Farther away from my Dream - A Statement of Action

Here is another summer I find myself in the same position like last time. I'm trying to job search but to no avail with no results. Last summer, I was starting off with a blank slate trying to obtain a job in IT and I accomplished that. That was grueling process to go through in waiting to be called back. Now with my career change, I find myself in the same position again in going through this process. As much as I want to make it in this field, I feel that like it is getting farther than my reach. The longer I wait for an opportunity to be given to me, the more I feel discouraged. I feel like the effort I put in is not putting a dent in the distance between me and obtaining my dream career.

Only until I had this epiphany. After talking with my family, I remembered why am I doing this for. Besides my passion for web development, I also want to be the person to improve the way my family lives and take the load off of my parent's shoulders. I'm tired of seeing my father work long hours to provide for us. Instead of letting this fire within me dim, I will add more tinder to the flame and reignite my passion to its peak. Before I lost the scope in my focus but now I will be zeroing in and staying locked and engaged. Instead of waiting for someone to give me a chance, I am going to go out there and take it. I will be putting even more applications per day like I have today. I will scour the web and exhaust every option in my job search until someone answers my knock on the door to let my foot in. I will be participating in more projects. I will dedicate myself to mastering more languages such as ReactJS, Django, Node.js . I will be going to more networking events, and messaging and learning from my connections on LinkedIn.

Today, I write this as my statement of action and for others to hold me by my goal and my raised expectations.

Thanks for reading.

Look forward to this blog being updated with my latest progress in my projects as well as posting my experience with my previous projects that I created so far in Udacity Full Stack Web Developer Nanodegree.
