I have been given the opportunity to grow into a professional adult. By a stranger.
For free.
Actually, better than that, for PAY.
I have been drifting along at my boring, irritating job for year now. I have zero education and zero ambition. The likelihood of me beginning a new career path or becoming anything more than I am was growing smaller every day.
Out of the blue, a contact I made at work called me. I had spoken to this man for about a total of 30 minutes between maybe 3 interactions. We were essentially strangers. This man was apparently impressed by our brief interactions. So he's giving me a chance to help him start up a small marketing and communications company.
It's understood that I possess only the basic skills to really start in this area, and I need a lot of training and help.
This is HUGE to me. This is a chance for me to really learn some new skills. This is a chance for me to learn to handle my responsibilities better. This is a chance for me to learn time management.
I want to take this and just RUN with it. I want to use this opportunity to really become a respectable adult. I'm tired of being a 26-year-old 19-year-old. I'm tired of being a mess. I want to start getting things right for myself and the people around me.
I'm excited about this. I want to do this right.
