Week 8: Life All in a Nutshell: Ljoiner

The last week is here and I can't believe how fast it has gone by. The last chapter in our textbook that I read this week really tied it all together. Throughout the text i was thinking of some choice in my life that I had made that eventually came up in the last chapter. Such as the lifespan development and how it pertains to my life. What field should I choose to go into as i get older? How can i advocate for my life, and making sure I am still progressing through life. The one idea that I kept going back to was what can I do to make my life successful and be happy about doing the job that I choose. These questions we all answered in the last chapter. I feel that the path that I am presently going down is a path that I will enjoy for many years. As I have been coaching for many years, I understand that I want to continue even though it may be tough at times. In the long run it will pay off. I see the small victories that I teach my athletes and I hope I can continue down that correct path. As for my profession, I have enjoyed my time as a part time worker but its not cutting out the financials that I can live on for much longer. I am a firm believer in you put in the work you get compensated for it. Now I put in a lot of work into some small tasks that people ask me why I work so hard. I answer them with in the long run it will turn out to be good. Not that I am expecting favors or hand outs but I may get some help down the road because of a good job I did when I was younger. But the future is a long way aways and I intend to life my life to the fullest, advocate for others, and live a happy life with the choices I have made. I wish everyone the same.
