Whenever I sit home alone, I think about what I want to do with my life, and how working at footlocker is going to help me in the future. I work at Footlocker and I LOVE working there. I find it very hard to balance my school life and my work life sometimes. I love working at Footlocker because it gives me a chance to meet new people, connect with people, and help people. This is essentially what I want to do for my career- which is HR management. When I asked my cousin’s whether or not I should stay at Footlocker, she told me yes. She said this is a great way to start my career, even though it’s not what I want to do. Starting at the bottom and working your way to the top is something that everyone should do. And working at Footlocker is a great way to start. Nobody ever starts at the top right away.
On the days that I do have work, I will always be in a rush. Right after school, I go straight to work, and I have to eat on the train ride. After work, I go straight home and I eat and then I shower and then I do my homework. I can probably finish this around 11-12. To balance things out, sometimes I would do my homework on the days before, or I do my homework on the weekends, even though they’re due a week later.

I remember the last day I saw my ex-boyfriend. It was the last day of high school. I was dying to leave him. I was with him for 4 years, and throughout that 4 years, it was hell. My boyfriend’s name is high school. I hated high school because he was an awful person, but just little moments just made up for the reason why I also love high school. High School gave me some memories that I would never forget. He was the one that allowed me and my best friends to connect with one another. However, I hated high school. The teachers that high school introduced me to were like people from hell. They were never understanding, expected too much, and wanted too much. But finally, on the last day of high school, I told highschool that I’ve had enough and that it was time to move on to better people and better things.

Fast forwarding to August 28, it was where i met my current boyfriend, Baruch College. Baruch College was something else. Baruch College helped me think more and become more independent. I remember when I used to copy homework everyday when I was with Highschool, but now I learned to know more than that. Baruch College helped me realize that even homework that you don’t want to do, there is always a lesson behind it, and always a new thing to learn from it. Baruch College also taught me personal responsibility. I remember when I was with highschool I would always go to class late, and it’s okay because i can always make up a class. But when I’m with Baruch College, it’s different. But a good kind of different. Baruch College not only made me realize that everything comes with a consequence. You could wake up late- but is that worth missing half the class and get a bad grade? I love Baruch College, he is my everything. He’s made me become a better person as a whole and helped me improve myself without making it sound condescending. However, there are times when I think about high school, like how he would get me free MetroCard, and free food. Here, Baruch College doesn’t give me shit. He gives me nothing. But this helps me know that nothing is free, and if you want it- you have to earn it.
