Today marks an anniversary for me, three years ago my life changed, (life actually started to change approximately 8 years ago.... long story) I was hired as an apprentice as an operating engineer. The apprenticeship is a three year program but with determination, skill and support from some great friends and family I was allowed to take my license exam only a year and half into my apprenticeship. Not even two years into the apprenticeship I was offered a position as an operating engineer at the location I was apprenticing at, blew me away!
My point is I'll be 57 come this February, life can and will throw you a curve ball but its up to you how you choose to swing at hit at it.
My suggestion is to swing hard and run like hell!
What the hell.... I still do what I love to do but on a limited basis, I have goals and we are on the right track to achieve them.
Thanks for looking,
Bob
