Wow!!!! Where to begin...Here is the long version...I resigned from a job I absolutely love! I have been blessed with an amazing career with one of the top financial institutions in the country in so many markets for the past 9.5 years. I started there as a young girl barely 22, lol no kids and a dream of working somewhere where I, as a young Hispanic Woman, could grow a career that my future children would be proud to say My Mommy works there! and to be able to provide a life for myself and them no man needed. At the time I was working 3 other jobs and I quit some of those to accept a 5-15 hour a week teller position. I thought it was a way in the door to prove myself. I moved up quickly from there to a banker and shortly after that set my sights on a management role with encouragement of one of my mentors who, at the time saw something in me I didnt even see in myself. I achieved that goal as well!! I have held many different roles and received countless awards with one of Forbes top companies! I am so damn proud of that!!!!! I set my sights on becoming an investment banker about a year and a half ago and worked so fricken hard studied my ass off and am so blessed I had so much support from one of THE BEST managers I have ever had at any company ever! He went to bat for me big time and I am forever grateful. I was up for another promotion with WF when I received multiple calls for another career opportunity elsewhere. So you might wonder since I love my job and company so much why am I leaving? Well, after seeking guidance from those most important to me, and a ton of prayer I have chosen to pursue this opportunity!! This new position will give me so much more time with my family which is why I work so damn hard in the first place!!! They are my legacy in life! Not any award or accolade. It is so bittersweet for me!! Im leaving at such a high point in my career where I had so much on the horizon for something completely unknown. I loved my job I was doing so very much and showed that, I believe everyday to my clients. I am going to miss them so damn much they make my day!! I have generations of families I help. Some of my clients just come by to check on me and say hi and see how the boys are! They made my time so enjoyable!!! God really dropped this out of heaven into my lap!!! I am truly so blessed. Ive worked so hard building my brand that my reputation in the community precedes itself that this was brought to me and my family. I did not go seeking, I was content and grateful where I was at. Thank you to everyone who helped encourage me, motivate me, listen to me vent, kick me in the pants when I needed, helped groom me for success and for all of my mentors and colleges who believed in me over the years! Nothing I do is on my own!!!! No successful person does anything on their own!! I hate all that talk about it was all me, did it all on my own! BS!!! I wouldnt be where I am going today if no one offered me opportunities that yes, granted, I worked hard to get and if it werent for ALL THE AMAZING colleges I have been blessed to call friends who never gave up on me and for all the support of friends and my family that I can accomplish this next goal I am about to embark on. I love you all and cry as I write this because I didnt get to say goodbye to anyone and I am so grateful to my College Square team!!! You all were there for me everyday when my Mom was sick and when she passed day in day out and gave me grace while grieving, through ALL of my pregnancies, took care of me when I was sick, brought me meals and showered me with love and I have so much love for all of you and I am forever grateful. I just pray where Im going the people are half as nice and caring as all the wonderful people I will miss so very dearly on a daily basis!! Sorry so long but that is my story, hard to put almost a decade of hard work, friendships and history into a paragraph.
