Post 36: I Finally Got A J.O.B!!!!
Yes indeed it is true... I finally am employed after three years. I'm gonna be working at Stop and Shop for the summer in the Dairy department. I'm lactose intolerant so I won't be stealing anything, that's for sure. I'm excited. It's my first real job, the first job I've had in three years. Not to mention I busted my ass in applications just to get one... I've never been more determined to get a job than this summer, especially coming off an extremely busy last semester. I wanted to keep that momentum up but not as extreme and this accomplishes that goal.
And to think that the day started out with me getting ready for a Hiring Fair for Radio Shack. Turns out that got postponed until next Wednesday for some reason. I'm still gonna go to it -- getting two jobs would be huge -- but it's not as much of a loss if I don't get it. As soon as I got home, there was a message from Stop and Shop requesting an interview that day. I was already in my suit from the hiring fair so no need to change or anything like that. Hell, I filled out a Macy's application today and got an email requesting an interview that night. Finally my luck is changing. A 3.72 GPA and now a job... hard work definitely pays off.
I feel good... mentally I feel like myself again but this time it's a new me. I can see people for who they are better and in the process, I can see myself clearer. Everyday I go through a different emotion but now I'm also revealing more about myself -- everyday is a new revelation. I am slowly becoming reborn; I can feel it. It's like the old, violent me from Stewart Manor is returning but the new calmer me is also here... and they're both beginning to look at each other and see how similar they are and how they can work together rather than fight each other. Next year may just have the potential to be my finest hour.
