It's really hard to believe that I graduated high school eight years ago. A year ago , I finally got my license and it's still a dream to me that I have a license and I am sitting behind the wheel of a car and that I am on my way to owning that car. I am trully an adult now...at 26 years old...he he..! I have already been paying bills so maybe I was already an adult..lol, everyone has their own definition of what an adult is. I think almost every year I have thrown bits and pieces on the wagon of being an adult. This year also started a full time job with benefits which was so exciting to me because for so long I had been working part time jobs but working full time hours getting no benefits but a paycheck. I am not complaining because a paycheck is definately a benefit but I needed more and felt I deserved more. I am a person that strives to work hard and most of the time will go beyond what is needed and at most of my work places I felt unappreicated and no respect. I know many places in the work force and in the world that will happen but... with getting my bacholer's degree and maturing and feeling more confident in myself I knew I needed to strive to find something better than I had . I love my current job which can be intense at points but I'm gaining a great experience in the education field and meeting great people and learning so much about others and myself. It has many great benefits besides insurance and paid days off!
I look at myself 8 years ago and I wasn't really happy at all but now I am happy with who I am for the most part and happy with where I am. I am grateful for the experiences that have brought me here to this place in my life! My nephew is going to be 2 years old in April and I remember when he was born. I know that when we are in the moment it's different and it seems go by slowly but once that moment has pasted it seems like you are in a speeding car. Time is definately an interesting concept that we won't fully understand for quite sometime until we meet God again but we can take each moment and cherish it with all we have and learn from it.
