Work, childhood, and everything in between!

I was asked to right this thread by a visitor to my page. I am a 29 year old caucasian American male that is living in China and this is the story of how that came to be. After enduring my family and my younger years and realizing that blood is certainly not thicker than water, I began to rely on myself and only myself. I knew that if I wanted things in this life that I had to make them happen alone. I began to train as a CNA and worked on the Intensive Care Unit of a hospital on the overnight shift. Eventually I got bored with processing expired PT's and I wanted more out of life, so I became a flight attendant. I travelled the world and didn't even spend a dollar to do it! Eventually that got old and I needed a new thrill so here I was faced with a new question "What do I do now?". The thrill of jet setting was gone and it had become to feel more and more like a burden, but I still needed a new rush. I had recalled hearing about teaching English overseas when I was 20 years old and I began to look further into this opportunity. Before I knew it I was on a plane to China for my teaching diploma and now here I am! In two weeks I move on to my second employer in China and I am looking forward to the new chapter in this brief game that we call life.
