So many times in interviews they ask you, "where do you see yourself 5 years from now?". That question always stumped me. How is anyone suppose to know where they are going to be or what they are going to be doing in 5 years? I think life throws too many curve balls to predict the future. I know that everyone has an answer as to what they want to be doing, where they want to be working, how successful they are going to be and what their home life is going to be like in 5 years, but very rarely does it ever turn out the way we think.
For me, 5 years ago was the beginning of my senior year in college. I had no idea what the future held for me. If you would have told me that I would be where I am today then, I would have never believed you. Within the last 5 years, I have met and married my best friend, Ryan. I have lived in Nashville, TN, as an attempt to spread my wings and get a "dream" career. I have moved 6 times. I have gained and lost friendships. And my biggest suprise that I have had, is having our daughter, and I mean that in a good way. If you would have asked me when I was going to have kids, even 2 years ago when I got married, I would have told you at least 3-5 years from now, but God had His own plan in all of that. She is a huge blessing and it has been a very good suprise in our lives. I guess my point to all of this is just the realization of how unpredictable life is. I'm sure there are things in your lives that you would have never seen coming. Some we welcome with open arms and some we accept kicking and screaming. Life is funny that way, and through every bend in the road, can come something new. So I just have one question for you..."Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?".
