Lost and Happy

Me, looking for direction and enjoying the scenery

My name is Steph.  I work as a Mental Health Tech at a Psychiatric Hospital.  I love the job, enjoy the patients and am thankful everyday for the chance to be useful to someone in some of their life's darkest moments.  I have a passion for making the world a better place.  I thrive off interesting people, you know, the ones with stories and adventures that outshine Hollywood with all their rarity of real life and human behavior.  I am really into traveling the world, seeing it from different angles and taking it all in with an open mind.

After deciding many times what I wanted to do with my life, I have reached a final decision: I have no idea.  However, I am never happier than when I am lost.  I like being forced to see and feel each moment because of the lack of a tangible finish line to sprint towards.  I am lost in the garden; it's a step past stopping to smell the roses.   

My current ideas on what I want to be when I grow up (I'm 28 years old) are: a humanitarian aid worker, a physician, a surgical physician's assistant, something in public health, a therapist, a paramedic for disaster relief, a social worker, anything for the WHO, the UN or UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders or MAP International as long as I get to work where I have something useful to offer those who need it most.  I want to fight for human rights and promote the empowerment of people everywhere.
