Reassurance

It still amazes me that I have done as well for myself career wise. While in college I slacked off and did not apply myself as I could and should. I did just enough to get by. There are many reasons why I felt this way, but no excuses for it.

When all my classmates, peers and I were job hunting and trying to find that job that we all wanted, I knew I might not have as much luck as others due to my GPA, but that was my fault and I knew it. I learned a valuable lesson that last semester, your GPA only helps you so much. Experience is the key to success. I was surprised as to how many jobs I was offered compared to some of my peers who had a highter GPA, but no work experience. I take pride in my work and work hard at it. As you know, I have a new position and couldn't be happier about it. I am working toward the "dream" job I want. Today, my team lead sent an email out that I was very flattered by.

"I just wanted to comment on the Leah’s performance on Homegate. She has joined our team and is taking the reigns very quickly. Thanks, Leah! You are doing a great job!"

I admit I was a tad anxious about starting it, afraid I would not do a good job since I have been in development for 2 years now. I feared that I would let people down and not do a good job. It is a relieve to know that I am doing a good job and I know how to do it.

This is honestly what I needed today. I have been feeling a little, well not sure what to use, worthless I guess in life lately. I need to put more faith in God and let Him control my life.
