One of my favorite movie lines is “Woah, dream big!” by
Ellen Page in Juno. Okay, so she said it sarcastically, but it is a great line.
I am all for dreaming big and going after that dream. My big dream if life is
to be a criminal profiler for the FBI specializing in serial killers. Crazy, I
know, but it is what truly fascinates me. But here is my big reality check. I
am a mother of three daughters 12 and under, I’m 32 and just now half way
through school because of said kids, and my husband is gone 90% of the time for
work. Is this dream every going to happen? Chances are not.
However, I do know something else that I am good at.
Numbers. They make sense to me. So, my dream changes a little. My husband loves
to cook and wants to open a catering business when he retires from his life in the
technology world. My dream is now to help support his dream. Insert a business
degree and future accounting degree from Northwestern University or U of
Chicago and boom, we’re in business. I dream of having those diplomas on my
wall. Am I in a rush to use them? No. But they sure will look pretty up there
on the wall. Oh, and I plan on graduating with Summa Cum Laude, after an
annoying A- in a class, I really wanted Magna Cum Laude, but things change.
