2-4 years. That’s all it could take for a young adult to fully step into who they are after high school. Though, society says you’d be behind. Your peers are ‘ahead’ of you. This and that. When in reality, those few years that were taken to really emerge into all you are, what you love and who you are made to be, could save you 10+ years in something you were never meant to be in, in the first place.
Sheri Gallaghar, mom of 6, grew up when a college degree was considered a necessity to survive in the real world. College started out as a miserable experience for Sheri until she found her life-long passion and acquired a masters degree in Recreation Administration. Throughout college and the years following, she was able to be a part of many recreational activities. She now uses her degree and experience to help at-risk youth discover themselves through time in nature. Sheri’s time around young adults and her experience with navigating helping her children through early adulthood years, has shown her the major importance for young people to have time to get out before stepping into college, and emerge into who they are going to be.
On this episode of Success is Subjective, Sheri joins Joanna to share her journey from being miserable in school, to gaining a masters degree in what she absolutely loves and has been using ever since. Her story shows the importance of the time needed for someone to fully know themselves before heading straight into a lifelong career. Not only is her story evident of this, each of her six children and all of their different experiences with school, are perfect examples that every path is different and sometimes that path changes. Listen in for insight on Sheri’s ambitious life story and how she now leads other people to their path, literally in nature and figuratively in life.
