goal.

lately i have been so confused with what i want to do with my life. i would always ask myself "where am i going?", "what am i doing at SLCC?", "am i getting anything out of this?"... 

-- in other words, i have just been confused! confused with school. not exactly knowing what i was getting out of it. not sure what i wanted to do with it. 

a few months ago i got the best opportunity ever. going into the whole cosmetology thing. i thought about it and everything was working out perfectly. i thought it is what i wanted to do! but until one night my parents sat me down and discussed it and came to the conclusion that i should wait another year and think about it -- i was so bummed! frustrated with my parents for not letting me take an opportunity that doesn't happen so often. for months i was upset by this idea. holding a grudge, attempting to get through another semester at college, thinking that "i could've had my life already set and going". im officially over that whole "grudge holding" feeling and moving on. why? because i'm realizing that cosmetology is not for me. i've recently decided that i want to pursue my dreams and do something that i love... photography.

for those of you who know me, i have always loved photography. ever since i was in 8th grade, when i won the photography part of the art show, i grew a love for it. it made me so excited! and ever since then, im always loving to take new pictures and showing people my recent work and feeling that exact same feeling all over again. it turns into an addiction-- but a good addiction of course :) 

i am so excited for the future! tonight i talked with my parents about school. crossing my fingers that they would think its a good idea. i told them that i could get my major in the fine arts program through photography at the university of utah! and they think its an excellent idea! my goal is to finish my generals at slcc and then transfer to the u and begin my major! -- i have never been so excited about school! and the best part is, that my parents think its a good idea too! it will be tough. but i know that i can accomplish it.  i will do my best and pursue my dream. 

thank you mom and dad for always being so supportive of my dream. you guys know me best and know what i really do want in life. not only that, but i need to thank the lord too. i put forth many prayers and daily studying to help me come to this conclusion. i know that i will be able to successfully succeed my dream. thank you everyone who has always been supportive of my work! 

i love you all.

xoxo.
