So how exactly did I end up as the owner of a handmade business and a jewelry maker?

Good question and the story starts a ways back.

Part 1:

When I graduated from high school I was pretty unsure of what I wanted to “be”. I had always been a very good student and I had a lot of potential but I suppose I lacked direction. I was put on a pre-engineering track at my community college and started out with some great core classes-calculus, physics, chemistry.

During that first year there I decided I would like to study architecture. I visited some schools and by the end of the year I had decided on Detroit Mercy. I was enrolled in school there, signed up for classes, and even had a dorm room set up.

During that summer though something just didn’t feel right. I would get upset every time I talked about my new path or my parents would ask about it. That got me thinking. I was driving home one day and during that ride I had an aha moment. See, during that first year I had taken a couple of calculus courses and had really, I mean really enjoyed them. Maybe I even loved them, maybe I loved math, and maybe that’s what I’d rather do. Yes I would rather study math! That makes me happy! I’m happy right now!

I was trilled with this new decision and shared it with my dad as soon as I got home.  So it was decided, I would stay at my community college for 1 more year and get my associates in Mathematics.

To be continued…next Friday.
