Well, if you read my earlier blog you will know that I have
been struggling to find a path. Not necessarily MY path but just a path that I
can feel confident it is at least pointing me in the right direction. I have
some great news, I've found some promising tracks that I feel very confident
could lead me to a road. Sorry for all the travel analogies but I think they
serve my purpose very well in this situation.
After a rocky start getting back
into school, I feel like I’m starting to get my footing. The content in the
classes is interesting to learn about and after having it explained feel oddly
familiar. I can’t be sure if I will one day be a PR "big wig" but I'm
pretty sure I’ll be able to achieve some semblance of success.
The relief you
get after searching for so long to find your niche is unlike anything I have
experienced, it’s like a cloud has been lifted and I can begin to really focus
my life's work. The exciting world of PR in no way looks like a walk in the
park, but more like a run through a very demanding and rewarding obstacle
course. New challenges will arise and I will use my knowledge gained in the
last year to take on each individual issue
. So much work has happened in so
little time it is hard to take a step back and actually take measure of how
much we have learned but given a chance to look back and right on your own work
allows you the ability to reflect on all the hard work.
I've done a bit of post-secondary
learning and each time, thinking that I was going to get a job that was good
enough and that will pay well and it would be the responsible adult things to
do. It has never happened that way. This is the first time I think I will be
confident enough to say "This what I want to do and I think I’m pretty
good at it!"
