Many of my friends choose their careers based on the money and business skills they possess. I am skilled in art and design, but I didn't feel like that was what I wanted to do for my career. Your career shapes a huge part of your life. It's what you do every day, for most of your life. It's what I've been preparing for the last 12 years or so of my life. It's more than just money or skill. I wanted to do something unique, something interesting, something that inspired me to be a better human being, something that made me feel, something that was inspiring, something that helped others and, above all, something that was rewarding and made me feel fulfilled . After having an epiphany in my advisor's office, he sent me straight to the Lilly School of Philanthropy to meet Pamela Clark. As I walked through the school doors after meeting Mrs. Clark, it all made sense to me. Thank goodness I followed my inexplicable instinct, because it led me to “perfect”.”
