Having gone pretty much the past 5 years without talking to many of my high school buddies… it was GREAT to get together with 3 dear friends from the past. It all come about by chance, on the wonderful world of myspace. Kim announced that she had a job offer at DOW in Midland and was heading out the end of the week, then Amanda suggested that her, I, Kim and another friend Nikki all get together before she leaves. Low and behold we were all sitting at Applebee’s in Lapeer less than a week later (which was last night).
First we caught up on the happenings of our classmates we’d lost touch with, and then we updated each other on our lives… then got into what the future held. As Kim filled us in on her dream job at DOW a starting salary that’s worthy of drueling over and her master level education from the University of MI… she said something that really struck home for me. She said, someday I might want to be a teacher, but first I want to be known for something in the field. I can’t go into the classroom and expect the kids to want to listen to me if I haven’t done something incredible in the field they are learning about from me.
That comment made me realize that’s sooo true, and it really sat well with me. I want to do something memorable in the wealth management field, something influencial and helpful, something worth putting in books! Not all of us have that same desire… but it was an Aha! moment for me that I thought I’d share
