So why did I not pursue a career in Accounting?
Well, not having applied myself in high school, I honestly didn’t think it was possible. No way of being able to afford to go to college or university I didn’t even think about it at the time.
Instead I decided to take off after graduating and go live with my Father. Yes the father that wasn’t around while I was growing up. I had never seen him or heard from him from the time I was 4 until I was 13
At that time he was living in another province with his second wife. They had come home, that summer, to visit family. My aunt called me one day to say he was there and wanted to see me.... I took off without even telling my mother where I was going
From that day forward I tried to have a relationship with my father. At 15 and 16 I went to visit him during summer vacation.
Over the years I could never do anything right, according to my father, I was no saint by any means but I wasn’t an awful person either, just made some bad choices.
The baddest choice..... I hooked up with somebody who paid attention to me and seemed to want to be with me... at the age of 18. I met him while I was at my father’s. I had gone to stay there after high school hoping for something better in life.... Well that never happened.....
