My Writing Journey Part 2

After graduating high school I went straight into the workforce as a maid for an assisted living which then change to me being an RA(Resident Aide) there. I moved out of my parent's house and got a puny apartment for $300 and month and began living as an independent adult. During that time I tried going back to the story and changing it many times but I wasn’t happy with it yet and still couldn’t get passed that damn chapter. At that time I changed my Main Character’s name to Akane and gave the name Kaya to another. I also change the jewelry to a charm bracelet. Plot change from the first time writing it and I was feeling better about it but still not enough to be happy with it.

Then I met my future husband and got pregnant. I turned my focus to my child and husband. I was pushed onto another path away from being a writer. After a few years of working in nursing homes, I found I didn’t want this path anymore. With my husbands encouragement I went to college in 2014. At first I didn’t know what to do until my husband mentioned graphic design. I enjoyed it and the extra class requirements helped in in other ways. After graduating with a graphic design degree, I go on a trip to London with the college theatre group and experience new things with my husband beside me (he even proposed in London). College was a different experience all around and having a kid changes a person. I learn many things and decided I don’t care about others’ opinions; it was a reason I doubt myself. My husband helped me grow more confidence in myself. My child growing up showed me I could do it and anything even with some mistakes made along the way. Even though I drifted farther from my book, I still kept it in mind.

It took me a couple of jobs after college to get on as a graphic designer. I got a job as a second graphic designer in a farming manufacturer company but after working three months there I had to move. 

Once again a path came along that I had to take, but what I didn’t know was that it was going to lead me to a choice.
