I'll tell you a little about what I've lived so far...
My name is Annie and I am 25 years old recently, although you can probably tell me that I look much less (I mean it, much less). Writing about me is a bit difficult but I will try to do the best I can, and I think that my life has been quite moved so far ... Moved? When I define it that way, I refer to the fact that without lying or exaggerating, every year I propose to do a different activity, and for you to understand me I will give you a short summary.
Returning to the past, my life at 16, already almost graduated from high school, a transition between school and the beginning of the university. The desicion that until now I consider has been the most difficult and important that I have had to take in my life; just at that moment in which I consider I was still quite immature and had no idea what I wanted for myself, for my future, for the rest of my life. What career study, which suited me, which was the one I liked the most ?, the one I would exercise for the rest of my life if I decided so...
Pausing this writing for just a moment and focusing on the above, at 15, 16 or 17 years is not prepared for this. I see it like that, it happened to me. However, I tried to analyze at my young age and with what little I had lived until that moment what I wanted to be. I only had to experiment, everyone touches us and if you make mistakes nothing happens, the important thing is to be determined and risky. I had two quite different options, studying dentistry or graphic design. Dentistry not by passion or much less interest, it just seemed like a beautiful and important profession. Of course he did not have the slightest idea what it was and much less, the sacrifices that deserve to be studied; that if we think about it, all the races are like that, full of challenges and sacrifices, the difference is in the interest you put in it, right there things change.
The interest in design at that time was more out of curiosity, with the only difference being that he had clearer ideas about this profession. I liked it, but I saw it more as a hobby. Well, it was time to decide and guess ... I enrolled in dentistry, in the important university of Zulia; from which there is no trace of what it was. Being honest, this race at the beginning was a total headache for me, this was not my thing. This is the part of my life that I do not like, I feel like I lost a lot of time in bad decisions made. However I decided to finish it even though I swear it has become eternal.
To compensate for not being happy with my decisions, I wanted to become independent and look for work, I did not want to have to depend on my parents and so I gave them a break. I looked for work with only 17 years old, I learned what saving was and I became more conscious and independent. You can not imagine the amount of jobs I've had, I worked in clothing stores, shoes, ice cream shops, cinemas, even in a sale of car parts. I had no problem with that, I was not ashamed and I did not care what people thought of me, because I have always been very responsible and honest in what I do.
And so the time went by until I got tired of working for others, of having a toxic boss and settling for a salary that reached me for very little. I, along with my desire to do something great, created my own project, a trial which I baptized as a supernova; This was me, this is all I am.
It is not that I became rich, but I have put a lot of effort to see this initiative grow in which I believed from day one. Supernova is a clothing store for girls with a free style, fun and without limits. It has cost me a lot but the journey has been great, I have learned, I have been successful, I have failed but the experience has been enriching in every way. I got what I wanted, I took another step and now I just had to fill a corner of my being that I had neglected for a while, I studied fashion design and just after finishing that preparation I enrolled in graphic design. They do not know how I love this career, I feel complete, I feel that I can be myself and that now I am doing what I love. I'm just starting this race but my desire to learn more about it has led me to know much more ahead of time. I also did a barista course, because of my passion for coffee, its origin and preparation ... But in another post I will talk about my experience as a Barista. I think this will be the year of coffee for me, that's what I said today.
I am currently finishing dentistry, I changed my way of thinking about this career and I like it much more, the satisfaction that leaving you to help others made me more human. I love what I do and what I am, I learned from my mistakes and corrected them in time. And I do have 25 years of moments lived to the fullest, of experiences that would never change. Life is today, encourage yourself to explore it, to believe in yourself, to know what makes you happy, what you are and what you are willing to be.
Annie,
This is me.
