It is a beautiful moment when you have complete clarity of what you want to be when you grow up. I have always had an interest in pregnancy and infants. I was always watching birthing shows on tv when I was a young but I never really thought anything of it. Until I was about 16 I had no idea what I was going to be and then it hit me. A midwife, a job not everyone finds to be so glamorous but to me it is all I dream about. Once I realized what I wanted to be in life, I saw how everything around me and in my environment had been preparing me for it. Growing up on a dairy farm, I got to experience a lot of things most people wouldn’t. I was always around cows giving birth and I just loved to sit on a stole and watch the miracle of life happen.
