How I did it: It Started With a Decision to Go Back to School...

I finally decided to narrow things down to a chemistry major, since it would leave me with a lot of options but I won't be doing chemistry...
I've been volunteering on the productions team at Mars Hill Church for over a year at the time when I was asked to lead one of the teams. Part of leading a team is shepherding and connecting with people that I lead and two of the girls on the team were dealing with similar difficulties that I had faced in the past.
 Also around that time friends who would rely on my for a lot of emotional support kept telling me I should be a counselor. The intriguing part, for me anyway, was that I was interested in going into counseling (since the best counselors are usually the ones who have suffered the most) but didn't tell anyone.
After praying about it and talking with our worship pastor I finally came to the decision that I have truly found my calling.
