LIFE

It was around this time last year that i wrote my last blog. I had just finished UWI, I was unemployed at home and my country was on the brink of collapse.

Much has changed since, I did interviews got a job only to lose it before Istarted, got another one and left after eight months and next week I will embark on another journey.

The last eight months I have worked as a journalist...

This has opened my eyes to alot of human relationships that dictate the day to day happenings in Jamaica.

I went to CARIMAC because I wanted to be an investigative journalist, I left my last job wanting to get as far away from Media as possible.

Dont get me wrong i like writing , I like what I was doing.

But what I could not deal with is the utter disregard for people's feelings and disrespect that young people face in this business.

I am tired of hearing all you university graduates blah blah...

Yes I made mistakes it was my first job but I did a good job.

I worked hard 10-12 hours day without overtime for months.

When i stopped and stood up to the person who continued to disrespect me, the issue became one about my character.

lol that one was funny ,because the person with whom i had this confrontation with constantly told people badwords that should not be repeated much less in a professional environment.

Yet still I showed no character.

I don't regret leaving my job.

I hope this one is better .

I learnt alot thou, cried many days ,went hungry many nights but I have come out with a renewed purpose and knowledge of who i am.
