Steps

9 October 2008

I went to school to study graphic design, in some ways aspiring to be where I am now. A couple of jobs later, I was working in a print shop’s bindery.

A friend of mine is in school studying architecture to, yes, someday be an architect. This summer he worked in construction.

These steps my friend and I have taken are important to get where we have wanted to go. I wonder, though, how many people have ever decided to halt their ‘progress’ for something they found mid-step, for something they never thought they’d love. I’d like to hear some of these stories.
