Final what if post: what if I didn't stay in Boise after graduation from college

This is the final what if post I was strongly considering moving after college somewhere else I thought about moving to Oregon or Washington or somewhere else but I decided not to because of the cost of living and having to start all over with my connections that took me a long time to build probably fifteen years I also felt like there are plenty of things close by in Boise and because of the council and my wonderful team I have decided to stay indefinitely I have the best team that I have ever had and it is growing also and I think if I moved I would be making a decision that could backfire let's just pretend that I moved it would be hard to keep the connections similar and myself journey would be different I struggle a bit financially now and if I moved I would be struggling a bit more than I was also I think that I would have not as easy of a job right off the bat and I would possibly not consider a way to volunteer at places that are solid my calling of advocacy would suffer as I wouldn't be needed as much and I also would potentially happen to not have as much wherewithal to be in the best spot I could be in so is Boise a forever home perhaps depending on what works for the time is it good for now mos def and I really appreciate all the hard work my team members put in to make it so I would potentially be isolated and insufficiently alone and that isn't something I would repeat I have made my choice and it was a great one stay tuned for my story of my life glancing over what I know of the bad old days in the first part of a four part blog and after that there will be a blog post on community all worth reading

Blog post what if #5: what's if I didn't start being an advocate

I'm trying to make sure that I continue to work hard on my career and I know that I will continue to create memories of what I need to do to change the world I am continuing to be in a way to learn more of what people need to do to create positive social change and I will learn how to continue to work on my way to help others reach their goals my mantra is standing up for those who can't and I make things work hard on what I should do to make things work the best for others who can't speak up for themselves I learn a lot of why's and I need to continue to create a positive attitude towards what needs to happen if I wasn't a strong advocate I would have a hard time making the world a better place I am thinking that given my voice I couldn't even think about what works for what I should try to do the work for others and what I should do to make things easier for others I think that if I didn't have a voice things wouldn't be that much brighter future for others and a relatively bright future for Idaho being an advocate is something that is a calling for me and I continue to pray that I make it a calling my whole life long
