Little Fish in a Big Pond
When I hear these words, I honestly can’t help but smile. I feel that all of us at one point in our lives have felt this way; like a little fish in a big pond. Am I right? Whether it is starting a new job, going to a new school, meeting someone new for the first time; we inevitably feel this way. To some, this feeling may come with ease. Yet to me, it is a rather unsettling feeling. For the last ten years, I have worked in a field that requires little to do with writing and more to do with rules, routines, employee interaction, and timelines. That field is Human Resources. If any of you have ever worked in this field, you just know.
Late to the Game..or Am I?
At 35 years old, I consider myself to be a little “late to the game.” While most people my age were finishing college and starting their careers in their early to mid-twenties, I was changing diapers (lots of them) and contemplating going back to school. Why? Well, I felt something was missing. I am a creature of habit and one that loves learning, reading, sticking to routines, and succeeding. While I loved being a mother and have enjoyed raising a family for the past fifteen years, I wanted something more. I wanted the American dream. To do this, I had to work. And work HARD. To do this, I had to go back to school. So I did.
