As I finish up my last final of the semester and realize that I don't have much schooling left, I feel that it is time to seriously start deciding what I desire as a career. This is and has been the number one question in my life for a while and I have decided it is time to tackle it!
I have many options after I graduate, these are just a few that I am considering right now:
Do the required internship (being that I get accepted) and become a Registered Dietitian
I could go onto Graduate School for things such as, health education, physical therapy, ect
I could find a job with the degree that I have in nutrition
I could go on and get a degree in clinical laboratory science
Or I could start my own business of combining nutrition and exercise
As you can see by the number of options, I have literally no idea what would best suit me, which is a bit of a problem in making this decision. I have asked many people in my life and they haven't been much help in this decision. As I recall my sister saying, "Really, I have no idea what you would be good at." I hope she was meaning that I would potentially be good at all of these options so she couldn't decide, not that I am horrible at everything and there is no hope for me. Some days I do feel that there is no hope in making this decision. But anyways, back to the point
Therefore I am writing this blog in hopes that the rest of my family and friends who know me can help in narrowing down my decision. What do you picture me (Alexa) doing?
I am honestly open to anything, I just hope someone else may have a different perspective than I have.
Here are a few of the things I enjoy greatly or my passions and hobbies:
1. Nutrition
2. Exercise and Fitness
3. Art
4. Education and surprisingly Public Speaking (about things I enjoy of course)
5. Cooking and baking (healthy things)
Well I probably should get back to studying! Since that is the basis of my career plans!
I look forward to hearing your perspective on this situation!

I just love looking at your blog, it's so much better than mine :) As far as your career decisions go I know you will be great at whatever you choose to do. Personally, I think you should go to med school. That way I could have free medical services for my future children and, of course, accident prone TJ. On a more serious note, choose something that you can picture yourself doing for a while. I think you would be great at running a fitness center and teaching classes. It can be risky starting a business but at least you will have Payton's income to fall back on. I would also like to see you reform school lunches so I can stop packing my own. If I have to eat another kernel of rock hard, neon yellow government corn I will scream and possibly do something much worse (just kidding... maybe). I know I haven't given you a definite answer but I pray everyday that God shows you where you can best serve Him. Love You!
"You are horrible at everything and there is no hope for you". LOL. I am just kidding Alexa. (I am going to get hit for this, aren't I?) Anyway, I am sure God has great plans for both of your lives and marriage. Don't worry and just be patient. He will show you what those plans are in His time. Just enjoy what God has blessed you with now and anxiously await future blessings!
Consider joining arms with me in my quest to change the shape of Eastern Iowa. Kettlebells, Spinning, ect...
