Okay, so... the past few years have been very trying. I lost a job and decided to return to college. It took longer than I expected to complete my degree but I picked up a second degree in the mean time. During that time I worked part-time at several temporary jobs.
My parents are 76 and 67 and neither are college educated. They have not a clue what dedication and hard work goes into obtaining a degree. They also don't understand why someone would start working part time to get one.
Never mind that the highest salary I could have hoped for was $12/hr. EVER.
But ...I did it. I got the degree!
Today I started the first full time job I have had in 6 years.
I am on top of the world!
It feels good to be back at work!
And everyone that I work with has a degree. It is a requirement.
I love it!
The simple things in life that I am grateful for today:
grandchildren
children
perseverance
