For the past 21 years, I've been almost the same guy. The guy from the "hood", who is damn proud of that fact. A city boy who embraces his roots, where he came from, and how he grew up. I had a certain swagger about me, wore certain clothes that I was influenced by as a kid. Baggy jeans, ball shorts, sports tees, and sneakers. It was a look I grew up around, and one that I was very comfortable with. I talked a certain way as well, and had this mentality that I was tough to a certain extent. This is all about to change very soon. I am entering the real world, where all of this will not be acceptable. I will have to dress, act, and talk a certain way. Am I ready for this? Most certainly. I think this kind of change is good for me. I am fresh out of college, and ready to be molded to be a mature successful young man with decor. I am ready to be a professional and embrace this challenge. While I will be a mess Sunday night and Monday morning on my way in to my 1st day, in the back of mind, I am very excited for what is ahead of me.
