I'm Going To Be A Personal Trainer!

   Yes, I'm studying to become a certified personal trainer! I am studying through Penn Foster Career School, it's an online school. They send me my study guides in the mail and I take the exams online. The literature is available online as well.


   I feel that this is the perfect field for me to get into for a variety of reasons. One, I am a health and fitness fanatic. I exercise daily, doing various cardiorespiratory routines. I also eat very healthy and try to take good care of my body. Two, I have always struggled with an eating disorder of some kind since I was about 12 years old. Being in shape and lean is very important to me. I feel that studying how to diet and exercise the right way will keep me informed and I'll be able to separate the truths from the fallacies. Thirdly, I happen to be cursed with two drug felonies on my record, making me pretty much unhireable. So this is definitely a field which I can go into business for myself, set my own hours, work out of my home perhaps.


   I also want to do something with my life, not just live a meaningless existence. I want to excel in something and make my family, my friends, and most of all -myself proud. Now yes, I am a mother and that is one of the most wonderful and rewarding jobs I could ever have. But when my son grows up, I also want him to go to college or some type of trade/online school. So I must lead by example and show him that it can be done.


   So, I am very happy that I have decided to further my education. I have a 93% average right now, so that's pretty darn good. I've just got to keep up the good work and keep pressing forward.
