Im so broke..
I wish that i had the advantage of making a lot of money. Sadly, I'am not that fortunate. I do work hard 5 to 6 days a week trying to get by.. Here lately i have had soo many bills that have left me broke. School cost way too much money, that makes everything difficult for a guy like me. Sometimes i wish that i was like most college students who do not have to worry about tuition and all that stuff. Yet, again i give so much money to these people so that I can attempt to recieve a degree from their school. I know that God has me exactly where he wants me. I do believe that If i work hard and try to pay for this, he will make everything work.. It is a difficult ordeal to grasp. I surly with that i could wake up and all my school is paid for until i graduate. but in reality, this would not be possible. Am i venting because im broke? maybe.. but maybe i should listen to Dave Ramsey and watch my spending habits.. Come on im almost 22 and i do not need to feel as if im a 40 year old man drowning myself in debt, hoping that ill get a degree that will help my future.. BUT on a lighter note.. Im so thankful for where i stand with my life. I wasn't the brightest in highschool.. well maybe i was, but did not apply myself as i should have. High school i did not care about anything. Just completing highschool and getting a job that i liked sounded ideal to me..... right??? Well school ended and i got a job and i was pretty happy.. but a thought entered my head.. that thought was.... "Do i want to work here forever"? With a lot of help from someone special, I had to apply myself to better myself and wow what a struggle that was.. Who ever invented graduation exams SUCKS!!!! Gladly talking in past tense, i did not pass my history section of my graduation exam.. and i tired time after time and couldnt do it.. Honestly i was lazy and i did not care. But with a little encouragement and quitting my job; I studied all summer long and passed that things, and got into jeffstate.. now, Jeffstate doesnt sound like a huge school for some, but wow what an accomplishment it was for me. I knew that someone bigger than me wanted me to try hard, because my future depended on it! So as i stand, i have a full time job, im in school, and im broke..... BUT most of all, im happy!

JE, oh how I feel for ya. I grimace just thinking about my poor college days. I too, worked full time during the day and took night classes. It was the last thing I wanted to do at that age...act all responsible, working and paying my way through college. Meanwhile, my friends were living it up on campus and driving home on weekends in their brand new cars their parents bought them. Well long story short, God is teaching you things they don't teach in college. Soon you will find your independence, accountability, work ethic, and integrity are traits you'll take great pride in, and rightfully so. So, keep up the hard work and keep blogging. Us old folks (pushing 40) have to live through you young whipper-snappers. PS. I like double names too.
I ate Ramen noodles and
"Nu-Times" hot dogs, which were 3 for a dollar with student ID, approximately 3 to 4 times a week. All this just so I could have money to go to Brother's on!
Bad thing is, I never graduated.
:-(
Don't be another Webb college dropout casualty! GET A DIPLOMA! Do the WEBB name proud!
O well, guess I will major in portable buildings, mobile homes and gravel lots for now.
Oh, and Anne Marie, speak for yourself, I AINT OLD!
And call me James Jason from now on, I wanna double name.
add me to the list of "webb college drop outs" :)
