Future Ambitions.

I have an announcement. 

I would say it's a pretty big piece of news,

for me at least.

Today, I chose a career path. 

Yep, that's right,

I picked a path. 

This is a big decision for me.

Being a language major, 

I pretty much have endless possibilities as far as careers go,

I could teach, 

I could work for the UN,

I could work overseas,

I could work for the government, 

I could work in fashion, 

television, 

movies,

sports,

publishing, 

business,

finance,

 etc, 

etc, 

etc.

The list could literally go on FOREVER. 

But today, as I was sitting in my car waiting for someone, 

I decided my future...career path. 

And that path is,

TENNIS. 

Yep, tennis. 

I decided on tennis because:

1. I can't imagine my life without it,

tennis has given me so much over the past 11 years, 

and it's something that I absolutely LOVE. 

2. I would hate to have a job,

 or be in a position, 

where tennis couldn't be a large part of my life. 

3. I am currently a tennis coach in Ruston. 

It's the best job I could have ever asked for. 

I absolutely love it.

So I can't imagine going from this job, 

where I set my own hours, 

pay, 

curriculum, 

etc. 

To a 9-5 where I am just another employee. 

I think that in this stage of my life, 

tennis is the path that will offer me the most, 

opportunity, fulfillment, and enjoyment.

I don't know exactly how I want to go about making tennis my career.

Do I want to coach?

Organize leagues, or tournaments?

Work for the USTA?

Work for the ATP?

I'm not sure yet, 

but I do know that the tennis world is where I'm heading. 

Granted, all of this is still subject to change, 

graduation is still 12 months away. 

But for now tennis is what I've chosen.

I've got a few ideas, job wise. 

But who really knows, right?
