**Cheese warning: This entry is going to be quite cheesy.**

They say that life is nothing more than a plethora of chapters in a book. With each new major event, or life changing event in life you write a new chapter in your book. I agree with this philosophy however, I believe that at a certain point in life you actually write the last chapter of one book, and begin writing an entirely new book.

I’m pleased to say that I have finished the first book of my life and am about to begin writing the second book.

I began sometime ago seeking out a career move that will put me in a better position to achieve my overall professional and personal ambitions. Consequently, I found an organization that was looking for someone to fill a position that would do just that. Long story short, I interviewed, was offered and accepted the position. Yesterday, I notified my current employer of my resignation, effective at the end of the business day on September 5th 2008, and will begin my newest career on September 8th. Through my new employer I’ll be working in the overnight hours (5pm to 1:30am) which will free up my day time hours to pursue the formation of No Motives, the non-profit organization that I am founding and have had to put on the back burner since I made the announcement that I am founding it. It will also allow me to continue my education so that I can work towards my eventual career goal of being a teacher. In addition to both those, this new position offers me the flexibility to do more freelance journalism, work on more political campaigns, substitute teach, pursue my voice over/voice acting hobby as well as my interest in audio broadcasting. The position offers incredible benefits and a pay that is equal to, if not slightly greater than what I am making right now.

I call this my opportunity of a lifetime.

I think it is important while you’re young to have the ability to figure out what it is you want to do with your life. I have been trying for quite some time to figure that out. Most folks my age do that while they’re in college. The only problem with that for me, is that without some sort of assistance, I can not attend college. (Consequently my new employer offers a very generous tuition reimbursement benefit) I truly believe that I am in the beginning stages of the latest book of my life. Out of this opportunity I am convinced that several other life altering (changing) events will happen as well.

I look forward to writing the future chapters of my latest “life book” with you in the coming years.
