So many times I told myself that this year was going to be better but I was frightened of change. About a month ago I was advised by my Personal Finance teacher to check out a student services option at our school and apply through them to a few hiring stores in the local area. There were a few places that I was interested in on my first meeting, but I didn't actually go through with the job or job interviewing. A few weeks later the school held a open job fair and I went. Dressed as professionally as I could muster, I went in and spoke to about 5 different tables. Two out of three job booths called me back within the first two weeks.
At this very moment I am employed at a job about ten minutes from school, and I will begin training at another job that is fifteen minutes from my home. Right now I'll be doing both until this summer when I pause at one and proceed with the other. Then once my Summer job is ended I will pick back up at my "day time" job. I really felt as though before I got an interview from either place that I would screw it up some how. My first job interview went terribly, and yet I still received a position and hearty welcomes. My second interview went marvelously and everyone was very impressed with my spirit and charm.
In this very second I feel incredibly blessed. I could be with nothing and yet I am doubly blessed. Soon I will be saving enough for a car and having good customer service as well as really great work ethic on my future resume. I'm excited about my future again. I'm the kind of person that needs new and challenging things in order to stay excited. A lot of things have changed between this time last year and now, but I've gotten a lot better by keeping busy. My school work isn't slacking, and I actually only have a few more weeks of school. Next week I have a long week of Spring Break and I couldn't be more excited. Everything is working out really nicely. This summer is going to be amazing.
Something that I've learned as of recent is that there are a lot of people that aren't in my life anymore, and in a way I do miss each one of them individually from what they gave to me to make me who I am now, but for the people they turned into in the end I try to keep reassuring myself that if it's meant to be that one day things will come back. Nothing lasts forever, and nothing stays the same. Life changes and that's what makes it exciting. That's what I've been thinking about for the past few months.
Hope everyone's having a great week, and I will catch you all on the flip side.
