Off on a new adventure and a new career

I am leaving tomorrow. Leaving my job as a barista at Starbucks to get my CDL (commercial drivers license). I am excited for this new opportunity. The hardest part of it will be not seeing my son for the next month and a half. But the reason why I'm doing this is for him. I need a better job with better pay so I can start to work on a better future for him.
My son is everything to me, he's the reason why I work so hard everyday. I cannot wait to see his smiling face again. But I am willing to make this sacrifice for him. I want to be able to build us a home to live in on some land that I am going to purchase. I love to got my own food and prepare gourmet meals fresh from the garden. So this is the first step in making that a possibility.
On the 18th of this month I turn 35. I will be in class learning all the finer points of safety and operation for driving a commercial truck. Totally worth it though. My last birthday I went to school and then worked all night. So it's not like I really look forward to or care about own birthday at this point in my life. It's just another day. But maybe next year I'll treat myself to something cool. Either way I plan on spending every one of my son's birthdays with him until he gets tired of me.
I quit smoking cigarettes for him and for me.
After I have my CDL for a year I plan on getting my crane operator certification and continuing to advance in my new career field. I am taking my tablet with me on the road so I hope to make some posts of my adventures along the way. I will definitely be drawing during down time and will post as much of my work as I can. Thanks for reading if you lasted this long through my otherwise boring post. Steem on Steemers!
