did I make the right decision?

How do you know if you've made the right decision about anything? I guess you don't really have a concrete way of knowing if you have or not about certain events.

If you would have asked me at this time last year where I thought I would be in a year, I would have said the following: Living and attending classes at a small, private liberal arts school in Boston studying Professional Communication. This was what I wanted, or so I thought. If you had asked me last June where I saw myself in a year, I would have said this: Living and working in Washington D.C. at a public relations firm, commuting in on the metro everyday, thriving in the hustle and bustle that is D.C.

Isn't it funny how time changes everything? Now, here I am in South Carolina, one place I thought I would never be. I never wanted to go south, going north was my dream. For a while, going to school in Arkansas was my plan (where that came from I have no idea), but the fact is: we change. We make decisions/have events happen in our lives that lead us to unexpected places.

I thought about this as I was sitting and reading one of my books for healthcare accounting, wondering if I made the right decision to choose this program, to choose this path to go down, to choose this place I am in right now. I am not unhappy by any means, I am just completely unsure. I can't hold an educated conversation about healthcare; one a scale of 1-10 I have a 1.5 knowledge about Excel spreadsheets; I have never taken an economics class. These are all things that are present in my life at the moment: foreign concepts.

I chose to be here. Fate led me here. To be honest, my grandfather led me here, so in knowing that, I know peace. I know I'm here for the right reasons, but it's a learning process. It's life. That's what it's all about. Just taking life day by day and discovering where you're meant to be, and where you're meant to go.
