Do you think things will really work themselves out? - Page 3

i work as an assistant in an office and i just got an opportunity that i dont know if i should take... well never mind i already said yes but im still scared.... i was offered another job doing the same thing i do but somewhere else but the thing is that they are offering me a little bit less money than what i make but is also less time and the person told me that he will gradually increase my salary once i pretty much show him how i work... i dont know what to do.. i really dont.. im confused..

Well your current boss sounds like a big jerk so you have to take risks. I think it sounds good and you should do it. I was scared about switching jobs because jobs are not easy to find especially because of our status but I found that it is by far the best job I've ever had. It is laid back, my bosses are sweethearts, and they allow me to do my homework. They even tell me to do my work after I am done with my homework. However, I don't I drop everything because I am at work but still that is no nice!

yeah im going to go ahead and take it... you have to take chances sometimes right? and i got a good feeling that eventually in a short time i will be making the same or more money than my old job... if is not too much to ask, what type of business or job do you do?

Very nice. Do your bosses know about your status?

Yes. My boss doesn't care you see he was in the same situation, he use to work at a fast food restaurant and now he is a multi million dollar business man. So he sees beyond my status.

yeah my boss doesnt care either, he is interested in my knowledge and what i do... im interested in finding school aid.. stars, do you have any info about financial aid? they are cutting my check short just a bit so i need to look into that...

What state are you in?

i live in Texas

Houston,Texas

Well i just wanted to tell folks that sometimes being undocumented is not that bad, well it is but sometime you can take some good things from it. for example when i was in high school i used to be a slacker... i was the ghetto pretty boy kid that only cared about Jordan’s an air forces... however when i hit college "community college" after working for a semester a full time job i decided i need it school... at first i thought i need it for the attention and to stay in touch with my friends. But then i realized that i was working to go to school and that change my whole perspective tours school. and to be honest if it wasn’t for not being undocumented i think i would not be putting so much afford into this "as they say, you always want what you can’t have" even worst i don’t think i would even be here sharing my thought with you guys. For some other people it may work different but i can tell you i was never a good student in high school. i consider myself smart, but I’m not a genius and i study hard, work even harder... and when i have time party even harder.

i believe people who succeed in life do so because they are up to anything.... and i think one should just have a go getter mind and go for it. there is a lot of things people like us have to go through but life is not about how much you can punch, is about getting punch and standing back up….. i got that from the rocky movie...lol

and about going to community college is ok I guess, I’m finally getting my green card this year so I think ill transfer either the fall 08 or the spring 09…. But I feel as I did not waste my time as I have close to 60 credits….
