Stop Complaining No One Is Going To Get You Where You Want Except YOU
5 years ago, I never imagined this is where my life would end up.
For 15 years in a row, I clocked in for 12 hours; I clocked out for 12 hours. The first 5 years were exciting.
It was a dream. I worked 3 days a week and made more money than I did waiting tables.
I had worked really hard to get through college and actually graduate. It worked; I am a C-average student on a good day.
Plus working full time, because I had no money and no parents to help me.
I was in the financial aid office crying more than once because I had no money to continue. But I made it, no idea how, but I did.
Studying is not my strong suit, I have too much energy to sit still. But I did what I had to do. Graduating was my only way out.
My family wanted me to stay on the farm, get married, and never leave the road. Much like most of my family before me.
