EDU-NEWS-AWARENESS-11.11.21

As worried, sad, and matronly-mortified as I was as I sent my first born off to college 2,733 miles away from me (but who’s counting), I got to thinking how different his experience will be from mine.OK, not the "torturing our mother" part...I came to the US to study 32 years ago, with my Spanish-English Dictionary in hand.I was raised in Ecuador by parents who struggled to send me to grade school.As much as they believed in education, it was a huge challenge for them to support me to graduate from high school, let alone go to college. Despite the obstacles I faced in going to university, I believed that if I studied and worked hard enough, I would achieve the American dream.And work hard, I did.During college, I worked two jobs during the day and went to school at night. Each day began at 6:30 am and ended at 10:30 pm.I managed to squeeze in one marriage and a divorce, quicker than I got my diploma. It took me seven years to finish a four-year degree. Eek is right.Fingers-crossed my son will have my husband’s DNA and finish in four.I graduated and eventually got a job on Wall Street. So what if I wasn’t happy, HATED numbers, and was lonely?!I was making good money and firmly believed, as my parents did, and their parents did, and their parents did, that struggle is par for the course.That fighting for the American dream was just that…a fight. It came with hardship, sacrifice, and struggle. Did you nod?Truth is, I might have been living the American dream, but I wasn’t living my dream. Enter The Handel Method and one of its mouthpieces – my new executive life coach. And guess what she came after, first and foremost? My dreams.And not just my dreams, my limiting beliefs, negative thoughts, and the theories I had (or that had me) that were informing my ENTIRE reality. Oh, that. Not only did I believe that I had to work extremely hard to get what I wanted, I also believed, understandably, that things were harder for me as an immigrant. And, well, what we believe, we prove, right? No wonder my life felt exponentially difficult.Some “things” (i.e. college) took an arduously long time and other “things” (i.e. marriage) took a tumultuous, although short, time. Maybe (cough, cough) I was my own problema...
