My life has always been about getting to the truth, every since I can remember when I was a little boy I was a compulsive liar. I never really understood how important it was to tell the truth and how it would affect my character. There have been countless times were I decided to be a liar and started fumbling around in my story I kept saying something different. I would say one story and then start to rewrite it multiple times until I was caught. This happened at my previous job when I use to work for GameCrazy on my first day. I forgot to count the money in the counter and we ended up being $100 under in the till. I had originally said that I did count it then I had said that I thought I counted it. Then I just finally told the truth that I didn’t count the money, I got written up and promised from that point forward to never lie again. I believe that was the day I really did grow up.
This was probably the defining moment were I finally stopped creating all these lies and all these different illusions. I just stuck to the truth ever since and have been doing so, I had finally grown up and decided never to live my life as a liar. Especially if it is for work, I never want to be unprofessional and waste all the hard work I put into my job to be let go because I can’t be trusted. It’s not professional and I’m glad that my life turned around when my former boss at the time pulled me aside and told me that I shouldn’t be scared to tell the truth specially when it comes to any job. My mind no longer wonders around thinking of different excuses to say when I get caught in a lie. I do not anticipate a quick comeback for someone accusing me of something I did do but am fighting it with lies to cover up my faults. Now I just roll with the punches, I force myself to tell the truth. So that I may always feel at peace, so that I do not soil my honor and the honor of my family.
