I still remember promising myself when I was seven and we were living in that tiny apartment in Scarborough that when I grew up, my family would never be poor again. That's why sitting in that parking lot on the first day, all that was running through my head was;
I've made it, and now I won't let anything get in the way.

Yes, that's a jitz table in our lunchroom. No, the coffee machine isn't that good (it just looks cool). And yes, that last picture is my new girlfriend. She's quite big, and I'll probably spend a lot of time with her the next few months.

Anyways, it's already been two weeks (feels like two months), and I've done a lot of growing up. I'm still learning everyday what it means to be an adult and while I've made my share of mistakes, for now there's no sense in second-guessing myself over petty things. I'm an only child, and therefore I know I'm carrying both the dreams of me and my family on my shoulders everyday. I won't let them down, especially when success is within my fingertips. So excuse me while I look ahead, my career is waiting.
inspirational. you motivate me to work harder too.
