Forging Ahead

"The night is darkest before the dawn." - The Dark Knight

I quit my part time job at Old Navy. I held it for a whole year until I just went completely insane. Lately, I have been feeling like an absolute failure. I have two degrees that I can't pay on right now and I hardly use them. I've applied to teaching jobs and have failed to get an interview. I was working part time at a job that had nothing to do with any goal or passion of mine. I never can afford anything on my own and even though Jordan is there to help me, I crave the ability to be able to just do my own thing.

With all of that running through my brain on repeat I just absolutely lost it. Cried and cried and just let it all out. The very next day, I quit my job at Old Navy and immediately started applying to jobs that involved passions of mine. I have two passions. Fitness and mentoring youth. I've applied to several jobs. Heard back on a couple but they just are't hiring. Ugh...then opportunity knocked on my door and I invited that bitch in, sat her down, and am ready to wait on her hand and foot!

Alright, that metaphor made NO sense...yeah no sense at all...lol.

The crossfit gym that I am apart of had a recent change-up of sorts. Trainers have left and that opened the door for me to come in, hopefully make a positive change, and earn experience running and programming crossfit for people of all ages. As of right now I am interning. Since I do not have a Level 1 certification to train people, I will be helping with a certified trainer to run boot camps, regular classes, nutritional seminars, and updating our blog. Hopefully in October I can go and actually get my certification. The only hiccup there is that my husband isn't sure its worth it....ugh...so that's a challenge.

Now check this out, if I get my Level 1 cert, the gym will pay for me to get a CrossFit Kids certification. That means we can open up our gym and reach out to the youth! Look at that. I would be killing two birds with one stone!!! Mentoring kids AND fitness!!!

That's where I stand right now. I'm about to be apart of something I have always wanted to do. When my time is done here, and Jordan and I move somewhere else, I can sign up with a gym and get to crackin on gaining even MORE experience!!!

Just saying, all this really excites me. I love CrossFit and I'm so grateful for this opportunity. If Jordan says, "Yes," for me to get my certification then I will be the happiest person in the world!!!
