My Dream Career

     I know people say that when your young you have no idea what you want your future to be like. Well for me, I do. I’m going to make my dream career come true. One, I’m going to be a Music Therapist. Two, I’m going to live on a farm in North Carolina, right outside of Asheville. And three, I’m not going to be concerned with how much money I’m making.

     I’ve wanted to be a Music Therapist since I started middle school so I know that it’s the right job for me. I’m going to get a start by working where ever one is needed, wherever it may be. Once I have good experience and references, I want to be able to open my own private practice. I don’t want to just rent out a space. I’m going to build one so it will be perfect in every way for my clients. I know, this will take lots of money but I’m willing to wait and do whatever it takes to make this happen. 

     As for the location of my private practice, it’s going to be right outside Asheville, NC. I. Absolute. Love. This. Place. I know it’s the perfect place for me to live. I’ve always been a country girl, not really into the city, so that’s why I want to live outside of Asheville. I’ve always lived in houses where my neighbor is like ten feet away and hated it. Growing up, my grandparents owned a farm and I loved being there and helping them out. So me having a farm of my own is a dream come true.

     Money has always been an issue for my family. I never enjoyed having to give stuff up, selling our house, and moving in with my grandparents because we had no money. So in my future, I will do what ever it takes so that I’m not in that position. I know Music Therapy is my calling but if I have to have another job so I will be stable, I will get one. Struggling is something I will not worry about. 

     What I’m doing now to help my future come true is attending Converse College for Music Therapy. Getting the right education is the most important part of a future. I’ve been saving up money since elementary for college and I’m also working while in college to make it a bit easier to pay it off. I don’t want to be in debt my whole life. No, no, no. Some disadvantages for my future is wanting to me a Music Therapist. Since it’s still being introduced it will be hard to find somewhere to work and make a career out of it. Especially since I want to have my practice in a certain place, getting clients will be hard too. But the advantage of having a future career is the greatest above all. Being happy.
