Many folks have wondered why I am where I am today and why I am doing what I am doing ..... so here it goes :) It has been almost ten years since I have worked for someone else besides myself. I have been writing and doing what it takes to make it. Certain things changed and happened to me in my life back in 2005 that caused me to no longer work in corrections or law enforcement. To be honest ... I am happy for the loss and wished I had never stepped into those uniforms. What people dont understand is there is a lot more involved than just keeping inmates or answering calls to save lives. There are politics and things that happen that would rattle most peoples cages. I am not trying to offend all my law enforcement buddies that are doing well. Plain and simple it was not me, and it consumed me for a while. The truth is at one point I could see myself as a hero in a uniform, but my path does not lead that way. I have three classes to complete to get my BS degree in Psychology with emphasis on Applied Behavioral Analysis and that is my true calling. Those of you that know me well.... know that is what I am good for.... fixing mental issues. Life is good for me right now, but I have to work.... I have to start where I began when I was 16 years old.... the customer service industry. I have been to college three times.... so frankly going back to minimum wage is a hard thing for me to do.... please take no offense if that is what you like to do. My point is .... after everything that has happened since 2005... I am having to start at the bottom all over again. It is DAMN hard, but I have to do it. I have to do it so I can finish those classes and be that person I always wanted to be. My ultimate goal ten years from now is to have my own office in some building counseling with families.... or helping teens :) Life is not always what we plan or what we expect.... but there is one thing I learned from it all.... Quit crying about it and get up and fight for it!!! The purpose in writing this is simply to let it all go :) Now off to work my first day in the AM :) I can do this!!!!
