The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom

If you're like me you enjoy watching inspiring shows, so when I tuned in to the new series of "Secret Life of a Soccer Mom," it inspired me. After watching it, I pulled out my old dusty burgundy suitcase, and do you know what laid inside? Drafting supplies...Oh how I wished I could massage the cold metal of a drafting table again. It was my first urge, my first true desire, my first longing, in a long time. Ya know, to even think about going back to college after 5 years was extremely scary. I discussed my fears and goals with my husband, on why I wanted to go back to school. For me, it was totally understandable why he was a little reluctant, it was only because he knew my desire to not go back in the past, and he wanted to respect my wishes. He really wanted me to go for myself, and not for other naive reasons. After I explained this longing to him, we set out a "game plan." The next day I started requesting brochures and such from different schools for Architecture, and I came across the Interior Designer career path. Shoot, Interior Designer? Me? Haha I don't want to be a decorator, I want to make a difference, know what I mean? The research I did in the days to come enlightened me because an Interior Decorator and a Interior Designer are not the same at all. After visiting schools and researching more, I have never felt so sure of a career in my life, than this path that I wanted to embark on. It's definitely going to be a change for me and my family but we are ready, so BRING IT ON!
Until next time...
