hi. i am working and also taking full time college courses online.

here are some things about me: i also thought i would quit any job i got after a short period of time because that's what i did when i was younger. but things are different now for me and i am much older and more responsible and i have been in the same job for almost 2 years now, and was even promoted.

i also thought i couldnt take more than 2 classes a semester without failing them but i have proved myself wrong again by taking 4 this semester and currently i have A's in all of them. i struggled so much in my early 20s with taking classes and dropping out halfway into the semester. i must have done that 5 or 6 times honestly. but, like i said, i am older now and more responsible and also relatively stable.. so i am able to do more.

there are lots of things i tell myself that i cant do because of this or that but then when i do them i realize i have been wrong about my abilities.

ticket to work is a great program. i dont want to be on disability for the rest of my life. i want to be independent and financially secure in the future. im hoping once i can get certified in medical coding and pass the national exam and find a job in that field, i can get off disability and support myself.

in the end, its up to you , newtus , what it is you want for your life and then taking action to create those things for yourself. it's not gonna come to you... you have to go out there and earn it.
