Transferable Passion

I have recently come to the realization that there are certain phases of passion in your life. When your very young, you are passionate about learning and growing. Then comes friends, boys, family, sports, etc. At each moment of time in your life, there is something that you should probably be focusing on. During your junior and senior year of high school you should stop focusing so much of your time on boys and friends and start focusing on college and taking steps to get there. As I continue through life, I am sure I will transfer my passion multiple times from my career to marriage to babies to 401Ks. 

When getting to college, I became really passionate about my involvements, i.e. my sorority. During these past 3 years, I have been so passionate about this that I didn't even realize that I may have been missing opportunities in my career and social life, two things that will benefit me, even after college. After a recent disappointing moment, okay I was devastated, I had the biggest epiphany - that I was no longer supposed to be so passionate about my organization but rather on searching for an internship and securing a career.

So I realized that I was actually never really devastated about that moment, but I was more afraid of what was to come. Since I did not know what college could be without being so consumed by my sorority, I was afraid about what I would do without taking the lead there. I turned my disappointment into proactivity and have found that by taking a back seat in my sorority, I have much more exciting things to looks forward to.

Disclaimer: Being a part of my sorority and holding multiple positions has impacted my life in indescribable ways. I feel that I am a much better version of myself and my involvement there has actually prompted my epiphany. I could never thank my sorority enough.
