What's your definition of success? I've been asking that question alot here lately and have yet to answer myself. Success is what you make of it and not the same for everyone. I often people watch and it's amazing to just watch people interact with one another. I'm curious to what drives people and why some people don't have any ambition.
While I was in high school I never thought about the "real-world". For some unknown reason I didn't see life after high-school. My mom was sick almost my entire senior year of high-school and I almost didn't graduate, but I did. She died the following December from cancer and my world was flipped upside down.
Within the next year and a half I had managed to fall in love with the town drunk, get my heart broke by the town drunk, and then knocked up by someone other than the town drunk. Well needless to say I don't think my mother approved of where my life was going, so she decided it was time to point that out to God.
When my daughter was born my life changed forever and put me on the right path. I went to community college and got my two-year degree, then to a full-time job in addition to finishing my four year degree, and now I'm working on my graduate degree. The harsh reality is that I'm the only one that is going to take care of me and my daughter. If I plan on taking care of her and eventually living with a herd of cats when I get older then I need a good education to get me there.
