Did your education prepare you for your career or occupation?
I would say no, but at the same time it was life and all those experiances shaped who i am and what i brought to my job
Has your education or career/occupation trajectory ever changed? How?
Yes lots of times. Life does not always go as planned and i found that going with the flow was best.
A little introspection...
To me, being successful means...
Finding contentment in what is
My definition of success has changed over time.
It used to revolve more around money. Now i know having enough and loving myself is most important.
My greatest accomplishment to date and what I’ve learned from it
My greatest accomplishment would be the amount of people i have helped through my daycare business and that i still have the desire to do more for more people. In new ways. It feels like an accomplishment to not be burnt out and fed up with the human race.

I have no regrets. I did the best i could with what i had at the time.
An unexpected event that significantly changed my life and how it impacted me
