Risks

Risks are all a matter of if you take them or if you don't take them. Some risks may be dangerous, but others may be good. My teacher wrote in my yearbook this year to take risks. Not to back down on anything you put your mind too. I recently just committed to myself to take the risk and run a half marathon. I have only done a 10k, so this is my first marathon! I have to go through lots of training and cutting back on a lot of things, but I will be able to say that I have completed a half marathon! Crazy that I go into it, but I am super excited for this new chapter in my life. Today, I was reflecting on how much I have made it through. Through trials and risks that I have taken. I've been trying to decide on a major I want to do for my career and the two that keep coming to my mind are both exhilarating and long hours. They both help people and they both will keep me going and help me to take risks in life, being put in high risk situations. They are both amazing careers. I just have to choose one and make sure that it's the right career path that I need to take for my future. That is the risk. Not knowing what I'm getting myself into. I don't want to have any regrets. Never, not at all. I want to take the risk of running that marathon of life.
