I've realized a lot about myself. Here's a warning to you all...deep thoughts post comin' in hot...
I've realized that I don't know my full potential until I am pushed to do more. When I went to college, I knew that it was a good thing to get an education. I knew that it would be important. I knew it would help me in the long run. But little did I know how well I would do in the "corporate" world. I feel like I've been put on this path that I never really expected myself to be on. I never really expected myself to make something out of my education. Sure, I knew that I'd work somewhere for a few years or so, but never did I see anything long term. It's funny because Sarah and I were taking our so called morning walk in Bear Lake just the other week. She said "it's like people keep giving you these responsibilities that you don't want, but you end up taking it on and being so good at what you are given!". That was funny to me because she was totally right! I never thought I'd work in a big corporate office. I thought I'd go to college, get a good education, and grow up to be a mother. I've always wanted kids and figured I'd go to hair school to help support my family while my husband makes the big bucks... ;) right Cam? BUT I've realized, life doesn't always go as planned and things take you by surprise.
I recently got a promotion from my first position which I had started only about 10 months ago. My position now is the last step prior to sales if I decide to go in that direction. I also never thought I'd be a sales woman. Taking Professor Bone's sales class scared me so bad I just told myself I'd never do it. I would get nervous thinking of the final having to "sell" to my professor in a few weeks. But the more and more I think about where I'm at in life and where I can be, I just want it that much more. I realized that sales is an opportunity to work with people and I know that I'm good at that. I enjoy being with people and love making new friendships. It's just interesting to me to reflect back and think that I told myself I'd never do what I'm doing right now.
Cam keeps encouraging me to just go for it. He's my biggest supporter and a lot of the time I have a hard time because I just shut him down. He's just cute and I love him for that. But, I don't believe in myself and I know that needs to change. But I think that getting hired on by Instructure has given me experiences where I've learned I need to be strong and feel like I can be successful. I absolutely love where I'm at and just hope that I can continue to be successful not only for that sense of accomplishment, but to be able to support my family that I will have one day. One day, right?
That day will come :)
