Isn't that a beautiful choice that we have, Vaya?!
My 22 year old's life has a lot of drama in it, due to the choices she makes, and the company she keeps.
In spite of that, we do have a good relationship. I don't get caught up in the chaos.
She's been struggling with her job lately, and she does have valid complaints, that I will give her.
However, in this current economy, it behooves a person to have another job lined up before quitting the prior one. It took her several months to find this one.
She walked out of the job this morning.
She had dropped her two dogs off before work this morning as usual.
She came back by to let me know she had quit, and was going to leave the girls here a few more hours.
She commented on an ad in the local newspaper for part-time office help in a city 35 miles from here, and said she didn't even have her GED yet, and sighed.
I said nothing. This is the consequence of her past choices.
She had 1 1/2 credits left to complete for her high school degree after the rest of her class graduated, and she has chosen to stick her head in the sand for 3 years on that. She didn't graduate because she was just flat out lazy on her school work, end of story.
She told me more than once after she turned out that education just isn't her thing.
She's finding out how far a limited education will get you.
Experience
is the best teacher.
