I think I may have found a direction in my life! Well, education wise anyway. Which is what I was struggling with, so that's good. I think I'm going to try and get into BYU-Hawaii, and get an degree in secondary education. Or, go there for a year and transfer to BYU-Provo. I think I may like being a teacher. I could teach High school English, or creative writing, or journalism.
I've always struggled with choosing where I wanted to go with my education, mainly because I didn't know what career I'd ever want to go into. Recently, I realized why. My goal in life is to fall in love, get married in the temple, and raise children. The reason this is so hard, is the world looks down on motherhood these days. If I told people I wanted to be a stay at home mom the reaction would be negative. "You're just going to sit around at home while your husband does all the work?" Excuse me?!? Do you want to try and raise a family? You think it isn't hard work??
Not that I'm opposed to getting a career. When my children grow up I Am going to do Something to keep me busy while they're at school. Whether that's writing, teaching, or something else, well I have a while until I have to decide that. I Am going to get a good education. I love learning.
I hope I'll be a good Mother. I think I will, but it's still a scary thought that the home is the modeling ground for adults. I'll be responsible for helping my children succeed. Thankfully I'll always have the Lord to help me.

i love learning, too. you can just feel your brain expanding at any moment ready to burst from some sought after realization or the connection of some math problem.
i would love to be a mother, but i think it is great to have something to teach and fall back on.
You do know you're my hero, right?
