debt free
I am so glad I made the decision to come to college. I have lived all over the country and have tried out many different things to interest myself. I've worked as a farmer, a woodworker, a chef, and so many other failed attempts as rewarding careers. After all of those careers I have managed to secure for myself a sizable debt. That is one of the driving factors, including my love of poetry, for coming to college and study English. The decision was more about my love of words than the money, but the ever-growing pressure for debt consolidation and a way out of it all, drove me straight back to school where I belong. I remember when I was working as a farmer and I would spend all of my time with the other guys picking or on the tractor by myself. The plots we were working were quite large and the volume of work so large, we didn't have much time for talking. I remember one day towards the end of the season, I thought about how little I had talked over the past year, and how much I had read. All of my creative ideas that I lifted from the texts I loved so much, were becoming stagnant. This was my last job before I came to college and I had loved it more than other job I'd had before. If I could be a small farmer and publish my writing, I would. Unfortunately I was so uninformed on debt consolidation that I was becoming closer and closer to broke every month. So I had to make the choice and now I am here. I have always been a sucker for hard labor and getting my hands dirty with work, so school is a big change for me. I work as a cook right now, but it is nothing compared to amateur chef in New York style of work. Though I am starting to like the feeling of coming home from work or school and not being totally exhausted. After only one semester I know that I made the best possible decision from what I was given at the time. I need to be debt free.
