excitement radiates from when I think about all the new people I’ll get to meet. I can already see kids playing on the playground, but I see no one that I know that I can hang out with.

and attitude that trying to be productive under extreme conditions is hard enough without hearing his daily rants about his lack of entitled respect, lack of appreciation from management or the fact that he feels he is entitled to give his two cents where I feel quite frankly, he is not entitled.

performer and making myself irreplaceable did not think they would ever let me go. How I came to the decision was by talking to my wife and family and praying to God to steer me in the right direction.

All I could think about was starting the engine

heard many people in my life state that high school is the place where you learn who you truly are, but in reality when I think about who I really am my mind goes blank. High school doesn’t shape you into who you are but the experiences and test that life puts us through do.
