Im writing this to get alot of stuff off my mind. Recently i graduated from high school, and moved on to a skilled trade in hvac. Ive also graduated from that, but the only reason i got into it was because i was told i would forsure get a job when i graduated. Every teen dosent want to live in there parents or grandmas, and grandpas house for there whole life. To experience new things is every teen my ages dream. Even thought i have turned my life around alot from when i was in high school i feel like i should be working, and supporting my own self. Althought i went from doing drugs being in a gang, and doing alot of horrible things in my life to quitting everything bad i was doing to join school. I still feel like getting my diploma on time, and certificates in hvac isnt enough. It feels like a big weight on my shoulders and i envy it. Every day i wonder will i ever make it in life, and make money on my own without working a minimum wage job. Will i ever get out of this shit city of Chicago. Of course all of this haunts me every day, but i still apply for jobs everyday. I still work at it everyday because i got my self into this, and i will get out of it the good way.
