Facing Reality - My Story
By Alexis Jorgenson

I am a 24-year-old woman who has a story for you and hopes you can maybe relate to it and can learn through my mistakes. I used to say I have Good Bad Luck. The oxymoron of the day.

I was a 23-year-old average girl who was trying to come up in the world. I had a fun job as a cocktail server and had just bought myself a car, moved out of my mom's house and in with some friends that I knew from 9th grade or so. I was living the life.

Finally I could support myself and have play money. Then the oxymoron came to play. A spiral of bad luck happened.

First my car was stolen 10 minutes after I clocked into work. I didn't even find out till I got off work at 1 am or so. My boss felt so bad that they bought me a new car the very same day, around 11 am. I went to pick it up and my boss told me that he would just take the car payment out of my paychecks. I was like, "Okay, cool, thank you so much!"

Okay, sounds like bad luck turned to good luck... but did it really?Let's continue with the story: Facing Reality

Love and blessings,
Marlene
