How my obsession with achieving my dreams led me to be a prison nurse
Would you work in prison if it meant one step closer to achieving your dreams?
I have always been one to chase every dream that might pop into my head, even if I do not follow through completely.
I start and stop many things; I quit because it turns out that I no longer want that dream. In this process of trial and error, I always find a new path or a new plan.
It evolves into something more. So this is why I dream big, and sometimes it requires a course correction.
So how did my dreaming big turn into me working in prison?
We had a career day in high school; I remember only one speaker he was from the FBI. At this point, I was obsessed with becoming an FBI agent and working undercover.
Maybe a detective or working in criminal psychology, but something involved studying criminals and how they think and why they do what they do. It has always fascinated me how the human brain works and why certain people choose a particular life or not.
Did they choose the life of crime, or did the life of crime choose them?
