INTP Story Time #33
XXFP Sister: Are you really looking for a job? Be honest
INTP:Legitimately, yes I am. I’ve been getting bored way too easily these days
XXFP:You’re only applying because your bored?
INTP:Yep
Sooo I have been trying to stay positive and stay on my grind! I realize I’ve had cancer and all but I have never really had to “grind” like working and paying bills…I have led a wonderfully comfy life. Thanks Mom! But that’s over now!!!
I have really really been hustling! Handing out resumes and applying for literally all jobs! Still nothing I was hardcore second guessing (not full blown regretting) my decision to drop everything and move to the Big Apple. It’s hard out here!! I was doing awesome things at home and I miss it! I was a STAR in Denver I ain’t nothin’ here But guess who is getting interviews now!!!
I taught my dance class to babies yesterday at Hudson Guild. 3rd week and I absolutely love the kids! As I am leaving for the subway I get a call for an interview at a school in Brooklyn for a step dance teacher!! I’m doing that this morning When I got home yesterday, I did an online interview with an Artificial Intelligence company. My inbox is literally flooded with Ziprecruiter, Indeed, LinkedIn, etc. emails. Soooo I’m wading through all of those when I see an email from Dancewave asking me if I’m interested in teaching a class with them! I learned about Dancewave before I even moved to the city and really really wanted to be a part of it! That was the teacher training I went to the other week! EEEEE Excited! THENI get a call from a hotel to be a front desk receptionist and come in for an interview! That’s not even the interview on Friday! The interview on Friday is for Citibabes-a toddler center in SoHo for kids to dance and move and be free!!!
I am soooo excited and happy with surge of opportunities! Apparently all my grindin’ is paying off!
I recently traveled to South Korea and find myself not the same since I’ve came back to the states.
I went simply to visit a friend and was welcome with such amazing views and experiences, that being in Kansas City just isn’t satisfying me anymore.
If I could somehow just find a job in South Korea I would leave in an instant. However, that is very difficult being that I do not have a 4 year degree and I am Asian. (Not Korean though, I am Laotian but still it does make it a bit difficult. Especially since when I was in Korea most people just assumed I was Korean and when I told them I wasn’t…they did not know Laos or Thailand.) I am a fluent English speaker, since I was born/raised in the states, and I am going to school for Computer Graphics which is something I’ve been doing since middle school…but this just doesn’t seem like enough until my degree is obtained…
I mean, yes I have a decent life back in the states. I am a new/upcoming Kansas City DJ and have had 2 events thus far… I have amazing friends and family here. I model here and travel to other states then where I am residing about 4-10 times a year. However, I still feel depressed since now I know what life and experiences I could have.
In Korea I found a sense of independence in which I knew I would only have my friend to rely on if things got tough, but I did not find this scary at all. Instead I found it exciting. As we walked through the stations and streets, hopped onto multiple trains/subs, listened to a language I was learning but could not fluently speak, ate delicious foods that were both foreign and familiar to me, relaxed in the bath houses, and laughed through the nights. I found time going way to fast and as I boarded the plane to leave, and had to keep telling myself that it was a reality that I was really leaving.
I plan to go back but am saddened to know that once I get there I’ll always be sad that I’ll have to come back… I will vlog next time and take much more photos however even that will not suffice.
