Wait....What?

The title of this blog is dedicated to my little brother. He's 15 and his favorite thing to say is "wait...what?" Sometimes just to annoy his family members...rarely does he say these words because he actually didn't hear the person talking. He's great!
Anyways, the reason for this title: For the first time since going back to school I second guessed the decision. Not just questioned the decision, which I have done before, I seriously thought maybe I should drop out. This came about I believe on Tuesday of this past week. I was not happy with this feeling of un-surety. The reason for this: One of the athletic trainers, who works for UWM, had a birthday. We sang to her, she smiled, then I found out; she had just turned 23. That was the moment I thought "Wait....what?" I turned 24 in December, and now I will be working under and taking some hard criticism from someone a year younger than me. For the rest of my rotation in the athletic training room, roughly 4 hours, all I could think about was how I should have transferred from Northwestern and gone to an accredited school, then that would be me.
But I didn't. And reflecting on this week, and my decisions that have led me here, I'm glad. Despite that after spring break I will be working very closely with this woman I'm ok with it. I'm learning to trust in God during this, let go of my pride, be humble, be the "newbie" and learn/absorb whatever I can. I am the student, and this was my choice. And I think it was the right one.
During my time at Northwestern I met some great people, I had my first mentor and will cherish her forever, I developed a friendship that will last my whole life, I led a hall of women and learned how to be a leader, and I was pushed to pursue and take on the role as an intern with the United States Olympic Committee. Which brings me here. So many things would not have happened if I had transferred from Northwestern College.
Ultimately I wouldn't be volunteering for the Olympics. God has been faithful, despite the many times I have fallen and disappointed Him. So this position that I am in is a learning experience and will be something I look back on and cherish.....Hopefully
