GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

This class helped me know that I have options and I'm not just stuck to one. My 20s are for exploration and working towards becoming better. I've also narrowed down options of hobbies vs career options that will allow me to provide for others and embrace God for the ability & skills he provides me and having comfort knowing he'll always be helping.

I started this class with a list of maybe 10 different career/college paths and with the help of our table discussions and exercises in class, I’ve narrowed it down to 2 or 3 main options.

Before taking Called, I felt like I had so many interests and nowhere to go with them. I found myself having new ideas of what I should do every month, then losing interest, and repeat. After taking Called, I have a much clearer direction to follow. I now know what I want to major in college and how to get there. It’s also comforting to know there’s a lot of wiggle room in the field that I want to be in.

I felt undecided and frankly a little lost in what I wanted to do and now I feel blessed to know what I want to do and how to help myself get there.

Before this class, I felt disorganized, lacking hope, and believing my potential really could go to waste. I did not come to a full on decision about my career path, but I know myself better and I am filled with hope. This class has taught me a lot about God's plans and provision. I feel like I can move forward with confidence, knowing that following God will lead me to my calling.

I felt discouraged on what to look for, what I would actually enjoy doing, and not have it be just for the paycheck. Now, I have ideas for pursuing jobs that align with the talents I have and can still make a living.

I felt completely paralyzed with the decisions and how to wrestle with feelings of what I should do or what I actually liked doing. I was in a very frustrated spot and unclear about what I actually enjoyed as a person. But now, I have a better idea of my talents & passions.
