This is a story about a person who experiences the meaning of life. I wrote this after relising how hard life could be and after seeing a lot of people becoming greedy.
Enjoy.
My mother had just dropped me off at the long pathway to my life. Ever since she had given birth to me, she always told me “you have a life and you have a long path till the end. I grew up with these words in mind and never forgot them.
After my high school graduation I took a one year holiday. I toured the world and had a lot of fun. I saw places I’d never dreamed of. I met people that I had never heard of and when I finally returned home, I knew that there was a lot of fun waiting for me.
I decided to find a nice job and go to university. It didn’t take me long to find a job. I sent a resume to the local electronic shop. They read my resume and commented well on it. I started working there about a week later. My job was to help the customers. They would come to the store looking for an electronic item. I would then supply it to them and then sell it. The first few weeks were kind of hard. People asked me for items I had never heard of.
After I had a job I knew that wasn’t enough. I soon enrolled for a few courses at the University of Sydney. I mainly took the electronic classes which was my field. I would go there four times a week and learn about how a computer was made and how an air conditioning worked. This experience was exactly what I needed. With this experience, lived my whole life.
For the next few years I did similar courses and became a master in it. I quit working at the electronics store and I headed to a store in the city. There I was to sell computers and other goods. There store wasn’t very popular so we didn’t have a lot of sales. I felt I wasn’t heading anywhere with my career and was offered a job at Jagex which was a company, that made a lot of online games.
Soon after that I moved to their main office in Sydney. There I used a lot of java. With Java, I created a whole new 3D game which could be played off the internet. I made about one hundred thousand dollars a year. I always wanted to live in the country side but with my career it was not possible.
