Oh my Gawd, Joe, why couldn't you have given this lecture at the beginning of the semester? Ever since 2000 when I started going to Sierra I've been nothing but confused and lost as to what I want to do with my life. I've never had a helpful counseling experience, and no other methods of figuring out what I'd like to do have panned out. Your speech gave me so much encouragement. I haven't had a chance to check out the sites you gave us, or the handouts, what with finals and all, but there's nowhere else I can really turn to. I've always been indecisive. I've loved every class I've ever attended, and have been good at every job I've ever applied myself to. But being versatile has hurt me in that I don't know what I really want to do. I like everything, but haven't found anything I truly love. Some of the suggestions you gave out in class got me thinking.
In particular was your speech about getting into a career that you're happy with. I mean, something that benefits society rather than just yourself. Being able to live and finish each day knowing that you've done good for the world and have something to show for yourself. Something ethical, something that benefits mankind, something that has a future. Whether its a green collar job, helping out with education, or working for the Peace Corps, something you can be proud to tell your friends and family.
Mind you finals are a bit stressful for this week, so I still doubt I could concentrate much on doing a self survey to find my true purpose right now, but just five more days and I'll be all over it.
Thank you Joe Medeiros!
