This is a rather tough post for me to write... I've been unemployed now for over 4 years... and there are many factors that account for this...
1. I lost my drivers Licenses about 5 years ago...( thank you MI Drivers Responsibility Fee )
Now this was in part to my driving and what not... and even has to do a bit with crowd of people I chose to hang out with at that time in my life... I didn't lost my Licenses due to drinking and driving like most... as I don't drink...
2. For the last 4 years, up until about 2 months ago... I Stayed WAY OUT in the boones.. with my grandparents... My grandfather was recovering from some heart surgery and ended up having to get a chunk of his stomach cut out due to the fact that he was taking an asprin regiment... but he was using the WAY to strong stuff like 375mg... asprin is acidic... and if your supposed to take a regimen make sure its the 81mg stuff...
And my Grandmother has parkensens... so needless to say... I stayed with them, and took care of them for 4 years, nearly 5, and they let me and my family stay there with them. I was a commforable situation.
It was about 5 months ago now that I had realized what I had done to myself... and now I'm paying the price...
I've exhusted all my savings, and this economy stinks. I've applied for many jobs from MickyD's to Consulting Possitions... but the fact of the matter is this... I have this 4 year gap that makes me look Extremely Lax... and I'm losing out the the much younger and more active...
I write this message to remind people... that you must, MUST, percervier... you gotta stick it out... despite all my short commings, I've managed to find a home... granted... my mother owns this home, so it gives me a sense of security... but I know that she can't help me with this forever... as has been said many times before me... all good things come to an end.
Don't make the mistakes that I've made in my life... consider the people you choose to hang around with... they are the people that help shape your life... stay in school... goto college... ( although I have seen MANY with degrees in my situation), and stick it out... put your best foot forward and you'll get the best in return...
I've put myself into a hole, and now I have to dig my way back out. Take a lesson from me... stay away from the shovel.
Hi Matt..the words from yesterday are gone..
ReplyDeleteWe have to believe in ourselves and the more we believe in ourselves the more the World does to. If you act like you don't exsist to the world then you won't...if you act like a moron to the world it will take care of that too. But if you take care of yourself and surround yourself with positive brilliant people then you and yours glows bigger and stronger.
I've seen my share of tragedy but have learnt to not hold it...I can see it but I'm done picking it up. I've been running a vet clinic for 27 years..with no real training, I went from knowing nothing about the business to the business not running without me...and now to passing the knowledge on so I can find, what's next for me.
I truely believe you have to have faith in your self and if you beleive you can do it you can convince someone to give you a shot.
The Vet I started with used vollenteers all the time...cheap easy labour..well after 4 weeks he was constantly telling his wife...'What am I going to do without her when the 12 weeks is up?" it took him another month before it kicked in...HIRE HER. I know my strengths and my weaknesses and work on them all the time.. life is for learning..and a day that I don't learn anything is a wasted day..dont' think I've had one ever.
We are not what we did, we are how we act and react..and there is always room for improvement if there wasn't...what would be the point of life?
Nice meeting you..you are adorable :>)
I look forward to what else you have to show me
peace friend
