A Piece Of Paper
Over twenty four years ago I graduated from Pickens Technical College with a certificate in Respiratory Therapy. I was so proud to be a CRT (Certified Respiratory Therapist) and have that piece of paper. Years went by and I obtained the rest of the qualifications to test for the RRT (Registered Respiratory Therapist) tests.
After taking the test I failed only by four points on each part, butI failed. Devestating to someone with a 3.4 GPA. The years went by and in 2011 I became a victim of "that's nwver never going to happen to me" syndrome when I lost my respiratory job.
Repurposing
Now I have started to repurpose my career and life. I also have found that a little piece of paper makes a huge difference in the corporate and medical worlds. It's not enough to have the years of knowledge and experience, now it's a requirement to have that one piece of paper that says; "You are a real special person who did it our way".
What's wrong with wanting to help other people achieve their dreams?
I want to sleep until I'm done sleeping. I want to choose how and when I work. What about you?
