Well guys and gals...I did it !!!!
By far this year has been a roller coaster ride for me started the year by getting married to my girlfriend of 10 years,and the mother of our 3 year old son Eric. I'm an A/C Technician for 10 years as well and work slowed down to where I had to quit,because I a boss that knew it was slow but avoided to lay my off so he could save money on taxes.
So at this point you are left with a lot of thoughts how am I gonna pay this...that.... day care you name it's there. Most a/c businesses where slow as well so I either get a job or not. Most of my savings went to our wedding and had little left over to ride on. I was mad at my boss because he taught me great but I to build myself up,but just to do this to me. Couldn't get unemployment either.You know the thing that hurt me the most is we agreed on a christmas bonus of 5,000 dollars at the end of the last year.So I had to make over a $110,000.Well the end of the year came and I got three hundred dollars well I was okay great its something. I would ask him so what did I make for the year for your business only 9 months the other months where slow. He wouldn't answer me,and boy was a I really planning for this money for our wedding early this year. So with all the crap going threw my head we forgot that we bought WrestleMaina 26 tickets so well we go as our honeymoon because we both just need to get the hell away from here.It was a blast and something to clear our thoughts,I told myself when we get back home,I know what to do now...... "IT'S TIME"!
I need to open my own A/C business and get my state license.
I was determined to do this and lots of prayer! I bought my 6 books and a ductalator which I had have been studying my butt off for 4 solid months.I would do 4 hours everyday until I finished each book from front to back. I would test my myself with software that I purchased for practice test. I started scoring 60's in April all the way to July I was in the 90's. So I was ready to go take this big Texas State Exam...well I failed the first time missed by ten points need 70% to pass.This was a three hour long test 100 questions open book test,but with lots of books to go through.
I was in awl because I busted my tail each and every night. I had all my books tabbed just spent to much time looking for the answers in the books. I reapplied for the test and was sure not to the same mistakes twice. I prayed my butt off to do this because it hasn't been a easy six months for me and my family.I took the exam again on the 20th of this month,and was neverous at the end of exam because I didn't want to see FAIL at the end of it. Well Ladies and Gentlemen I passed it with flying colors and tears of joy came out of me that day.I called my wife and that was the best moment for both of us crying our butts off.The whole family was proud and a major success in my life right now. I'm going through the motions right getting insured and bonded. Know Im stoked because I get to design my company logo.Its all coming to piece little by little. The man upstairs gave me the will to do this so I give it all to him. I haven't been I the boards much because of all the studying.So I haven't had the chance to celebrate my success yet so last night lord willing Monday Night RAW was here last night and where able to attend,and took our three year son for his first wrestling event. My boy loves John Cena so he was in full gear with bands,belt,shirt,cap. He had no clue,was just saying dad there Orton shirt of DX shirt. We closed his eyes until we sat down,and told him to open them. Boy that was the best reaction that we had seen from him,and told us mom dad thank you and love you.It was great last night becuase for the price of the ticket they taped to RAWS on the same night.Got there at 6:45 and left at 11:30.So we know what happens next week...heheheh! I wanted to share my story with you all because there is a lot of good people on this boards and is the only one that I feel great about.
