1 month ago today March 27th, 2010 I left Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Clothing items packed in 2 totes in the back of a mini-van with Kimberly and her boys we left headed for our 22 hour drive to Utah. They were going there for vacation, but I had decided to move there to pursue a job that would not only benefit me with a paycheck but also with special training. I didn't know what to expect and was nervous but I knew that god and heavenly father would direct me to make the right decision and that they would not lead me astray. They knew the plan that they had put in front of me so that I could get the opportunity to make myself better so i could positively serve other people, and that moving away and starting over would help to make me a stronger and more confident person.
During the week when Kimberly and her kids were here we had so much fun, I was excited about living in Utah but wondered what it would be like when Kimberly left, I wouldn't be able to see her everyday or communicate with her, but I know how much she loves me and cares about me and how much she wants to see me succeed and to find something that makes me successful and also happy. I respect her with everything that I have, I am so thankful for the opportunity that she put in front of me for the opportunity to be able to move and for the blessings that she has given to me. After Kimberly left I was sad but I knew that things would get better and that I needed to have a positive attitude or that I wouldn't be that successful. I heard when I went to meet with someone at the DI (Desert Industries) that there was a Career Workshop Class and decided to take that to get a head start so that when I got working at the DI I wouldn't have to worry about taking it. After taking the class and learning different things about resumes, interviews and other things I decided to write a thank you letter to the person that I had met with at the Di. Right before I had sent it his manager had come up to him and let him know that he was interested in hiring someone. He checked his e-mail received my email and decided to hire me. He was very grateful to me for the thank you letter and said that I was only 1 of 2 in the 16 years that he's worked there for someone to send him a thank you letter.
I have now been working at the DI for 3 weeks tomorrow. Working there has taught me not only how to reliable, dependable, but also how to work well with others. It's wonderful getting some of the comments that I get from my co-workers that I'm a very hard worker and that I'm a key player in order for our area to be successful.
