Fear Hijacked My Artistic Talent

Over coming my fears has enhanced my life. I wouldn't be making pottery if I was still stuck in my fears.

The interview went fairly well. I was definitely not present at times, but I was present for most of it. I was in my body for most of it. I feel somewhat proud of myself for not bailing on the interview and answering questions honestly. I didn’t just say what I thought she wanted to hear and I was very open about what my weaknesses and strengths truly are.

The manager said if I don’t get a job at the specific Starbucks I was at today, then she would help me get interviews at other Starbucks in the area. I feel if she didn’t like something about me, then she would have never offered to do something like that.

So...overall...I definitely conquered a fear today. And while I feel insecure about having to apply for jobs such as Starbucks or other retail jobs, I am trying to realize the job I hold at 23 doesn’t define my life. Yes, most people I went to high school with are in graduate/medical school, but I have things to give to people they don’t--not necessarily better things, but just different things, different experiences. Once I get my degree and can decide what further education I want to pursue, I will have the opportunity to bring different experiences to the table compared to someone who went straight through high school to college to graduate school.
