I love creating and interpreting art.
I love performing (except when I get performance anxiety... which is too often).
I love the faculty and staff in the music department.
I love teaching. Being a teacher is, in my humble award-winning opinion, one of the most noble professions.
I love the students that I have the pleasure of teaching. Such nice kids.
I love the way music makes me feel.
I love the way my music makes others feel.
For the past few weeks, I have been thinking about life.
My goals.
My plans.
Short term.
Long term.
Where I want to be.
What I want to do.
What type of impact I want to make.
So I thought about the attributes I have.
What I am I good at?
What makes me happy?
What can I see me doing?
As soon as I started at SUU, I applied and got accepted into the music education program. I have made so many great friends and memories. The faculty and staff really care. And they even decorate the music building for Christmas. I love it!
But sometimes good things end.
As I thought about my major and my career path, something didn't feel right. I felt doubt and uncertainty.
So I did what any Christian would do: I prayed. I did some research. I sought guidance and counsel from God about my uneasy feelings.
The heavens did not open and tell me what to do. In fact, I became more restless about where I was going in life.

A couple weeks later I made a decision: I am changing my major. To Hotel, Resort, & Hospitality Management.
Upon making that decision, I felt so good! Those uneasy feelings of doubt and uncertainty went away and I'm at peace.
Here's a good talk to read on the subject: http://magazine.byu.edu/?act=view&a=2536e
So. Life changing news.

Hey! That means we can take business classes together. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Good for you! {And now you need to change your profile text... ;) }
ReplyDeleteI will say this... music will always be there for you! Look at me! I'm a Biology/Chemistry gal who wanted to be a dentist, but I am now a piano teacher to 9 fabulous kids who make music come to life in my home! {And until last week I had the PRIVILEGE of being the Primary Chorister! Loved it!} So... even in hotels, you will still find a piano or two that you can sit and play on once in a while, right!!?!! And THAT would make you fabulous at the "hospitality" part of it all!
