I am also a little intimidated to leave college. I do not know for sure what I
want to do with my life, so it is a little scary. I do not think that post-college
life will be either better or worse than life after college, but just different. I love
the community of college, but it will be nice to graduate as well.
I do not have a definite vision for my vocation after college. I honestly have
no idea what I will do. In general, I am a person who likes to have a plan, so
my lack of a plan for my vocation is scary. I obviously enjoy math, so I have
considered vocations that relate to math. In addition, I have considered more
artistic vocations, such as being a graphic designer. Thirdly, I am passionate
about the fight to end modern day slavery, so I would find great fulfillment
working for a non-profit organization. Lastly, I used to work in a nursing home,
and I love working with the older population. I have considered a vocation
interacting with geriatric patients, such as the use of art therapy for recovery.
Other than doing my best in my classes, I am taking steps in order to help
define my future vocation. Since I do not have a clear vision of what my vocation
will be, my steps may look different than those of other students. I am currently
exploring different disciplines to try to narrow my options. In addition, I have
been attending Canvas events provided by the CVC in order to help me better
define my future vocation. At the moment, I am working on finding a time
when I can meet with my CVC career coach, which can hopefully provide some
clarity. In sum, the idea of my future vocation is both exciting and a little scary.
