She put herself through college, going to classes from 8 am-4pm and then working from 5pm to midnight as a waitress at a nearby grease spoon diner. She would then go home, get a shower, get a bite to eat, do her homework and sleep for the four hours remaining before she got up and did it all over again.
She did this 5 days a week, 9 months a year for 4 years. On Saturdays, she worked a first shift internship and then a second shift at the diner. On Sunday mornings, she volunteered at a soup kitchen, coming home in the afternoon and regressing until Monday morning.
She knew her Daddy was out there, somewhere … waiting for her. She just hadn’t met him yet. But until that first meeting, she was going to drive straight ahead with her life, achieving every success she endeavored and overcoming every obstacle in her way.
She graduated at the end of those 4 years and was hired as a paralegal almost immediately. But she wasn’t hired because of perfect grades or because of overwhelming knowledge. Good grades she had and the knowledge she still needed she would learn. But this BabyGirl was hired because of something that dazzled in the twinkling of her irises.
She had determination and everyone who met her could see it in her. They all had the same thought about her: “I want a little bit of what she’s got.”
Instead of wanting something, she went out and got it. Or, if she knew she couldn’t get it yet, she prepared herself for the day she would finally get it. But never once did she believe that it wouldn’t happen.
Chance favors the prepared mind and sometimes we find what we’re looking for when we least expect it.
Can you believe it? The first lawyer she worked for turned out to be a Daddy. Imagine if she hadn’t pushed herself through college to get that paralegal degree.
