What I've been doing all this time? At least had a few of jobs: I've been an assistant at a day care center, museum, office and hospital.
At the day care center I helped to take care of children by playing and drawing with them, helping them to put on and taking off clothes when they went out and came back in, served them food, stuff like that. I really liked one boy who drew a lot because I still draw a lot. But my boss said I'm not good with children, so that didn't become my career.
At the museum, I got to digitally archive old photos of my home town. That was fascinating and made me really interested in history! I loved that and my boss liked me too.
At the office, I got another archiving project. I digitally archived old floor plans of buildings, old rental contracts and stuff like that. i also copied and printed maps etc. It was a really nice job that lasted long and I think I'm really good at that kinds of things.
At the hospital, I cleaned and washed rollators, wheel chairs, walking sticks, crutches and other stuff for the physiotherapy ward. It was OK but a hospital as a working environment made me somewhat nervous - especially when I found out that there was a morgue next to my office. (I saw a lot of corpses that went there.)
But now I've found something that was always there but I had never thought of it - horses. My love for horses never faded away even though I've had times when I had no money to go ride them. Now I'm working at my old riding school. I'm feeding horses and ranching them, I'm cleaning their stalls and making sure there is enough hay for them in the warehouse. I also clean public spaces and do other little things to make sure that both horses and people can be safe and enjoy there. I hope this is it, I hope this will be my career because I'm so motivated to study it and want to spend the rest of my life somehow connected with horses.
