Somehow, I am back at square 1. So what did I do?
I think I just quit my job. I sort of know why. Perhaps it was a lack of fulfillment. The health benefits were great, but I made under $12 an hour. I am not missing out on much.
The larger mistake I made this year (great, another year with mistakes) is that I ended up dropping my courses to work full-time.
So, looking back at those two decisions, I should have stayed in school and forgot about work. With that being said, I’m going to take courses this summer, and if I can just make it until then, I may not work. Maybe I’ll look like a bum at times, miss a few bills, and not look all too excited about life, but my job wasn’t for me. Three years of security, I guess that’s enough.
My record is terrible, though. Too many call outs, too many previous jobs that I have left, too many times I have walked away from school, only to return. Last semester’s grades, A A A B are the only things that give me hope that I can be successful. In conjunction, I was also doing well at work, but too much turbulence entering the new year, and my lack on holding on to the money I had saved last month, through me off. I also failed to leave behind me vices that stunted my growth.
So, now I am back at the beginning, and sooner or later I’ll conquer my mind.
The only winners are those that fail to try another day. Conquering ourselves is the hardest thing to succeed. Take it one day at a time and be encouraged–you’ll get there.
