What the Future Holds...

As I think about the future and what excites me, three things come to mind: service, children, and Spanish. These are three passions in my life that, no matter what I’m doing, will be my motivation for whichever profession I choose. For the short term future plans, I want to do missionary work. My degrees in international studies and Spanish have greatly prepared me to spend time in another country with a different culture. My focus in international studies is communications and media with a regional concentration of Latin America. My love for Spanish has driven to study this area; also, a Latin American country is where I intend to serve one day. As for a long term sense, I would love to teach early childhood. Before becoming a teacher though, I intend to return school to accomplish my masters in the education field. Depending on my time spent in a Spanish speaking country, I may teach in an international school abroad. My other idea is to be a bilingual educator. My experience working at summer camps and babysitting has caused me realize how much I enjoy seeing a child learn and grow. Many options lay ahead of me. Choosing which path to take will be the challenge in the next couple of years.
