I remember when I was so excited for that job at the detention center, I mean, "program," only to find out that it was not the environment for me. I had a few interviews lined up but I left without a plan. All I knew was that I was sick of the atmosphere and the people in it (mostly staff) and it was not good for my mental sanity, as I'm sure I've already written about. So, I had what seemed like 100 interviews to go too and I barely made the cut with most of them until I finally got an offer for the job I'm currently working. In between there, I almost regretted quitting so prematurely as my finances were not in the best shape and I always have so many bills due so I was definitely feeling some regret. However, I kept clinging on how frustrated and stressed out I became working in the program. Maybe I could have handled it better, stuck it out, and proved that I was more than able to get the job done, which I believe I did show in my efforts while an employee there, but I hold onto it that it was just not a good fit for me as a person. Anyway, I always make a way to get things done, no matter what. I don't always hit the mark but I damn sure make the attempt. All this to say, is it was worth it to leave there and take that risk on myself. The pay isn't at all close to what I was making but I like where I'm at now. I took that chance and created happiness in that space, now time to tackle other areas of my life and keep that same zest about it.
