Moving On and Forward.

I just closed and deleted my photography business and I don't feel that bad about it either.

 I have always enjoyed photography and taking pictures. In fact I have been running a photography business for the last six years. But as far as the business aspect is concerned, I'm done. I've experienced way too much heartache, and I've spent more money rather than gain. The area we are in people don't realize there is a price to everything. I charge an ex. amount on the sessions fee because I have to pay for my domain and hosting, extra memory, I have dues to pay to use some locations, printing lab fee, marketing and so on. Not to mention my hourly rate is less than minimum wage. I sat down and calculated it all out and by the time everything is said and done I make about $3.15 an hour which is a bit depressing!

I will always love photography and will continue to take pictures of my children. But I think it's time for me to really move on and move forward. Despite that I do admire it, it's not where my heart is anymore. There have been many nights I have asked God to show me where I need to be and what I need to do. I had researched for days until He saw fit to show me where I needed to be... 

I have been going to school at one of the local community colleges working on obtaining my degree in Nursing. If everything goes as planned I should be graduated or getting ready to graduate by 2015  with my associate's degree. With that I'm able to start practicing in private doctor's office and on top of that continue my education in the nursing field. Completing my masters and earn my full NPA degree. I could open my own practice if I wish or work in a commercial doctor's office. 

I'm extremely nervous too, well ...  because I've always just been a art kid. I suck at math, English, science I'm OK with but it's definitely not one of my strongest subjects. But I excel at art, drawing painting, graphic design you name it I can do it with the drop of a hat. School has been so hard for me this time though and I'm really struggling with some subjects. I've had a lot of help from Jeffrey but at the same time we've even butted heads. Apparently, I'm difficult to teach but at least I'm getting there slowly, thankfully.
