Steps towards a future... unknown to me.

So recently, I have been feeling a little frustrated at work. Part of it is the fact its' retail and it will never seam to be a good career choice for me. The other part is that I don't get to spend a lot of time with my wife and daughter. My wife, Yumaira, has weekends off and that, is something I don't think I can do while working at a retail job. I voiced this concern to her and she suggested/pushed me into going back to school. It has been ten years since I went to school and many more since I lost took it seriously. Having grown up in Los Angeles, the school system, for me, was an utter failure. When I attended High School, there were riots there. While it didn't happen in my time, it did set forth the climate of my high school years.

It was bad enough that every class, including my honors class, was over crowded and full of teachers that didn't care anymore. When I would speak to them, they were frustrated with the system and the extremely low wages didn't help. I agree with them on that one, they needed more money to put up with the s*$% they had to deal with on a daily basis.

So, to say the least, school wasn't really all that inviting for me during those important times. I ended up ditching a lot because of it. Sometimes I would go to the local college (LA Valley College) and sneak into a class just so I can learn something. Other times, I would go hang out in the library and talk to the people that ran it.  Over the course of four years, I began to understand how the world works... And that Bush was a terrible president.

Sorry about that, I tend to go on a tangent sometimes. Either way; me going back to school takes a real big push. Thankfully Emilia, my daughter, and Yumaira are there to push me to get a degree and make something out of myself. Because they are tired of me going to work on the weekends, instead of going to a park with them. They are my biggest motivators and I am going to try for them. I tired doing it for myself and that's how I ended up in retail so lets see if I can make something of it.
