I'M IN A VERY HYPER MOOD!!
Oh my goodness I'm just so BUZZING!!
It's been a big couple of days for me! Lots of decisions being made and things changing! It's exciting!
So, I've written a post about my dad and how much of an ass he is. Something happened the day before yesterday that really set it in for me that I don't need him in my life. I don't need his attitude affecting me. So... I acted on a thought I've been having for a while, and I changed my name! My mum and dad are divorced and my mum has re-married, but I still have my dad's name. It's a horrible name and I've never, ever heard of another person with this second name. Nobody knows how to pronounce it or spell it. I've finally changed my name to match my mum's new name and the name of my step-family. It's a massive thing for me but my mum said this would be a good time to do it; while I'm leaving school and filling in forms for new things. It's so strange to hear it with my first name after 17 years of my old second name... And it's a nightmare changing everything on social media and stuff!
The second big thing is that I got a job! I applied for a new job a few weeks ago but as they had just taken on new people I didn't get accepted straight away. A few days ago I got an email telling me that I got an interview. I went to the interview the day before yesterday and yesterday I found out that I was accepted! So I'm going to a welcome meeting tomorrow. I'm so excited. I can't wait to start making my own money again. I haven't been able to get another job since I left my last one last... October time? And it's even better because my brother and sister both work there along with my other brother's girlfriend and a bunch of other people I know. Jasmine also wants to start there but can't till May because of her age.
Anyway...
Last, but not least, is that I applied for college. I wasn't originally going to go to college and it's very last minute so I might not get accepted. It's for a travel and tourism course which I thought might help towards becoming a cabin crew member. A bunch of people have suggested it and my cousin's girlfriend said her friend done it then went on to work for Emirates. So hopefully it helps and if not I'm going to re-apply next year.
I've been worrying so much about the future for the last few months. I've been really upset and panicking, and now it's all sorted within a matter of days! It feels so weird knowing that I don't have to worry about anything. If I don't get accepted to college I still have a job, and it feels like such a relief to have a plan A and B sorted.
My advice to you: don't do what I did. Don't sit worrying and fussing about the future, but do nothing about it. If you know what you want to do, then do everything in your power to get it done. Apply for a bunch of colleges, universities and jobs. Don't leave it too late. Research what you want to do and figure out what you need to do to get to your dream job. Nothing is impossible. If you want to work in some far away country doing some random thing nobody has heard of, then go do that. Nobody is stopping you but yourself and the limits you put on yourself. If money is a problem, do what I'm going to do and take a couple of years off and get a good job to save. Maybe do another course in the meantime that could help?
You can do anything you want, but you have to have the determination and put in the work to reach your goals.
I'm looking forward to the future now, rather than dreading it. I've even thought about what it would be like to live by myself, which I've never even considered before. I feel so happy! I just want to share it with everyone!
Okay, that's me done with the encouragement speech.
Bye-Bye!
