4 years
So 4 years ago I handed in my resume at two stores, one of which offered me a job. At the time I was in year 10 of highschool and from this point things haven’t changed. I excelled at both my job and school. Both of which required a whole heap of my time. Throughout the rest of highschool I continued to grow in my job and being offered a management position as soon as I was 18. I defferred that offer until I finished school in 2008. In school ranking in the top 9% state I got into my course at Uni and over that summer I advanced into management. For the year and a half that followed I could be found working 42 hour weeks until Uni begun and after this 30 hours weeks while studying full time. This is no easy task but despite this I was able to maintain a decent intellectual level.
Lookig back now, though I am proud of my accomplishments, I can’t help but feel that my life (the prime years of it anyway) have been reduced to work and study. It’s quite depressing really and I am only now realizing how much I really truly missed out on. I think that it’s a big part of why I am who I am today and why I feel like I went from a 15year old to a 28year old trying to study and keep a job. If I could go back, I’d definately make more time for the things that matter in life, my friends, my family and ofcourse I’d definately dedicate more time to finding love, in myself, and hopefully with someone else aswell.
