Noelle had always planned everything out perfectly. She believed that working hard and sticking to her flawlessly planned-out goals would always lead to success. There was never any room to think outside the box or to deviate from her original set goals. Everything was going pretty well until she found herself unemployed just before the start of the fall semester. With only two semesters left until graduation, Noelle was now at risk of not completing her goals following her strictly allotted timeline. Through a combination of sheer determination and stubbornness, she refused to concede following through with her original plans. All the while, fate kept nudging her in a different direction. It seemed the harder she tried to make things work out the way she wanted, the more frustrated and hopeless she felt. She eventually found herself confronted with a decision to either continue on the easier and safer path or to take the road a little less traveled. However, with the way things were working out in her life, taking a step out of her comfort zone and stepping out in faith might be her best option.
