Why I Decided to go back to school..

Hello loveeeees! I am back with some big news! I know I have been slacking on my blog posts and it is because I’ve been focused on getting back into school. I am excited to announce that I started my classes April 19th and I am going into week 4!!!!! My major is Fashion Merchandising and Business and so far I am loving the classes. I am taking classes that have my full interest which is something that I like. I hope this career change directs me into the path that is meant for me.

They say “you miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.” Well this is me taking a chance at something that I been wanting to do since I was 18. I always knew fashion was my calling but I was too afraid to go after it because I felt that it wasn’t the “normal” career my parents envisioned for me. I always knew I was different and that I didn’t want to go for a medical or office job which was what they expected, not that there is anything wrong with that but I was more into the Arts and Fashion path. Fast forward to 12 years later, here I am taking steps to achieve a goal that has been on my list for years.

I am not going to sugar coat it, these past few weeks have been quite the adjustment. I am a mother with a daytime job and a blog, plus I have wifey duties to take care of as well. So yes it’s hard but nothing comes easy. Thank god I have the support of my family that helps me with Isaac on those days I need to study. I am trying to balance it all and take it day by day. One thing that I have found helpful is trying to do my work little by little every night versus waiting until the last minute to do everything. I also use my planner to help remind me of any events or school work that is due. I never thought I would go back to school especially after a baby, but there is something in me that tells me this is the right time. I want my son to be proud of me and most of all I want to be proud of myself. My son is my biggest motivation and I want to show him that achieving goals are possible if you put your heart into it. I don’t know where it will take me career wise since I have so many ideas, but I know I will feel fullfilled when i’m done. I will keep y’all posted during the process and maybe go into depth about Balancing it all as a working Mother.
