Jane
This is the year of the
Monkey.
2004, baby. This is my year. My name is Jane Ohl. For the last
three
years I have been doing "catch up"! I have no one to blame but
myself.
In less than 6 months all my hard work will have paid off; but I'm not
stopping
there. I was blessed being the only one out of my family to leave the
poverty-lifestyle
I was accustomed to in the Philippines; but growing up, I took
everything
for granted. So by the time I was 17 years old I was married and
pregnant
with my first child. Everything that I have faced and conquered since
then
I owe to God; and I am now grateful. I stopped following my
footsteps
and started following his. I realized the choices I made not only hurt
me
but my children too.
So, in the last three years I have been putting all
my
focus on my two children, and because of them I finally grew up. Their
father
was the number one negative factor in our lives, and I knew I had to
leave.
When I finally made that decision to do it on my own I never looked
back.
I attend school three nights a week, and I have two jobs so I barely
get
to spend time with my children. On May 13th 2004 I will be walking off
the
stage with an Associates Degree! I feel so much closer to that
Bachelor's
Degree, and I get excited just thinking about it! I haven't even
graduated
yet, and I have already accomplished my goal of getting a job in my
field:
an air personality for a radio station in Fayetteville, NC.
Obviously,
I am not making the money I know I should be making, or I wouldn't tell
you
about my second job. I have been a waitress at a local restaurant since
they
opened three years ago. This may be hard to believe, but I make
more
money as a waitress than I do as a deejay.
My real goal is to become a freelance journalist. I
know
if I keep working hard and pushing myself I'll get there. I have
already
gotten this far. I'm definitely not quitting now! I owe everything that
I
have become to my two beautiful children. They are my spirit and
my
drive for success and they are definitely my motivation! I'm
looking
forward for the future because I know it can only get better.
