School

So I decided that working for Wal-Mart was not making me happy. I was depressed all the time and hated my life. I was struggling with being happy. Cory and I sat down to deicide other things I could do to be happy. We both decided that my quitting Wal-Mart was the best thing for me. So I quit and he said, “Okay, time to decide what you are going to do now.” So I thought and pondered that thought for about a day. They I said, “You know what I don’t want to work in retell for the react of my life.” And I did something about it. I looked up schools and sent in information letting them know that I was interested in going to school with them to studied Massage Thereby. The first school to call me was Eagle Gate Collage. The lady and I talked for about 45 minutes and she was so enthusiastic and nice. She asked me questions and answered mine as well. The next school to call me was Utah College of Massage Therapy. This man did not seem enthusiastic at all and he seemed like he was just trying to dog on the other school that I was interested in. So I went with Eagle Gate. I went and took a tour, Talked about finances and grants. We wanted to see if we qualified for on at all. Sure enough we do qualify. So I took the test to see if I could get in. You have to get a 130 to get in to the program. I got a 123…7 Questions under. So we scheduled me to come in the next day to take it again. Everyone thought I would pass but I didn’t think I would. So I went home and brushed up on math. Yesterday I went back to the school and took the test. I got a 134…..YaY, I passes I get to go to school. I start September 29th and I am way excited about it. I cannot wait to get my career and to make good money for myself and for my family. I know for sure that me going to school and doing what I want in the end is going to make me a lot happier. This is going to help me feel better about myself and I couldn’t ask for more.

That's awesome! I'm glad you were able to figure out what you want and go for it!! It's not always easy, but when it's important enough, it's worth it. I wish I could go back to school soon. I know you'll do great! Good luck!
