Have you ever asked yourself the question “How in the hell did I end up where I am today?” I constantly ask myself that. Some may have to ponder this for a while, but I can tell you step by step how it happened. That is a long story so we will just leave it by saying ….with ALOT of help.

As an adult now I always look back at my life and compare it to window shopping. I always saw things that others had, noticed that I was different. I didn’t have name brand clothes, shoes or anything of the materialistic items really. I always thought to myself “man it would sure be nice to have that though.” I always window shopped through an imaginary window. It was a window that was always present it seemed. I would see things differently, and not just material things. Things in life.

I knew from a young age that I wanted to be different than my family, and how things had been for so long. I wanted a better life. I told myself this repeatedly. I did just that too. I am the second oldest of seven. Growing up fast was a way of life not just an option. I was the first to graduate high school, the first to go to college, and the first to graduate college. I now have a Bachelors degree in physical education, Health, and certification kindergarten through twelfth grade. It wasn’t an easy road, but I made it.

Since graduation I have moved to South Korea to teach English for a year.  I have been here nearly five months, and I’m still in love with the place. I would have to say I have an overwhelming feeling of being carefree. This is the first time in a long time I have been able to feel this way. I am doing me. Korea is different in so many ways. Nothing feels rushed, I am able to do things on my own terms, and you can travel from one end to the other in the matter of hours. I didn’t do much research before coming to Korea so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I didn’t really have any biased opinions, and can say I still don’t.The people are great, the food is delicious, and the drinking has no boundaries. If you get the chance you should really come visit. After all you a Visa isn’t necessary.

I created this blog to share my story. It won’t all be in order, but I think you will catch on. My brain never shuts down so I figured I would do something with all the thoughts I have.

Before I wrap up this quick blog I would like to say. DO YOU. WORRY ABOUT YOU. IN THE END IT’S YOUR LIFE, YOUR STORY, AND YOUR HAPPINESS. CHEERS.
