Rejected

Yeah... apparently the Dental Hygiene Department at UVU regrets to inform me that they did not select me. That is just a nice way of them saying, "Thank you for using all the money you have saved these past years to come to our school and take the hardest classes we offer, jumping through all our hoops, and putting most aspects of your social, family, and work life on hold for the past two years to get your A's. I'm sorry, but your best is not good enough, you can start over and do it all again though!"

See what I mean? (ok you can't really read it...but you get the idea)

I sound bitter, but I'm really not! I know that everything happens for a reason, and it is really for the best, but I am just slightly disappointed and slightly lost. Here is the thing, I have never really been completely dead set on Dental Hygiene. It just seemed like a good job, good hours, and good pay, so I thought I would give it a shot. It took a lot of work though! And a lot of time! So now what do I do?

MAJOR CHANGE

In more ways than one. I have been searching, pondering, and praying and I now have more options. Right now I am leaning towards Elementary Education. I have also considered Labor and Delivery Nurse, High School Math Teacher, or some sort of business degree. I have talked to everyone possible and listed all the pros and cons and salary and job issues each career entails. I could go into detail about all my thoughts on the matter, or even post pics of my lists but 1) I would bore you to death and 2) you would all laugh at me. I just like lists. I'm a visual person. Anyways, yes...Elementary Ed seems to be the best route (as of today). Everyone keeps sayin, "have you prayed about it Ali?" or "Heavenly Father knows what you need to do Ali, have you tried asking Him?" YES, I HAVE! The problem is, I feel He keeps telling me the same thing my dad does...He loves me and He will support me in anything I do. I feel like He is saying that I will do well in anything I put my heart to, I just have to make the choice. It is a decision that I need to make, but He will be there to help me along the way. So that's where I'm at. I am going to do a little more research and then I will get back with the final answer. I am ready for change though. A BIG change!
