This time last year I was a complete mess! My depression was running rapid, and my life was out of control. I found out I wouldn’t be graduating, and there was so much pressure to succeed suffocating me. For me it was the financial stand point that stopped me. What hurt me the most however was working so hard for four years to at the very end being told I wouldn’t be crossing the finish line. It devastated me. Not everyone truly understood the hurt I felt, and till this day still don’t. At that time I had to take a step back and reevaluate my life. I had to ask myself what I was going to do next, and I will be honest and say that I had no damn clue.
Despite not finishing school, I think it was the best thing for me overall. This last year has pushed me to be a better me. If I hadn’t finished school I wouldn’t have become a nanny, and had I not become a nanny, I wouldn’t have gotten my job at a Marriott hotel, and had I not gotten that job I wouldn’t now be a Catering Sales Manager, making salary pay, with no degree. A domino effect. All of that hurt I felt a year ago was worth it in the end, because now I can afford to pay my way to my degree. I don’t have to listen to people keep telling me no they can’t help me, because I can help my damn self now. This time last year I was at a lost, but I picked myself up and worked my ass off to make something of myself. I have a job I love, I am making money that I am happy with, and I am back on track to get my degree. I am more than happy in my life, and I am living it the best way I know how. Don’t ever let someone tell you that you cannot accomplish something. Don’t ever let a bump in the road derail you from you dreams and goals. The only person that can hinder your capability is yourself. Take it from me, nothing is impossible.
