Young adults must learn that life is full of obstacles and challenges, like dealing with school, work, and family. Sometimes those challenges can have devastating effects on young adults minds and bodies. In order to overcome life's challenges young adults need to learn how to manage time, how to manage stress, and how to be flexible. I had to implemant each of these skills at the same time when I suddenly had to move into a new home. Unfortunatlely, I was evicted from my home in September, 2010. My children's father and I seperated; therefore I couldn't pay the rent. I knew the eviction was coming, but I was not ready to face the consequences. I was now a single mother, with two children and no where to live. I knew I had to do something and do it quick. With this in mind, I began looking for a home when the eviction was finalized. I had a place in mind that I had called about two months prior to my eviction, when I realized that my children's father and I would possibly be separating. I called the woman back in regards to the home I had inquired about before. It just so happens that the home was available and ready to move into. She said, "If you can come up with the first months rent and the security deposit by the end of the week, the house is yours." I borrowed money for the security deposit and the rent, but now I had to find a way to move into this new home within a one week time frame. During the second week in September, 2010 I began moving into my new home, with only one week to do so. I did not have the time to take off of work, find a babysitter or pay a moving company to assist me with moving. I can recall not being able to get enough sleep, working long days and hours, and working a six day work week. Not only did I have to somehow continue working, but I also had to bring my two young children along eith me as I moved and traveled. My children were ages one and seven, which made moving even more complicated and time consuming. At this time, the one week move seemed like a long and never ending journey. Each day I would work a ten hour shift from six o'clock in the morning until four-thirty in the evening. After work I would pick my children up from daycare and then begin to load up the hauling trailer with my household items. I would sometimes make two trips to my destination, depending on the size of the loads. I would continue with this until approximately ten o'clock at night. I'd later put the children to bed, and therefor allowing myself to get a few hours of sleep before the process had to be repeated the following day. Finally, the day had come when the move was finally complete. I had moved everything from my old home into my new home. The children were happy and so was I. It felt great to experience this moment of relief. I can remember when I first learned that I had to move and how long of a process that it seemed it would be. I thank God for allowing me to manage my stress and be flexible throughout the process. Now that I look back at the past, I know that it was all worth it. I was always told that if there is a will, there is a way. I had the will and way.
