I have never really ever been good ay anything. Was never smart, athletically inclined, rich, etc.
I joined the Army 18, was sent overseas where my superiors mentally and physically abused me. I reported this and all I was told to 'suck it up' . I deployed overseas, came back and got a job as a Police Officer. Sound good right?
Think again, I wasn't really good as a Police Officer and was threatened to be fired nearly everyday. My girlfriend found out I cheated on her, accused me of physical abuse. I lose my Police Officer job and can never re-gain employment as a Police, Law Enforcement or any other job like that ever again. I tried to get into corrections, but again can't have a job like this because of my employment history.
So now I sit in my apartment, living on my life savings, abusing RX drugs and getting fat. I could go to college on the GI bill, but it won't pay for everything and I'll just end up working in a factory. | |
I don't agree. I bet there are plenty of things that you do well. Working as a police officer, well, it's just one career path. There are plenty of others with a whole hell of alot less responsibility and stress! Frankly, I don't know how one can be so perfect all the time. But please don't give up. You do have the power to change. And you do have the power to do anything you put your mind to. Hell, if you can deal with being in the military, then I would guess you have the strength to get through just about anything! My advice is to take advantage of that GI bill and go for it- Go to school, get a skill, and make it happen. There are plenty of other things that could be dragging you down like health issues, money issues, kids, spouses, X's, family, ect... Thank your lucky stars that you don't have it worse! Get out of that apartment, take a walk, and really think about what you can do to make things better for yourself.
Focus, plan, intiate- you can do it!
