Blessing in disguise

This week, I'd like you to write about a "blessing in disguise".  This would be a moment or occurrence in your past that, at first, seemed like a "bad" situation, an incredible challenge, or a even a defeat.  But what makes you alchemize that situation, is that you had some time to see that there was a lot of good from it.  It was a learning experience.  It's usually a moment of change.  Maybe it taught you a lesson.  Maybe it created a space or opportunity for something new to come into your life.  Maybe it changed you in a big way - for the better.  Please write at least 3 paragraphs: 

   

A blessing in disguise is always good. Its like the fruit durian, it can be the worst thing in the world but when you eat it, it taste like heaven. One experience in my life that was similar is attending a community college. I always thought that it would be a terrible experience. I always thought I was going to attend a university. Its not that i'm not smart, but I just didn't have a good work ethic. 

When I found out that I would have to attend community college.I felt depressed and ashamed that I couldn't go to a university. It was tough watching all my friends and classmates go off to universities and that I would have to stay back and go to community college. It wasn't fun seeing all my friends talk about the fun and awesome experiences they were having in university. I was going through a lonely time, all my friends were away at university and I was still at home preparing to attend community college. I spent days at class then would go back home were I would feel lonely and I got depressed. 

But with time I noticed that there is no way to speed up time so that I can enjoy the same experience that my friends were having. I just have to do what I have to do to get there. So over time my perspective of my situation changed. I am saving more money than all of my friends and I am still able to live with my family and have a job. So I noticed that it was kind of a blessing in disguise and over time I became content with my situation. I always my life as a marathon and this is just another mile of my marathon.
