Life a little easier being able to move
So yes I was finally able to get some type of transportation. It's been tough not having enough for gas and where I work well the little I do I don't get paid for sectionals but do for the lessons I teach. I guess I just feel as I'm leaving a footprint and gaining experience is more important except I couldn't quite make it all the time. luckily I was being able to go with my dad but since I was I would have to be on a campus all day and wait until after school, it was time being wasted. My mom had been saving some money so she let me borrow it to get my self a car. It's going to take me a long time to pay it back but in the bright side we have a more affordable car. I did well in maintaining interest yet not seeming needy from whom I bought it from. I drive approximately 56 miles one way (times it by 2 both ways) and sometimes I go twice a week... imagine if I had a full time.
See when I was going with my dad I would have to wait around all day. Sometimes I would get time to chit chat with the director because I've known him for 12 years but you don't have time. If any time it was a minute at a time. He was one of my encouragements to go into music when he was my teacher.He pushed many of us into the school we went to. He wanted to see more diversity in that campus ans sure enough we added.
So when I am able to drive I do errands, deliver orders to my mom's clients and run my personal errands which sometimes need to get done but I don't disclose what I have to do. I just do everybody else's and do what I can about the time with mine.
Now, wednesday was the first time I was able to drive in a while. I felt such an urge to leave I forgot my purse and my wallet at home. Lol!!! I was extra cautious.
So this is it. It's a 2002 White Honda Civic. It will get me from point A to point B-I back to point A again. The best part is not having to depend on a ride or to take care of business, I can just do it when it needs to. The best part is I no longer have to ask to use a car to leave.
I have my other car but it's still being used and it's in a bad condition. And even though I bought that one, I bought it with out help I feel I can't use it. Even if I asked to use my car I wasn't always allowed or I was frowned upon...
Well, it's easier (a little now) to focus and getting what I have to do now and not being as stranded.

Sweet ride.
You might wish to sell your other car. Even a junk dealer would give you Blue Book value. I had to do that a few weeks ago with my trusty old Saturn Vue. My KIA gets me around more economically, so life's a real trade-off.
Enjoy your more independent life, Reyna.
@bmojsilo - Thanks
@RighteousBruin - Thanks for the advice but the other car is being used by my dad... it's not that bad to be taken by the junk yard... It's a good car, it just needs work to the motor. My dad did the damaging so if he needs to keep using it, he needs to fix it. I'm not trading I had to let my car go for my dad to work and this was in '08. It's always good to find a car to use. The car I was using was a 2003 4runner but was too much $ to drive it for my pay. And thanks I do like being independent but it's never quite as we would like. lol but thank you for yout support.
hurray for being mobile! =D
And maybe it can occasionally take you to point C.
Congrats...so very great you now have your own ride. woo hoo!!
@Cucumber_Melonhead - horray!!! =D
@Rob_of_the_Sky - Occasionally, when I don't skip it.

@pinktiger335 - your already up all night ... like you really need coffee from starbucks
@jdortiz - Lol, I really have been up all night. I haven't been able to sleep at all and that's witha computer off and phone away and no distractions and I can't sleep... before was willingly staying up now it's against my own will
But, I don't go to starbucks for coffee.... silly man. I drink their tea. I love the Passion Ice Tea, flavored with just raspberry.
