A day that was memorable to me in my life was the day I came to Job Corps. Before job corps, I was working with a contractor named Dale Biship. It was an under-the-table job, but it did help in some cases. I had about three to four jobs. One was with Dale working on houses/apartments and churches. Another job I was doing was being a landscaper hired by Dale and worked from his neighbors and friends. The last job I was doing was working for a daycare as a janitor. With all the jobs I was doing I still needed more money. Why? Because they all were under the table jobs. With all the jobs I had I still felt as though I wasn’t making enough money to get anywhere in life. I mean like buying a house of a car or anything for that matter except food

I felt as though I was a man, and men don’t live with their girlfriend and their parents. I felt lower and lower until I talked to Kiah’s mom. While I was talking to her mom I asked her what should I do, I mean like how should go about this, and what do I do from here like I was stuck in between a rock in a hard place. She told me to go to job corps and do what I have to do there and then she told me that it might be a good thing that I came to her because she works for job corps and that I need to go talk to her husband. She called hem down stairs and she left the room. When he came down stairs I told him about the situation and he laughed at me. I had to ask him why he was laughing and he replied that he was waiting for me to come to him about my situation and for my future. All throughout the conversation we had he kelp telling me that it was a good idea to go to job corps and do what I had to do to succeed and that he knew that I was a good kid and that he could see me doing something good with my life and future and that he would be proud of …show more content…
Just thinking about what to do and how I was going to go about it. For hours I sat there thinking about what to do next. Should I go to job corps or should I stay and try to make a living doing what I was doing but trying harder. Hours and hours pasted until about 12:00am when Kiah woke up. When Kiah woke up she notices that something was wrong with me and that she wanted to know what. At first I didn’t what to tell her and that nothing was wrong but she knew so I told her….everything that was on my mind. When I was finished we were both crying and sad. We knew that something like this was going to happen but we didn’t know when. When we were done with the crying and being sad, she was very upset. She wanted to fight. Not because I was planning on leaving but because I didn’t come to her first and tell her the situation that was going on in my head. But other than that she was a little happy, I think. She said to go and do it, get my diploma and do whatever I had to do to make sure that we and our kids were good in the future. So after she gave me the go, I was on it like white on rice.
Went to all the interviews, filled out all the paper work that needed to be filled out and did everything I needed to get do for my trip. The first day I found out that I got in she found first and she was so happy she was mad. I don’t know how you can be happy and mad at the same time but yeah she was. And so she wanted
