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

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. 

Page 4: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

In short, I've seldom worked a job that I really enjoyed. 

Page 5: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

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.

  Finally, I realized I was passionate about writing.

Page 8: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

Nothing is quite so satisfying as finishing an article or a scene and thinking,

"Yeah.  That's good."   

Page 9: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

Yay!

Page 10: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

I finally figured out what I wanted to do with my life!

I wanted to write! 

Page 11: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

About the time I realized this, I turned to my new husband and said, "I'm pregnant."

Page 12: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

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

It's difficult to concentrate on two passions at once. 

Page 14: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

The precious new human life I'd help create took precedence over creating new fictional lives. 

Page 15: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

Oh, I still wrote; I even published some articles on parenting.

Page 16: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

Unfortunately, the landlord, utility companies, and grocery stores dictated the necessity for me to work full-time. 

Page 17: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

Between 40 hours of doing yet another job I didn't like and caring for a growing family, writing just fell by the wayside.

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

That doesn't mean I have to stay on the same, boring path of jobs I hate to go to.

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

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

I raised some wise children.  

Page 23: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

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

I enrolled in Full Sail University in the online Media Communications Bachelor's of Science program in August. 

Page 25: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

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

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

I plan to spend it as a Media Communications professional.

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