I want to be successful, I want financial freedom and stability. Without the stress of money and bills, I will be better off; I will be happier. I have a goal of having my own house. I want to own multiple fast cars, as I love racing. I dream of having a son, someone I can take care of and thrive through life with. However, marriage is not something I see in my future.

I must continue to work as hard as I can to obtain these dreams. I am starting where I can. Currently, I am in the AAP and work at Walmart, doing the online grocery orders. Starting this job was a change for me, as I used to work in construction. I met a lot of people who struggled in their day-to-day life. That, in itself, motivates me. I do not want to end up in their shoes.

Though I work hard, it is not always smooth sailing. When I am down, I rely on my friends. I have a strong support system. Though I also heavily rely on myself, to make sure I get back up on my two feet. If you are okay with being on your own, you will be even stronger in the relationships around you.

On the days where everything is okay, where I had a good day at work, at school; that is what makes me happiest.
