Candace/Candy
Move In Day
It's a beautiful autumn day and I am earnestly working to unpack the tower of boxes that fill my new furnished condo. The cool breeze from my living room window blows the curtain and sends all of my work papers flying across the room. I rushed over to gather my papers and begin to smile as I began to focus on my new job as Lead Crisis Counselor at the Wellness Crisis Center on the Northwest side of Chicago. Whoever thought that after two weeks from graduating MSU, I would have landed my dream job. I was so excited my senior year, when I was offered a paid Internship at The Wellness Crisis Center. And for an entire year, I worked hard to ensure that I would be able to return after graduation. As my phone began to ring, I snapped back to reality as I knew immediately by the ringtone that mom was checking up on how things were going.
"Candy, why haven't you called me today?"
I completely forgot to give her a call and let her know that I had made it safely to my new home, and by her using my official name instead of Candace, I know I'm in trouble.
"Mom, I'm so sorry that I didn't call you as promised, but I've been so busy trying to get settled." I could hear mom sighing on the other side of the call. I start my new job tomorrow, and I really wanted to get some of my boxes unpacked before then."
After a long pause, Mom responded that her Dad is just worried about me.
"After all, we were very hesitant about you moving out on your own, but you were so persistent. We just want the best for you."
