Meet Shannon

Hey there!


My name is Shannon, and I’m a 21 year old recent biology graduate in Texas. I’m hoping to graduate with a PhD in Public Health with a concentration in Health Administration to fulfill my overall goal later in maybe, Pediatric Dentistry, so that I can work with children and their families. I also have two fur babies that I love more than my obsession for donuts, I'm sure you'll see more as the days goes on. 


As an undergraduate student, I took my life for granted every single day. I am selfish and through the midst of studying, I found myself spending countless hours watching Netflix, scrolling through social media, and getting so sucked into the world of YouTube that suddenly it seems like countless hours thrown into the drain. I spent my energy carrying on conversations via text, the new meaningless creation of “snaps”, rather than the norm of phone calls, or the preferred face to face exchanges. I became tired of it, I found myself doing things just to get by and decided this needed to stop.


So with one degree done, I decided to challenge myself to learn how to live in the present. I want to find my full potential, to push myself to limits that I’ve never reached before. I want to see the beauty in God’s creation by traveling more. I want to stop abusing my brain with toxic waste and use it purposefully. You know, pick up a book instead of watching countless re-runs of a TV series I’ve practically memorized the lines for. Here are some things I’ve managed to achieve since switching focus:


  1. Graduated from a university.
  2. Maintained healthy relationships with family & friends.
  3. Finished some great books.
  4. Traveled and plan to travel the world.
  5. Landed great career opportunities.


Of course, I still have plenty left to accomplish. Here are ten of my bucket- list I’d like to achieve:


  1. Graduate with a masters/ PhD degree.
  2. Move to a new city. (currently working on)
  3. Get a six- pack body (lol).
  4. Go sky diving/ do crazy things.
  5. Travel the world.
  6. Pray More/ Grow in faith.
  7. Pay off loans.
  8. Love more.
  9. Find an amazing guy and have children. 
  10. Seek positivity.

So yeah, in the midst of a how life can be so crazy sometimes, I forget about the things that brings light to my life. I fail just as anyone else and screw up more than anyone I know. But I have a passion for exploring new areas, baking, fashion, faith, and positivity. So now I want to help you achieve your very own goals. This blog is my place to pass on positive tips that I am learning as I work to conquer my very own goals. I want to help others escape a life of feeling stuck and to truly live fully instead of watching as your life slips by. So join me and I dare you to challenge yourself: find your purpose and pursue it with all of your heart.


Love, 

Shannon
