So, it has been a little while since I have written here. I decided to serve an 18-month mission for the LDS church in 2009 and returned in 2010. It was amazing experience, where I had the blessing and opportunity to serve and teach the people of Argentina. I was able to grow not only spiritually, but I was also able to grow to love service on a whole different level. I was able to discover different ways that people need to be taken care of, to be served.
It was also on my mission that I discovered what I should be doing with my career choice, with my life. I graduated with a degree in Business Management before I had left on my mission. I knew I wanted to be a manager, to be in charge of something. I just didn’t know what. While on a mission, you don’t have a paid job, you are there to dedicate your life to not only the Lord, but to helping others in their personal struggles physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It was during that time that I had decided what I wanted to do.
I have always enjoyed helping others and making sure that they are taken care of. It took some pondering and some time to understand the promptings that I was receiving, but finally (!) I figured out what I wanted to do, I am going to work in healthcare! I have always had a place in my heart for that. I am not necessarily cut out for the nurse/doctor side of things, but I do have a knack for administrative things. So, my plan is to be in healthcare administration. It will take some time to get to where I want to be career-wise, but I know it will be worth it! I currently work in a pediatrics clinic and I love it!
So, to make a long story short, I have found a way to combine my love of service with my career so that I can really enjoy what I do day in and day out. So, with this new discovery and continual love for service, I wanted to start up this blog again. So, I will be writing about service experiences, small and big, that I learned from my mission, from work, and of course from everyday life. So, here’s to a new year full of learning experiences!
