Where was I five years ago?
In 2011, I was attending SUU; I didn't have a degree yet. I had decided to do Family Services and Studio Arts minors. I planned on applying to grad school to become a Marriage and Family Therapist. Instead, I didn't go to grad school. I had a baby. I worked a lot for a little bit of money. I did pencil commissions. I illustrated a children's book. I built a house.
What do I want from my life in five years?
- No big gaps in my resume
- More about family, less about a job (and maybe put the job aside if its what my family needs)
- Money isn't the most important consideration
- Help my kids to:
- Be involved
- Be successful in school
- Be gaining new experiences
- Be pursuing/discovering their own passions
- Be a [...] parent:
- Kind
- Patient
- Involved
- Attentive
- Forgiving
- Never work at a job I hate
- Do work that feels meaningful
- Have an identity outside of "mom"
