Mom

There are times when I tell myself I would be happier with out her in my life...but then who do I call mom, or when people ask me about her, what do I say? It's hard now to talk about her, I can't imagine what it's going to be like going off to school and having to tell people that I don't know my mom because we've never had a relationship even though we lived in the same house for 18 years. I've never thought about this before. I always pictured myself going off to school and not really talking to my mom again...but now I wonder if that's going to help at all or just make things worse.

Time

So, I leave in 5 weeks. In 5 weeks I will be out of Waukesha in Eau Claire starting my new life, a life out on my own. Scary though. In 5 weeks I will be leaving everything I know behind and going into a whole new place where I don't know anything. It's going to be a scary adventure but I'm so super excited for it. =]I will most definitely miss everyone a ton though. How am I going to live without some of these people in my life everyday??

Career

So, I've really been questioning my career choice lately. I really want to be a teacher and be able to go to work everyday knowing that I get to do something that I love. However, lately I've really wanted to make a difference in someones life, a child's life. I'm wondering if I should change my career goal into doing something that will allow me to do that more. I want to be the change in someones life that I needed in my own. I want to be that person that a child looks forward to seeing everyday. I want to make a difference, an impact. But how?
