I, me, myself am unique. However, I, me, myself am small- a spec of dust in the scheme of things.
How can I make my spec of dust count for something?
Yes, I still feel like crap- but tonight I'm going to get a good night's sleep and I am going to wake up tomorrow and clean the house, do some of my studying and get more resume's out there.
Why, you ask?
Because today it so happened there was a Medal of Honor service in Louisville, which made me think of my family history. See, the older generations of my family served in the military.
Both of my grandfathers served and fought in World War II. And my mother's paternal grandfather was a Navy Chaplain and is buried at Arlington. As is my Great Uncle, who just passed away in March- he served in World War II and the Korean War.
My maternal grandfather and that great uncle both got the Silver Star.
So here I am, a college graduate who is trying to find a job, but mostly living at home with no prospects and no REAL job to speak of...wow, I feel so inadequate compared to my family.
And its time to change that. I gotta own my CPA exam that I take next week- REALLY own it.
Time to get up and start applying for part-time jobs, and if I get a full-time job around the same time, so be it, people do that right?
I gotta pick myself up off this freakin floor that I've hit, and be the candidate that I believe myself to be.
Feeling empowered in my sickly state... how interesting.
Anyway, heres to become just the latest in the line of awesome people in my family. I WILL get there... though maybe not right away.
