Do you constantly wonder about what to do with your life? Well, so do I.  Anyone who knows me well can tell you that I am like 10 paths that diverge in a yellow wood to modify the famous Robert Frost poem. However, as I get older time becomes more precious so I realize I have to choose a path. No one can tell you what path to choose but I believe if you are to be happy then one must enjoy the journey down that path, if not then you are probably on the wrong path. So far I have been fortunate enough to enjoy my walk through the woods, however when it is time to choose another path it will be one that I enjoy and I am passionate about in the present.
