But I am a girl scout leader and I volunteer for the local middle school's boys basketball team.
I feel like I am doing things not in order. But maybe there is no order, maybe its all a part of being an individual.
I find myself in the position of being a role model.
And not just for the people who see me at every girl scout meeting or outing, or those that see me at every basketball game. Maybe I unintentionally impact someone that I talk to at just one game.
Maybe I am touching the lives of 19 girls and their families and not just the 2 that I am related to.
Perhaps people see me as a dedicated sister, because I have only missed 1 of my brothers' basketball games- and hes not a player.
I dont want to be the sister/aunt that they see at holidays and special occasions. I want to be the supportive aunt that they can turn to for anything, but also the adult that will step back and let them figure some things out for themselves.
And while it seems I have that part of my life figured out... I still dont have a job.
Really, I still dont know what I want to do with my life.
I have an accounting degree. I am working to get my CPA license- easier said than done.
But I miss my basketball life. Which makes me want to follow the sports management path again.
And people have always told me I would be a good teacher, and goodness, their schedule would be an awesome one to have- it would be good for traveling.
So maybe doing something that had a "season" so to speak. I mean accounting does have a season- but you generally are an accountant for the whole year.
I may be getting my first job break soon. My sister-in-law is trying to get some help at the middle school in the front office, and if I can get my foot in the door I could possibly work to become a substitute teacher- then I would see if teaching could be something for me.
Here's to finding one's way... because, by golly, I think I may be headed in the right direction... just in time for basketball season!! :)
