Written March 2011
My family is first and foremost me, so ten years from now I want my family to be complete, healthy, and financially stable. Being a relatively new mom now, I really struggled with returning to work this past September when my maternity leave was over. I am still struggling to try and juggle full time employment and full time mom, wife, cook, housekeeper, etc., but somehow I am figuring things out. I am hoping to find a semi-perfect balance between work life and home life. I want my children to have strong values and that they will have a great deal of integrity and respect for others. I want them to look up to me and truly believe I have done my very best to provide for them in all ways.

Ten years from now, I would like to NOT be viewed as a push over. I want to be able to be more upfront and say what I need to say when I need to say it, instead of always worrying about making others happy and letting them hear what they want to here. I want to be remembered as an individual who went out of her way for others, but not at the expense of herself. I want to be held accountable for my actions and really make a difference in my work place.
In 2021, I sure hope I am not doing what I am doing now in terms of my career. I would like to have completed my degree (and perhaps another) and be moved into a job where I am truly making a difference and helping others excel in their lives. What that looks like, I am not 100% sure. I am almost 30 years old and I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up! So hopefully I can start being more decisive and clear on my career goals as I inch closer to 40.
