I know what my vocation is now, but I have some educational deficiencies that have to be addressed.

Just asking, how will achieving your educational goals lead you to your "path"?

At the same time, I know that there are things that I am passionate about. I am trying to figure out how to make them into my work.

Sometimes, you just have to make that leap and have enough faith in God...

And sometimes, you just do it and make it up as you go! That is why life is a journey while you pursue your path and right now, we are invited to walk along with you...
