After numerous breakdowns at work, tears, rage, and the fact that I practically am the slave around here I had a big wake up call.
The whole college situation has been in the back of my mind since I first got my HS diploma a year and a half ago. I wanted to go to college, for so many reasons:
A) I would be the only one out of my close family not to go.
B) My father would hold it against me(not that it really matters that he holds it against me, more that I would not have him throw that in my face years later)
C) Because I know that wherever my mother is, she is watching me and it would make her proud.
Yes, they are all reasons for other people, not exactly for me, but I also want to go, I like learning, I like knowing more, I enjoy school and the fact that with a diploma comes respect, the respect I at the moment lack because I do not have a college education. Even if I never get to use my degree I want to have it, so I get to yell at everyone and act snobbish because I have a college degree(just kidding).
Seriously now, I do not want to be a PA for the rest of my life, I do not want to make loads of money, I want to help people, have a small house in the middle of nowhere(preferably Africa), a ranch of kids yelling my name and a big huge swing out in ma yard. That's it!
In no place in my dream there is time for a stressful job, with money hungry people, that are all pretty much crazy and think that everyone else is too.
So I am going to college, no matter how hard I will have to work, how long I will have to stay up, how tough it might be I will not let it come in my way! I sound like a character from the braveheart movie.
I am pretty insane on my own I do not need anyone else's insanity to complete mine.
I have exactly 5 days to sign up for a Biology exam, get a tetanus shot, and study for the stupid exam so then I can apply to a college so I have an answer in October, it is not much time, but it is enough time. Enough time to change my life!
It is the time for change!
Oh I love life...at times!
