From the eyes of a newbie as I walk out my front door.
All my bags are packed, toll money in a cup, a check from mom in my purse, a bag of snacks in the passenger seat, and my last night at home as a resident.
Tomorrow is a big day. When I step out of the door and walk towards my new 2004 Toyota Matrix, I know that this will always be Mom's house, but my life has officially detached and re-rooted in Indianapolis, IN. Life is full of memorable first steps. When I was seven months old I took my first step, rather young I know (my mom actually would tell people I was nine months when they saw me walking because she thought people wouldn't believe her). I actually can't believe I made it this far, when I was five days old I got my head stuck in between a fan and a coffee table, when I was one year I pulled a TV on my head, when I was five I swore there where sharks swimming up the bathtub drain trying to eat me, when I was ten there were whales in the Holiday Inn public pool, and when I was eleven there were killers who always came into the house and tried to kill me.
After recovering from the television incident and fighting off whales, I believe I can take Indianapolis head on. I will probably have a panic attack or two and maybe a few tears, but this is what society tells me my end goal is. After this I think I am suppose to get married, have a boy and then a girl, buy a house with an open layout and drive a minivan. But first, I will work on the job part.
