Breaking Free

At 20 years old and graduating college, I was ready to be thrown in the work force. Special events was where I was going and nothing could stop me. I kept looking for work but only received volunteer Opportunities which we all know doesn't necessarily bring in the money. I became obsessed with job search engines to the point where I was on Indeed.ca more than Facebook and Twitter combine. 

My job at the time had me between 65 hours a week to being off weeks at a time. During my time off I would sit in the dark and stare at a screen obsessed with finding something better. I became fed up with the situation and spent all my time in bed, not eating, not showering. I was stuck in a rut and I became comfortable with it.

I knew this wasn't my future and I needed to be proactive with my life. I decided that the only way I would better myself is going back to school. I had to ask myself what do I see myself doing and what can I tie events with? While my constant job searching I noticed PR, all I knew was the writing component of the job and I knew that would be a challenge for me because I consider it my weakness. In the end it’s what I decided as a path.

I then decided to enroll  in Niagara College, solely on the fact that I felt I was living in a Negative environment and needed to get away. Although both studying something new and moving away was a challenge, I wanted to show myself that I am capable of so much more than I originally thought and with determination I will achieve my goal.
