Where Am I?
Right now, I am in that difficult stage of deciding which college am I to attend. One minute, I'm decided into what profession I am going in to, the next I have second thoughts and I'm confused. In my case, I have backup, but I'm not sure if that should be my first choice. After the College and Career Day on Monday, I was set on being a police man. But now, I realize I really want to have technology and computers as my life. Going into information systems sounds like the best bet for that. Now, it is time for the choice of College.
Currently, in my opinion, I have a stable part time job at the Aurora Mall. I hate working there, but it keeps my car running, my phone working, and supplies me with plenty of food. I am one of the last people there that have worked there for longer than 2 months. In my workplace, I'm like a senior! I get to teach all the new people how to work the box crusher, stock shelves, and backstock. You would think a manager or boss would do that, huh? With my job, I have learned to work with good ethic and to be more responsible and out-going. I was terribly shy before I started. I would say I am still shy and reserved, but if I have to try and keep a conversation going, I will try! My boss gives me certain respect others at work don't receive. He likes to talk in a lot of detail to others, even if they have worked there longer than I have, and then he checks up on them to make sure they did it right. With me, he gives me an idea of what needs to be done, and I do it. I don't have him there telling me what to do or how to do it. I choose what I do in order to get what needs to be done. Some of the other employees act like they need the extra help, if you know what I mean.
I feel like no matter where we go, hopefully that one part of us which makes up your personality will never change. Because in that, it has memories of how we were brought up. That is one of the biggest things that contribute to where we are. Where are you in your life? Are you that person who treats everyone like they are nothing, or do you treat them with respect? This is not only "who we are", but also "where we are" in morals.
We've been friends for a LOOONG time and you have stepped out of your box a TON since then! Decisions are the hardest part about life. Man, if we didn't have to make them... think of how much time we'd have!!!
ReplyDeleteOK, Matt, thanks for the "literal thinking" joke about where you are to get my attention in the first paragraph! Ha. Ha. I like that you mention your job at the Aurora Mall as it seems you are there a lot, so it makes sense that you mention it. I hope you do make a decision about your college because it is an important one. Go and visit each one so you can get a "feel" for which one is right for you.

You could always make the long journey with me up to Chadron! If there is any place your mother wouldn't follow you, it would be to there. The patience you have with the Aurora mall is astounding. There's a reason you're the only one of the old generation left!
