WK4 Free Choice - Where do I go from here?


I’m at the crossroads and where do I go from here? I had to ask myself again why I chose Full Sail University, why this was the school I wanted to get my masters from, and why I even wanted a Masters in Education Media Design and Technology in the first place. I wanted to make a life changing decision, one that could offer up many possibilities. I was unhappy with teaching. I was unhappy in a stagnant job that I thought would not lead me anywhere I wanted to be. When looking at my school emails about getting an online masters at Full Sail, it seemed to be my answer.

Well not only have I met some pretty incredible people, but my mindset has completely changed from the day I opened the box with a brand new MacBook Pro. The Zanders’ book, The Art of Possibility, could not have been more perfect for this month. The growth I have gained from Full Sail is immeasurable and I am no longer succumbing to that thread of teachers who hate their jobs. What I was looking for in Full Sail actually changed. I went in thinking this would just lead me to a better job opportunity. I know it will definitely do that granted I look into it. But more importantly, where I go from here is not complete without having an understanding that my life is full of happiness and opportunity even if it happened to be in the place I am right now.

    I felt the same way Ashley, the Full Sail experience has been incredible. It has been not only intense but it has been life changing for me. And of course I enjoy my MacBook Pro. This is my 2nd Masters but my 1st one doesn't compare to what I've gotten from this journey. I loved the book The Art of Possibility and it is a great book for this month. It reminds us to be content, no matter what state we're in. It's ok!
