1. Earlier this year I was off course in my work life because I took offense to a lot of things and took everything too seriously. I was making choices that was all about myself, or rather thinking about only myself, in these work situations and not about other people around me. I started going to church and giving my life to God, and that's what helped me get back on course. It was definitely difficult making changes in my daily life to calm down and just acknowledge that I need to put everyone else before myself. I was able to stick with going to church with my good friends and being in that positive environment gave me weekly reminders about what is most important in life. As a result of this change, I became a lot happier of a person and even though I did go through struggles during that season of my life, the most important thing is that I found what I actually wanted from life. If I hadn't made this change, I definitely feel like I might be depressed today.

2. Today, I am off course in learning web design, which is what I want to do as a career. I finally left that job I was at and realized it wasn't as important to me as I thought it was. It was a fun place to work but it largely hindered what I actually wanted to do. After getting to know God I realized that money isn't as important as I think it to be and I need to just slow down and look at my priorities. I wanted to work as much as I could just to get the number in my bank account higher. After realizing that wasn't what was making me happy, I knew I had to leave my job and now I am going to work on myself and teach myself skills that'll get me the job that I would love to have in the future.
