a sense of accomplishment
I guess that since I am in the “Career” blog section I should sometimes blog about careers. I may or may not have previously mentioned that I have two jobs, but I do. One job I am a server at a normal everyday “Bar and Grill” restaurant, and the other I am an assistant to a State Farm agent, or in other words a secretary. I work Monday through Friday 9-5 and every other Saturday at my SF job and two or three nights a week 5:30 to about 10p at my serving job. I always have Sundays off. This means that at-least one day a week (sometimes two) I work both my jobs, which gets old, fast.
I love being a server, and I also like my office job because I work for my uncle and get to work with my aunt. But all work and no play makes for Denise being an unhappy girl.
When I was in high school I was busy all the time. Now that I’m older I still enjoy being busy, which is why I am able to do as much as I do and not hate my life. I get my sense of accomplishment from how much work I’ve done. I feel good about myself when I accomplish a lot, and the vice verse when I am doing nothing.
I know that neither of my jobs are “career” worthy, but you have to start somewhere before you can get anywhere.
Currently I am working and saving to be able to pay off some of my debt accumulated from my year and a half of college, and to be able to afford the next two and a half years I have ahead of me in nursing school. So my plan for my career is smaller than a bud right now, its more of a seed. So grow little seed, grow with encouragement, love, and determination. Because I am determined to be something more than just some college drop out. I’m determined to be the girl who took her life into her own hands, and came out so much better for doing so.
