I have been struggling with a very hard decision- whether or not to transfer schools. My ultimate goal is to become a occupational therapist while continuing to make music. Coming to this decision has been a decade in the making. I've seen many a major come and go in the meantime. My problem was that I have too many interests and a large pool of talent to draw from. I don't say this in arrogance but rather as an epiphany after years of struggling to focus on one career (or Two) and staying on path.
With each new experience in my life, i wanted to try or be somehting else because i knew i could. But now i know what I want and will be. problem is now, overcoming the stigma of beign wihsy washy, indecisive, and a flip-flopper. I ahve been thinking about my personal statement for graduate school and am rather satidfied wtih the answers i have contemplated to potential interview questions.
To meet this goal in a timely manner (as I have already wasted enough), i need to transfer back to my third school. they are welcoming me with open arms but it was a struggle to decide to do this as this will be yest another question in my professional school process. but i am ready to face to judge adn jury who will decide my fate-in or out.
Wish me luck and take heart if you find yourself in the same situation. My advice would be that I do not regret having taking this time to explore. I believe it will make me much more well rounded than someone else in the field who has only been on one track their whole lives. i also believe it will allow me to have a long standing committment to my field as i will have tried other things. Do what ultimately will satisfy you in life (in accordance with the will of God). Everyone will see your passion and if not, oh well. You have to live wtih you. They don't.
