Adios BOA!

September 11th, 2007...Ironically, the day I have been waiting for since 1/3/06...my last day working for Bank of America. Wish I could say I was sad, wish I could say I shed a tear, wish I could say that I will look back nostalgically...

But I wont. No looking back, only forward. No regrets, only new expectations and goals.

On a day to day basis, life as a teller wasnt challenging at all. At times I found myself doing multiple activities at once to prevent myself from going completely crazy. Nevertheless, I learned so much about people (heck, I came across 250-300 almost daily!). I learned that everything isnt always as it appears and what may be true on the surface may not be the truth to the core. I learned that everyone who wants to be your friend doesnt necessarily want to be your friend. I learned that a little hug goes a long way. I learned patience and humbleness. And the most important lesson that I ever learned in the year, 8 mo., 8 days, 1 hour and 33 minutes I was there was taught in the bathroom at Bank of America. I learned to let go. For the very first time, I completely, absolutely and wholeheartedly let go of all my worries and let God handle it. At that moment I felt more in control than I ever had.

So you see, while im happy to finally be out of that dead-end situation, I appreciate each and every lesson learned and each and every person who taught me the lesson. So to all my readers, if you're holding on to something you just cant solve, let it go. Give it to someone who is more equipped with handling your situation...you know who i'm talking about!


Adios BOA, its been real...now gimme my last check!


XOXO,
