Dear graduation class of 2018 , you are not a tree . I repeat you are not a tree
Get up and Go.
Don’t waste too much time trying to save enough money or have the perfect plan.
Just do it.
7 years ago with a cheap paper road map I bought at the gas station , I drove a big uhaul truck solo with no gps from Atlanta to Boston with a quick stop over in turnup city Baltimore Maryland lol..because why not.
Best career move I ever made even though I was scared shitless in that moment & didn’t know anyone in Boston .
It is hard making new positive friends in a new city if you're not in college.
It was even harder because I was the youngest person in the office at my first job in Boston.
I had to learn to be the one to initiate relationships. I had to "put myself out here".
So I joined networking groups like " Africans in Boston", a church to plug in to, Boston Bloggers groups, fitness groups and found several soccer teams to play on and the rest as the say it...is history.
