Once again it has been sometime since I have journaled. I never expected to be this busy especially in here, but the reality is that I’m busy. The reason that I’m busy is that I have set some lofty goals for myself which include; educational, mental, physical, and spiritual. Now I have started RDAP which is a full time program, as well I have college studies, other FSA classes and then a Unicor Clerk job. Why do I do all of this, because not only are there extrinsic values but intrinsic value to all of this work that I do. My goal was to come out of here stronger in all of the areas that I just mentioned. People really don’t understand why I do all that I do but to me it is a personal journey to challenge myself as well as gain new knowledge. Even in here my life has gotten better because I have been able to work on myself and my relationships. I know that at times I’m just trying to get on a level playing field as the rest of society which I feel is important to always keep in mind. I don’t think I’m above anything else but that doesn’t mean that I will not push myself to be the best at whatever I do. As I continue to work hard I feel good about everything that I have completed. With knowing that I’m content and feel good about the future. I still believe that there are some really good years ahead and going through these experiences it allows me to understand life and have an appreciation for the life I have left.
