Being an adult is scary.
Not that I haven't known this my whole life. Unlike most kids I never uttered the words, "I can't wait till I get older." Now that I am older I'm certain I was right and those other kids were nuts.
My life is at a limbo point. School has been a constant; my comfort zone. Even during the times when my life was chaotic, I knew for several hours each day where I'd be and what I'd be doing. Education has exposed me to so much more than I had ever expected as a young girl in the South Bronx.
Now that chapter is over. I find myself house-hopping, staying with friends and relatives. Applying for job posts I never hear back about..or, maybe I do, I wouldn't know on account of my phone being stolen last week after a job interview ironically enough.
It's a little daunting. Okay, it's completely overwhelming at times. I watch several hours of scripted TV to escape from my frantic thoughts. Then I float through more job posts, and try thinking of new ways to stand out. This blog is one. An informal way to introduce myself, develop my own voice and create a social media presence. I've received more than 100 page views this month!
I think the greatest challenge in reaching my goals would be getting out of my own way. I've adopted a "Can-Do" mentality, and put my best foot forward each day. Starting today I will apply to at least five jobs a day.
These things take time, but the methods work if you work them. I am all set to put all gears in motion.
