I always seem to have a new plan, a new adventure. Nothing ever goes as planned. That’s what makes my life so entertaining. But one plan that I have always stuck to has been to be one of the first women in my family to graduate with a bachelor degree.
Since leaving my house summer of 2005 I have moved 15 times (not counting the 5 times I moved to different areas in my mission). I went from California to Idaho to Utah to Idaho to California to Idaho to California to Idaho to Utah to Virginia to Utah to Argentina to Virginia to Utah to now back to Idaho.
In the mean time I have either been working fulltime, going to school fulltime or part time of each. Not really sure of when or where I was going to finish school I just kept following my heart to certain places but I always knew that I wanted to finish school.
In the book “Leading with the Heart” Coach K talks about the importance of preparation and planning. “They have to plan and prepare for every phase, and then remain flexible when things don’t go exactly according to plan. Every long-term strategy must be adjustable and people on the team must be prepared accordingly.”
I have had to be flexible in my life, I have chosen certain roads that may not have been the best decision but I had to live with them. I never really fully lost my way, the long-term goal was always set and coming this December I will finally reach that goal and graduate!
