Back To School

Dear Meagan,

I know one of your major goals is to go back to school to get a post-high school degree :) It was only your freshman year at MSU when they found the tumor and you had all of your surgeries. Finishing another degree would be an amazing achievement for you... that being said it will also be a challenge... just like anything else in life that helps us grow and moves us forward.  There are SO many options for post-high school education.  You could do a four-year degree and end up like most college grads (working as a barista at Starbucks without any real job prospects lol- sad but true). Orrrr you could get specific on what you want to do and go to a trade school or do an associates degree.  It could be anything from the health industry (pharmacy or nurse assistant, dental assistant, medical billing, etc) to working with kids (early child care education) to office work (administrative/office assistant or paralegal) to creative work (hair dresser, graphic design).

My challenge to you: RIGHT NOW spend 20-30 minutes exploring your options, then spend 20-30 minutes every day this week continuing to explore your options...  writing down anything that sounds interesting. And if you'd prefer to enter the work force and get your experience that way... more power to you! Your options right now are endless, you just need to start exploring them :)

I'll call you at the end of next week so we can talk about it and see what you think! The key here is that you do the research and choose the school or job that you would like to attend :) Simple as that meine schwester! Ich liebe dich!

XOXO,

Brooke
