I am the one on the left, and the beautiful girl to my right is my wife of 11 months. We wanted to get married sooner, but we met right as I was leaving for the Air Force. She was a full time student in college, so getting married was not an option. I have been out of the military for two years now (maybe ill have some stories later on), and am loving every bit of it.
The hard thing is trying to get my life, and most importantly “our” life together. She is on a successfull track in the clothing industry with O’Neill clothing (good use of her major in business-econ huh), but since I have been out things havent been so easy.
My friend of 19 years said it best, “Justin, you are a man of many hats”. Yes, my life in general I have worn many hats. Do I have a disorder? Am I lost in life? These are things that I have been trying to figure out.
One mistake that I made in life was dropping out of college. My reasons are not important at the moment, but we will get into that later on as well. Most recently i have decided to go back to college and try pursuing a degree in Computer Information Systems. Most people would see this as an ambitious dream for someone who has worked in the food industry for the past 9 years, but those that really know me know that i probably know more about computers than the majority of the people that know me or know of me.
Having not been in school for eight years, started to take one class at a time while working full time as a purchasing manager for a local college. With the help of my wife, I recieved two B’s out of two classes. Not bad huh? Well, this is the start of a new life for me, because due to the downfall of the economy lately, i have decided to stop working “temporarily” and go to school full time.
The college that I am attending is in the middle of the summer session, so have to weight 5 more weeks until the fall quarter starts. Until than, my wife suggested that i do Real Estate School to keep my mind going, and be productive so that i do not fall back into old habbits.
I have done a lot of research for real estate schools, and after a few weeks of searching, http://www.realestatelicense.com/ seemed to be the best choice and had the best reviews. I forked over the money yesterday, and now am waiting for my books to arrive, hopefully tomorow.
In this blog, i will be doing my best to stay up to date with what is going on with my road to success and hopefully no more hats will be needed. By the way, my wife says that i do not look good in hats, so i need to hurry it up huh?
Also, i promise that this will be my longest post. I love being picked on, and criticism, so go ahead and make some comments on my grammar and writing skills.
With Regards,
Justin
