Replies to 'Career Goals'

Quote From: angienickel

I need some advice!  A lot has happened in my life, but my greatest joy has been my two little boys.  I must admit, though, children were never a part of my goals in life.  I wanted to graduate from high school and join the Navy, and then the ranks of law enforcement officers, but that never happened. I quit school on the first day of the second semester of my 12th grade year, moved out of my home state, found a good man, got pregnant and got married.  All of these things took place in that order!  The day we married, which also happens to be my birthday, we moved from Florida to North Carolina, overnight!  Three years after the birth of our first son, we were, again, surprised with a second son.  On September 20, 2001 my life and body was changed forever.  My husband, oldest son, and I was hit head on by a drunk driver.  My family, thank GOD, made it out of that car alive and well.  I wasn't as well as my son and husband, but I was alive.  The motor of our car actually crushed two bones in my right foot.  I belive that it is unfixable, and I have developed advanced osteoaurthritis.  My foot is not reliable, and I fear that my passion for law and law enforcement will be extinguished because of the actions of someone that drove while entoxicated.  I need facts and words of encouragement.  Please help, if you can.
