I got a raise at work and it was super exciting. I am so proud of how far I’ve come in such a short amount of time. This job has taught me so much and I’m super grateful and happy to be making my own money. Hard work really pays off and I’m proud of the fact that I already got a raise. Balancing work and school isn’t always easy but I manage quite well and I’ve never felt so motivated and proud of myself in my life. Maintaining a steady job and good grades is definitely not for the weak but I’m proud of how I’m handling it. My parents are so proud of me they won’t stop telling me which makes me feel good and makes me feel like I’m doing something right. The path I’m going down right now feels right.
