I have to say that this past semester has really given me a lot of hope for the future. I realize that that statement is both hokey and vague, so allow me to elaborate. When I originally got my Bachelors in English Education, I looked at my diploma with a bit of dread. After all of my hard work and even some sacrifice, I had the piece of paper that would allow me to get a job and stand before a classroom imparting knowledge. The only problem was that I now didn’t want to do any of that. The traditional classroom setting no longer appealed to me and I had no idea as to what I wanted to do now. So I just kept working at my day job at Barnes & Noble, watched the days and weeks go by, and put that diploma in a box in a storage unit.
