Week 10 at Telo + Looking at How Far I've Come

I’m writing this as I overlook the ocean from my hotel room’s balcony. I can hear the gentle lapping and the less-gentle crashing of the waves as they hit either sand or rocks. There’s a soft, warm breeze that keeps me comfortable as the sun sets behind me. Condensation from my water glass is dripping through the table onto my foot (are you getting the picture I’m trying to paint?). I feel like I’m living the dream.

Honestly, it’s moments like these that make me stop and appreciate what I’ve done and how far I’ve come at the ripe old age of 19.

I’m the self-published author of four books.

I’m a certified tennis instructor.

I got into a career development program with a less-than 15% acceptance rate.

I managed to land a part-time marketing job with little prior experience and was offered a full-time job after only two months.

I’ve travelled (quite cheaply) to two different conferences and made some amazing and hopefully life-long friends.

At one of these conferences, a new Praxian actually knew who I was before I fully introduced myself. (If you’re reading this, that was probably one of the most flattering moments of my life so far)

There’s tons more, but those are the highlights that come to mind. All that hard work has really paid off, but of course it can never stop.

I also realize that none of it would be possible without those who’ve helped me. If you’re reading this and have helped me in any way, from a piece of advice, to a job, to financial or moral support, or anything else, I want to thank you.

This past week at Telo I finished my working my second part-time job, so my schedule is more open now for my marketing work.

I got on the phone a few days with my marketing co-worker to review some information we needed brushing up on.

It was a fairly slow week for me, at least. I spent most of my time just looking over documents and trying to prepare myself for this coming week.

I expect this week in Puerto Rico will be much more eventful. I’m going to do a better job documenting what happens. I’m hoping to learn a lot in a short amount of time.
