Different Perspectives, Different Needs
I don't want to make my experience working construction sound like it was some sabbatical mixed in with good humility, at the same time, I am going to say it was something like that. It's really humbled me. My wants and needs have changed, even if it has been only two weeks of work, I have to say, putting in over 80 hours of laborious blood, sweat and tears under a hot sun really makes you look at things differently.
More than ever I want to help my family out. I've realized that if my family is in a bad spot, I can't sit still. Someone needs to take care of my mom, sister and niece. Looks like it has to my father and myself.
Things are looking good for my dad and I pray that he gets the jobs he's been bidding on. If he can land all three jobs, to say that it's going to save our ass is an understatement.
It's already good that he's been busy with work, but if we bring these projects in, that means that we can definitely get back on our feet. My parents live in squalor and it kills me. So if I can work for my dad and help him finish up his projects faster with less downtime and without cannibalizing our profits then I'm going to do it. My mom has been patient and so good with how we've been living. She deserves so much better.
