G42-What I Want to Be

When growing up I always dreamed of being a dancer. Singing wasn’t going to work cause well I sucked. I still love to sing but I do it for the kids. They don’t care what I sound like. But dancing was my life. I took various lessons all throughout childhood. I took jazz, ballet, cheer. Anything that would fill my world with music and movement.

Then puberty hit and that dream was dashed. My underlying medical issues made it impossible to maintain a weight that a dancer would need. I still dance from time to time, usually when its just me and the kids. We do music time at least twice a week.

So my dreams slowly moved to teaching. I wanted to impart wisdom on the youth of tomorrow. (WHAT was I thinking?) I insisted that I would have nothing to do with medicine or any type of field that would bring me in contact with the health industry. I had been raised in a household where both parents worked at a hospital and their second job was billing for a radiologist. While I loved the people my parents worked with I wanted to do something different.

Many years later and now I have a wonderful job. One I actually love. but is a far cry from dancing and just as far from teaching. I had a horrible experience at college when I went to get my teaching degree. I left after one semester and came home to the community college. All that time and money wasted because I’m now working in …

Yep you guessed it. The healthcare industry. I actually love my job and currently studying to be able to do more of it. I am working hard as a medical transcriptionist for a national company. My primary account is for a level I trauma center. I hear all about the medical issues of the people in a certain city. And I wouldn’t change it for anything.

Okay well maybe to be a dancer for one day.
