After many hours of thinking and a job interview, I'm finally ready to take on a job position that requires patience, a kind heart, and responsibilities. I am pursuing a career in Direct Support Professional. I will be required to directly support (I know, the job title says it all) adults with developmental disabilities and/or physical disabilities. I will help with bathing, toileting, cooking, cleaning, and I will also just be their friend and hang out with them.
I'm so excited to start a new chapter and start a career where I can make a difference and help people. I've always wanted to have a job where I can help someone and be in a new situation every time I go into work.
My new outlook on life has made me want to push myself and put myself in new situations and let myself experience new things. I find myself wanting to allow myself to make mistakes and let myself go outside of my comfort zone. I want to experience new things and figure out what my limits are. Before, I let my anxieties and depressive thoughts hold me down and drown out every single chance I had to experience something new. Now, I want to push myself even harder to do new things and talk to new people and be someone that everyone is drawn to. I want to be a whole new person and someone that my son looks at and says "that is my mom and I'm so proud of her." I want my parents to see me and be so proud of me that they can't handle how proud they are. I want my husband to see me as an independent woman that can work her butt off, clean the house, cook, and raise our son all at the same time.
All in all, I want to be the person that I could only have dreamed of being before. I'm thankful for the opportunity that I've been given and for the new outlook on life that I have. I have a second chance at life and I'm so glad that it happened now instead of never.
