Going Back

I went back to the writing group and had a lovely time. However, I was armed with new insight, provided by a three year New England implant: people in the Yale community are all goal orientated. Additionally, to meet these goals many sacrifices have been made along the way, making them sacred.
It is a frighting to me, to be goal drone. (I hope it is a little bit contagious.) I am experience driven in contrast to goal driven. And I thought I just had an East coast, West coast cultural conflict, now it is my behavioral orientation, sheesh.
I was not even goal orientated when I went to college, I found easy schools to enroll in and then I enjoyed doing the work. I went to Advertising Art school- then I worked in crisis shelter. I became a certified teacher-I went to work in behavioral health.
I am planning on taking a few needed courses in January at the community college so I can enroll and get my MSW next year. Then maybe I will become an accountant. :)
