New Year thoughts

First, I wanna start by saying that 2012 was a wonderful year for me! It was my lucky year in fact, because I'm born on November 26 and I had 26 years old. I had my first police job and now It's been 7 months and I love it! I am mostly a humble person, but I must say that this year's been incredibly good for new experiences, and becoming a better person. It was difficult sometimes, but I kept on going with a positive attitude. I have been ending the year of 2012 reading more. I used to read a lot, write a lot. Most of my teachers, said that I had a talent for tellin' stories. I haven't really explored those tools since then. That's why this year, for 2013, (It has been on my mind since a couple years) I would like, and I'm going to write a book about my teenage, about being a dropout. I was tellin' myself before not to do it. I thought that, people would judge me about being a cop and tell stories that I've been involved with sometimes drugs, alcohol, bad relationships (friendship and love) in general and also trouble with the law. Fortunately, I don't have a record and I had the opportunity to do this job and be successful. I was close to it for a moment. I had friends who ended with DUI and going to jail. I figured that I didn't want that in my life and wanted to make a change. I did grade 9-10 and 11 of High School in 9 months at an Education center for adults (St-François Xavier) While doing my grade 11, I applied to College for police foundation. I had an average of 94% in French that year in 2006. I started school on august 28 2006 and I did my last exam on May 31st 2007. I was 20 yrs old. I quit High School at the age of 17 with a lack of motivation . I have worked for minimum wage from 17 to 21. I wanted to be a cop, or military. I ended up doing both! I am very greatful for that. I have put all the efforts I could. Physically and mentally. So I think that's pretty much a short resume of my path! I know I started to talk about my childhood and my teenage years in the last blog. I will continue that! Don't worry. Thanks for reading and a happy New year to y'all !

    That's so true. People do that ALL the time for no benefit. I used to doubt that I could develop software or learn hiphop or take an acting class. Although it's terrifying, the confidence and happiness that comes from taking risks is incredible!

    You're going to have another amazing year! Thank you for sharing and I look forward to hearing more.

  2. Yeah the only obstacles in life are your own fears. It's when you realized that You've done it the feeling is liberating isn't?
