So I decided that I'm going to change my major to.... (Drum Roll....)
School Health Education with a Minor in Environmental Science.
And I can take three more classes and be endorsed to teach Integrated Biology as well.
So there you go, this is what I am working toward now. With the minor almost completed and the major the only thing to focus on... I'm on my way to a teaching degree that I'm sure to enjoy. It encompasses mentoring, counseling, teaching about ecosystems and biomes, addictive substances, violence prevention, everything that I LOVE! And it can still get me on the road to being a Superintendent. I highly doubt I will do that, but I know that teaching is an amazing profession. Jesus Christ himself was a teacher. The Master Teacher. He still teaches us every day.
I just felt like the coursework in the Biology Education major was a little bit too boring for me. I don't enjoy genetics. I don't like the chemistry stuff.. even though I'm good at it, my mind inclines more toward hands on things instead of mind grasping concepts.. but most of the Biology classes I've taken already transfer to my minor. But let me tell you life is good. I woke up happy this morning, I was happy all day, I slept happy. The Spirit makes you happy and I know the decision I made is something that I want to do and no one else influenced me. It just feels like the right road to take.
Me and my roommate and a friend went to the Church Distribution center and I got a picture of our Temple back home in Birmingham. I miss home. And today when my advisor asked me if I was going to go back to Alabama to teach, I just responded, I don't know. I don't know if I would come to Utah and then just wander back to Alabama. I feel like I'm supposed to stay here and I have something to accomplish. The Lord is GOOD. I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ it makes me feel alive and motivated.
Today we are going to the Manti Temple for a Ward Temple Trip at 4:00 PM. I'm excited and I get to take my family names!
