A letter from Apr 03, 2023

Hi Baby girl, You are writing this letter on a chilly Monday morning. As an intern at PIB, your very first out there opportunity. You are now at the reception (your first day here) and will be for a week or so. I am excited and nervous at the same time. Because this has always been your dream: moving from the front office to Executive assisting. You still haven't figured out exactly what you want. I am passionate about Assisting and especially how freeing it can be since you can mostly work from home. This is the main reason i am interested in this line of work. Here with an open mind on how this works, as I am nervous on what it is like to actually handle clients. Actuarial line is a bit complicated and for a second, thought I could not hack it in the industry. Grateful that I met Cynthia (actually in 2022) but we only just recently talked about the industry and the interview experiences. Now I realize this is what I have been craving for: a sisterhood that pushes each other, of not lazy people (no shade). Because of this dilemma, we do not know what we want to pursue as masters program. Since we were young, I always wanted to do my masters abroad. This is now proving to be harder by the day, scholarship applications are not cheap and going on loan would put me a few millions behind. Idk if this is something I truly want tbh. So right now, I have decided to just rest in the fact that things work out eventually, I am really hopeful I'll find a solution. As at now we are focused on finishing the CIFA qualification, you are now in the advanced level, exams are 2 weeks away and we are nervous af but we are a smart girl, we'll hack it I know. I am also pursuing the social media manager route, though nothing is forth coming please hang in there. The opportunity with Eli I feel like it just slid through my fingers, still hurt about it months later. I reached out and because I did he started thinking about it, proposals and interviews later he just decided to go with someone else who had experience (his words). What hurts most about this is because we were almost signing the NDA then he just started ignoring me. That's okay, I will be okay. Now I know not to get too excited till the deal is sealed. Now I am nervous about interviewing with Scov, coz I don't want to go through that ordeal again. i am hoping to get someone who is will to take a chance, bet on me. I know I would be great at the job and learn even more but everyone is skeptical so they always go for people who have some kinda experience, which honestly is okay. I have written too much about this, that's how passionate I am about it. So tell me, what are we up to now? Did you get a chance to practice all the lines? which one did you like and enjoy most? What industry did you settle in? I know we love it. Where did we study the masters? is there a pHD loading? I am currently reading The psychology of money and definitely learning alot. This year I got back to reading, so excited. The goal is to read at least 12 books this year but so fat this is my second. Giving myself grace because I am studying for the exams, after I am done I will be able to do 2 books a month. What else??? This letter will get to us after 3 years, I initially wanted 5 but lets do 3. I am actively working on not procrastinating. I now know that the urge to do everything perfectly has been holding us back. Now we have the permission to just do it and not obsess over the result. It has been an amazing time! I hope you are happy. To get to watch our dreams come true, a step at a time. Also. you look so pretty today!! I know you look pretty "today" too! This letter is mostly to ease my anxieties about what the future holds career wise. I know future me is proud of all my present efforts, dang I am too. I want to keep writing coz I wanna keep hanging out with you. But its time to go study, I know I will ace the exams. I love you girl. You rock my world! Always proud of you, my pesonal person. Lets gerrit! PS: idk which tense to use or how to refer to us, so just roll with it Hugs n kisses<3
