Career Day for Savannah

It was career day at the middle school for Savannah. She got into the car after school thrilled with the events of her day mainly because it consisted of her usual school work being replaced with speakers talking about their careers.  Her eyes had been opened up to the many opportunities that lie ahead for her and that she would actually be very good at some of them! The decisions she had made for her future career path were as follows.

1. Olympic Water Polo Player
She decided this would be her number one choice because she could see herself doing this every day of her life and she loves to play. Her concerns were that of  how do water polo players make money? What do you do after water polo? This of course led to a great conversation!
2. Trial Lawyer
Savannah openly admitted that she was very good at talking and she would be very good at winning cases as a Lawyer.
3. Singer & Song Writer
This is what Savannah truly loves to do every minute of the day. She has finally started writing down the lyrics to all these great songs she sings off the top of her head and forgets. Apparently, one of the parents that shared at career day was a lawyer by day and musician by night. He made the decision that being a musician wasn't the best way to support a family so he finished Law School and has kept playing music on the side. This made perfect sense to Savannah because she truly does love music but hasn't been able to figure out how it all fits in the the big picture of her life.

There's nothing quite like having your eyes opened to something and for the puzzle pieces of confusion to fall into place at the same time! Savannah seems to think her puzzle in complete, kind of like when she announced in Kindergarten she wanted to be a Costco worker when she grew up (thank goodness our eyes are opened at many different levels).  I think the most important vision to keep is the belief that we can do anything... Savannah can and will!
