My Calling and Purpose in Career
Growing up I had the desire to be someone of significant importance. I remember wanting to initially be an obstetrician/gynecologist, then shortly after I had my son I realized the desire was not there anymore. I believe at first I wanted to become an obstetrician because I was experiencing something life altering that completely had my attention, pregnancy was an experience I lived daily for 40 weeks. In 2007, when my son was 3 years old my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.
At that particular point in my life I had an overwhelming desire to nurture and become a care taker. At this time I was 20-years-old and believed it was my calling to become a nurse. Immediately, I began taking classes to become …show more content…
I enjoy coaching others through their difficult times; I love psychoanalyzing people and their problems. I enjoy delving to the bottom of every side of an equation and offering suggestions and perspectives. I enjoy helping other people think critically about themselves and their situations. This brought me fulfillment and made me feel empowered as a person. I then knew my calling in life needed to involve communication and helping people solve their inner-most issues.
I enjoy offering resources to other people and assisting them in not feeling so helpless about themselves. I enjoy helping others find their own inner source of strength and this is what I became passionate about. After psychoanalyzing myself and contemplating, I realized my true desire was to become a counselor.

As I think about the people who influenced me on my career path I can honestly say I have had no physical (human) influences. The people who were important to me on this career journey have only led me in directions to help me figure out who I truly was and who I was called to be. There has not been one person in my family or circle of friends who guided me into becoming a counselor. This is something I had to come to on my own through experience.
I believe God placed a calling and purpose on my heart when He breathed air into my body. My career and calling have always been accessible to me I had to only realize what He had already called me to do and most of all how I know this is my calling in life is because I am fulfilled physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally every time I go to work. I feel important, needed, validated, and called by God. God is also able to use me in every circumstance of leading and guiding. I love letting the Lord use me to help others. Jesus and God within have my influences on this career
