So I'm just going to "blurt" it out and then I'll explain...
I'm dropping out of school.
Yep. Now to explain: I've been in college for four years now and never really found anything that I was so passionate about that I was willing to go through lots of all nighters studying and lots of debt. I've realized that college/ school is not for everybody and I don't think its for me. I do have a goals and I do have a plan, and college is not needed. My "little kid" dream is to open up my own bakery some day. When I made the decision that I was no longer going to be going to school, I started to plan what my next step would be. To open up a bakery, you need money. To do almost anything, you need money, am I right? So I made a plan to save money, and a reasonable goal for me to save a certain amount a money a year to be able to open my own bakery in less than ten years. But to do that I needed a job. And I didn't just want to work anywhere. If I was going to be working, I wanted to be learning and gaining experience in what I wanted to do. So I started to look for hiring baker positions in my area. But with my zero experience working as a baker professionally, I didn't think I had a shot.
By the grace of God, He provided me with a job where not only I will be getting paid, but also be learning everything that I would learn if I were to go to pastry school. You could say that I'm practically getting paid to learn. I feel so blessed to have been given this opportunity. I'm not going to lie; it has been hard. Feeling like the underdog isn't the best feeling, and sometimes I feel like I should be or am going to be fired because I'm under qualified. But it's been a little over a month since I've started, and I haven't been fired just yet.
Anyways, I just wanted to give a little update on my life. I'm excited to finally start the path to my "little kid" dream and I feel like this is just a stepping stone to what my future may be hold. Thank you guys for reading and I would appreciate a little prayer for me if you get the chance. Love you all! 💛
