Making Those Changes

    It been already 4 months, time sure does fly. I don’t know where to begin. It seems that when I look back at January I see a younger version of myself, one that has yet to understand that life takes you on a rollercoaster ride with all it ups and downs. How fast things can go down hill and how fast it things can turn. I didn’t really think about getting my own place or a job until I found out that I needed to do something, that I needed my own personal space to grow and gain new experience. You can say I am one of those late blommers. I started to have more responsibility and less dependency on my parents. I mean I been wanting to do that since I graduated. I just did not take the initiative. I don’t know why I wanted to start now I just felt like I need too. I couldn’t guess why I did not start long ago maybe I was just not ready for it.  I just recently got a job. I have a job at Home Depot as a hardware sales associate and it pays well I guess. The costumers are great as well as the associate who work there. I will probably stay here for about a year until I can get some experience before I find a better job. I’m not going to stick with retail forever and I really did not want to. I guess right now I’m waiting for an opportunity to find my own place to actually take that next step in the growing up process. I wanted to get a job and I accomplished it. I’m content about where I am at in life. I feel as though I need to wait a little before getting a new place, it complicated to explain it almost like a gut feeling. I mean I wanted to, if I could have got my own place this semester I would have taken it but the opportunity did not arise. I really wanted to live on my own, to test myself if I could handle the real world. I wanted to start at the basic foundation of growing up, being not a young adult but a grown adult with choices and responsibilities to make. I wanted to pay my own bills: electric, rent, water, phone, car note and gas…etc. I wanted to be more indepedent. I wanted to do something good for myself something better for myself if possible and I wanted to experience what other have already experience that are my age. I know I need to get caught up since I know I am left behind by my other peer who have already been in the shoes that I’m walking in right now. They have already experince what I have yet to experience. I know I change a lot during the past 4 months, I probably change more in these 4 months, then in the past 4 years now that I think about it. I know I will keep changing the more I learn and as I grow I’ll keep on gaining the knowlegde needed to succeed on every opportunity that comes my way.
