Search Results: he kicked me

I have held 25 jobs in my lifetime. While my tenure was very short, I have gained exposure to a lot of experiences. I am multifaceted in a multitude of different lines of work. I went from lifeguard in my teens to Advanced EMT to software developer with minimal post-secondary formal education (of course AEMT was an accelerated course I had to take). I have retained a lot of this knowledge too. I have saved lives along the way and have worked on projects for multi-billion dollar companies by the age of 30, including Zoetis, Daimler, and McCain Foods. I am also working with state legislators to pass much-needed legislation. I have appeared before county commissioners with concerns. I am probably one of the most memorable people others encounter, although a lot of this is for bad reasons.

I have had a very rough road growing up, even into most of my 20s. I was hospitalized involuntarily countless times. I missed most of my high school years being in psychological treatment centers. By the time I graduated, I was desperate to catch up on most of the adolescent experiences I missed. I only wanted to lose my virginity to another virgin at the time, which left me in a bad psychological state. I lost my virginity to a high school girl at the age of 20, which led to a whole bunch of issues with the law, mainly because her daddy called the law on me. It was a weekend fling, considering she wanted nothing to do with me afterwards. I was kicked out of multiple colleges, and even had my gym membership suspended. I lost my EMT license. I went on dates with a lot of 17-year-olds in my early-to-mid 20s, until I got my first real girlfriend at the age of 29, whom I am now engaged to and expected to marry.

My community in west Knoxville is starting show normalcy again. I drove around even to the mall, and our once-white community is starting to return again. A huge noticeable difference with less Mexicans and foreigners running around. While traffic can still be rather intense at times, there is a noticeable difference in traffic congestion and commuting on the roads is getting easier. Everything is starting to feel like the old Knoxville I knew.

On a negative note, I am hitting roadblocks with state legislators with improving emergency services. The state legislative deadline has passed, so I am a sitting duck until next year.
