For the first 30+ years of my working life, I worked jobs that left me unsatisfied at best and depressed at worst.
![Page 3: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The majority of the various positions I suffered through not only didn't let me realize my full potential, they never made use of it at all.

In short, I've seldom worked a job that I really enjoyed.
![Page 5: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Some positions were more interesting than others,
but none truly gave me that sense of accomplishment that I crave.

When I was younger, I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up.
![Page 7: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Finally, I realized I was passionate about writing.
![Page 8: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Nothing is quite so satisfying as finishing an article or a scene and thinking,
"Yeah. That's good."
![Page 9: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Yay!
![Page 10: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
I finally figured out what I wanted to do with my life!
I wanted to write!
![Page 11: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
About the time I realized this, I turned to my new husband and said, "I'm pregnant."
![Page 12: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Anyone that writes regularly may understand why, at the moment the real world insinuated itself upon my life, I stopped doing one of the most important things that made that life worth living.
![Page 13: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
It's difficult to concentrate on two passions at once.
![Page 14: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The precious new human life I'd help create took precedence over creating new fictional lives.
![Page 15: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Oh, I still wrote; I even published some articles on parenting.
![Page 16: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Unfortunately, the landlord, utility companies, and grocery stores dictated the necessity for me to work full-time.
![Page 17: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Between 40 hours of doing yet another job I didn't like and caring for a growing family, writing just fell by the wayside.
![Page 18: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
After my husband and I both got caught in the Great Downsizing of '09, I still need to work for a guaranteed paycheck.
![Page 19: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
That doesn't mean I have to stay on the same, boring path of jobs I hate to go to.
![Page 20: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
When I toured the Full Sail campus with my son, I said, "I wish I was younger because this is the school I would attend."
![Page 21: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
To which my son replied, "What's younger got to do with it? There's no reason you can’t do it now."
![Page 22: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
I raised some wise children.
![Page 23: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Now that my kids were no longer kids and well able to fend for themselves, it was time to finally stop pushing aside my dreams of having a fulfilling job.
![Page 24: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
I enrolled in Full Sail University in the online Media Communications Bachelor's of Science program in August.
![Page 25: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
It's a degree that combines writing with aspects I liked about some of my past jobs, something that I strongly feel will lead me to a great deal of job satisfaction.
![Page 26: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
I may be older, but I'm not past my working prime, yet; I still have a good 20 years of work left in me, I think.
![Page 27: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5881f7b91a28abb4748b5e0f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
I plan to spend it as a Media Communications professional.

This time, I want to have fun for a living.
