ASlaymaker and the Future
Whew, yet one more week has passed in this crazy summer. I love it, though. So, lately I have been thinking a lot about the future and what it holds for me. What graduate school program will I go to? What fellowships will I apply for? What do I want to be known for doing with my life? And all of these questions fuel my now. I am almost consumed with making sure the answers to these questions are the best possibilities. Thus, I really am living in the future to a certain extent. I have learned to appreciate the here and now…to enjoy the present while it happens. It seems life is more pleasant that way…however, with my personality, I have to plan things out. So, I have come to the realization I have to schedule planning periods throughout the week to map out my short term and long-term future. This program, or rather the experience it offers (the people I meet and places I go), has given me insight on answering the questions of the future that fill my mind. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this program and to be associated with AAPD and MEAF. I am thinking of ways to show my gratitude and give a little something back….to be continued. Stay tuned for Slaymaker Sayings next week!...
