staymysoul

A lot is on my plate these days so you'll be hearing from me quite a bit more on staymysoul (chances are nobody reads this but I like to pretend I have a couple hundred readers). I have never been direct about myself or what's going on in my life on a blog. Generally I tell a story, share a thought dealing with society, or flow with a poem; I'm never open about me that instant. Taking a step away from that philosophy I want to discuss a couple of things that are going on in my story.

It has taken me three years to decide on what I want to major in at school and where I wanted my studies to go. I was determined to never to be one of those students who switched back and forth between majors before going the way of General Studies (also known as Psychology). Over the lunch the other afternoon someone told me about their major that they graduated with and absolutely loved, anytime you hear someone say they love their major you should check it out. She graduated from Georgia State with a degree in Speech and Communications, she also said to checkout a concentration in Public and Political speaking. Following her advice I jumped on the website and read through the description and job opportunities and it really clicked with what I want to do with my life. I'm pleased to say this is the degree I am going to pursue over the next two years (hopefully two years... God help me).

I have been through quite a bit over the years trying to decide where I want my life to go. The hesitancy and unsteady footing allowed me to procrastinate in my studies that in my mind had no purpose. This was an unbelievably immature outlook on my education but I have no excuses or explanation, I had to go through it to learn. Now here I am wanting to make a difference and pursue a life of meaning. My gifts lean more toward writing and speaking and I have always had the urge to speak in front of others about love and relevant issues in our society. Looking to new found heroes and fresh ideas I have found there are many outlets available to me as long as I put myself out there and go for it. I'm very excited to share and have an impact on others.
