Part I: The Struggle

This blog is going to be an ongoing documentation of my experiences as I navigate towards my goal.

I feel like my life is at a crossroad right now. At times, I think I shouldn't have left my previous job. It was full-time gig at an international bank doing tech support for corporate clients and trouble-shooting. I didn't have my degree at the time that I started at that job. Working my way up from intern to an Officer, aka "I have a title!" to my current situation, finding a job that pays, is sort of disheartening. 

It's hard walking away from a job with benefits, 401K, paid vacation and all of that. Logically, I know I'm better off in the long run to be a college graduate and have a job that I'm really passionate about and pays well (I hope). My mind is so distracted right now. Trying to get out of my parent's house, tired of just the same old, same old life. I've always thought that I was meant to do something "more" than this. 

In June, I interviewed with a local newspaper for an internship position. The interview didn't go too well. Never did anyone scrutinize my work experience before. During the interview, I was asked to write a sample that eventually ran in the newspaper a few weeks later. 

Although I didn't get the internship (the editor said he already had one person working full time for him and this filled the need), I was offered a position as a freelancer. I took it.
