So during my first year, it was a lot of trying to find out who I am and who I want to be. I was beginning to work my first job, my friend group was changing a lot and so it was a transition process/period.

When I started college, I was not sure what I wanted my major to be. I would tell others I wanted to be a teacher but in reality I was still undecided.

I started working for a makeup company called Mary Kay. I was an independent beauty consultant so in a way I was in my own manager. I had guidance of a coworker from my grocery job that also did Mary Kay as well as a team leader who would hold zoom meetings.

Other than my tribe, these are the people I look up to. This is my family. My dad was a businessman and I found that out after I changed my major to business. My mom who is the best mom, she’s so hardworking and loves her family so much. My brother Tim who helped take care of me when I was younger, my brother is like one of my best friends. I always want to do my best because I know they are always supporting me.

I knew I wanted to change my major to Business because I was interested in skincare and makeup. I was very interested in the business aspects like doing cashier which I have done as well as running a business and the costs/expenses.

There is so many people that I want to include but two people that I am including are always there for me. My best friend Andrea moved across the bay but we still get to hang out once in a while. She is my number one best friend I have known her since elementary school. My other friend Rodney I talk to daily and have known him since 7th grade.

Connecting to the 4 agreements: I used to listen to what people said, so it really got to me if someone was making fun of me. In the first year and second year, I was not doing my best. I wish I tried more because I could have been done already but I wasn’t wanting to.
I broke those old agreements by accepting myself and not caring what others have to say. I also have been trying to do better and this is my last year of Community College which is so exciting. I’m in the process of applying for Universities and starting a new job. I’m happier at my new job.

These past few months have also been a transitioning period. I quit my job to explore more opportunities plus I wanted to find a job that I was more happier. I lost friends during this time because they did not want to support me and so I was upset. I was scared that if I didn’t find a new job, I was gonna have to go back to the grocery job. I did not want to, it’s was an experience full of ups and downs and I wanted a job closer to home. I was able to find a new job closer to home and I’m happier than I was at the grocery job.

I am 21 years old and even though it has taken me a little longer than I thought, I am in my last year at Community College. I am also now a sales advisor at H&M and I’m so excited to be getting more experience as well as learning new things. It is never to late to pursue your dreams or taking a chance at something.
