It has been a year since I have made an entry to this blog and a long one at that. Since my last addition to this blog, I returned home to Maryland in late July of 2012 to a new house, another semester at school, and a task of finding a job in the area to pay my own bills for once. When I was home I found a steady job at a local air-conditioning company as an administrative assistant. Everyday I was going to work, coming home, taking a class here and there, and basically doing nothing else. Is this what I was to expect from life?
No. Fuck that.
I have a dream, passion, a flaw to some. I wish to see the world, travel it, and experience everything it has to offer. Living in new places, working new jobs, and having many friends in many places that I can share my life with.
To accomplish these ideals I tend to dive into opportunity head first, almost recklessly. Last time I applied to a random teaching program that happened to visit my school. At the time I wasn't an education major or English major, with no experience I jumped at the opportunity and a couple months later I was living in South Korea by myself learning as I went. I should have stayed for as long as I could, looking back it was ideal for me, but I was more ambitious. I came home and went into a slump, I saw what a possible life in America would be like. I saw a 9-5 job in a place that didn't need me or use any skill I may have and I saw all the money/reward for wasting my time get spent on gas money to get to the job I hated.
Seeing a trend start that I didn't like, I started researching my options, a few weeks later I again rashly dove into another life changing opportunity.
I joined the United States Army.
The skills, travel, and experiences I will have will hopefully have no comparison to a life at home. Either way I am on a track that can accomplish my vision of having an extraordinary life.
