Today I was given a surprise job interview for the position of loss prevention. AKA the civilian watching you steal and busting you for it.
I had somehow forgotten for the moment that I am leaving soon for grad school. Then my interviewer remembered and asked. Her face fell a little but she went ahead with the interview as practice for me. I did exceptionally well if I say so myself. With zero preparation and on the spur of the moment I gave much better answers than I had for the interview that landed me my current job.After the mock interview she told me in her opinion I could come back to work at this store whenever I wanted. My third anniversary is this August. She said she’ll miss me.
Throughout the day I was bombarded with my coworkers asking if it was true that I am leaving. It’s sinking in bit by bit. Soon this old life will be stripped away and I’ll be left raw. No more will this be my home. I’m stepping ahead on my own two feet to waters uncharted by my family. It’s so painful that somedays I can’t even breathe. I don’t know yet what I’ll miss. What little detail will break my heart.

Wow what a honnor,but yes its very scary. And I am scared for you. I have no magical advice or magical beans to give you except for this I love you dearly and I believe you can be anything you want to be. You are a remarkable young woman and have the will power and spirt to fight for what your heart wants. I am scared though for this economy is getting rid of teachers and other positions so I am scared you will have a hard time finding work.
