:) I’m really starting to enjoy adulthood by seeing how far I’ve come and what I will continue to learn about myself. My bosses and clients always marveled at how young I was, eager to learn, able to be around people at least twice my age. I removed the year I graduated from my resume and LinkedIn.

I love your question because no one has ever asked this question on the blog. I also knew everything I was feeling was very true for me, but also confusing because if my boss didn’t need me, I wouldn’t have a job, I wouldn’t get a paycheck, and I wouldn’t have all this experience to put on my resume. How did I learn this?
