sure if I’m allowed to mention it online until everything is said and done).
Anyways, prayers are REALLY appreciated.
My family has made me very well aware of the fact that they don’t approve with the new direction that I see my life going. I’m hoping to go into Counseling (and/or becoming a Psychologist). When I expressed this to my parents (separately), they both (for all intents and purposes) made comparisons of that career to that of prostitution and/or custodial work. (Clarifying my position on prostitution as a feminist is for a different post. However, I do believe that custodial work is honest work). I know that I’m privileged in the fact that my parents encouraged me to pursue academics and, because I’ve spent most of my like pursuing that, I’ve never had much of a chance to disappointment (that they know of), but this was the first time they expressed such disappoint and (some traces of) anger. I know that there are worst things in life, but I’m moving on to a new stage in my life and, for the first time, I don’t have my parent’s support. In a time where I’m questioning my motives and needing to make major life decisions, they’re not there for me and it’s scary and disconcerting. It really made me double-think my future. Thank God I was able to go out tonight with my best friends, grab some food, get some drinks, and enjoy myself.
