In 2007, I crashed a borrowed car on my way to a job interview.

What started as a simple car swap to avoid a traffic ticket quickly spiraled into disaster when I hydroplaned over construction runoff and slammed into a concrete divider. The wrecked car was just the beginning—my boyfriend's reaction revealed more about our relationship than months of dating had. 

Despite the chaos, I formulated a plan: get the damaged car home, change clothes, catch a train to the city, and somehow pull myself together for this crucial interview. Not only did I make it on time, but when I shared my morning's adventure with my interviewers, I unknowingly demonstrated exactly the kind of quick thinking and resilience they were looking for. Before I even made it home that evening, they called with a job offer.

This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a challenging three-year period that included working for half my predecessor's salary, supporting my mother through cancer, and remaining in a relationship that was slowly draining my spirit. Like waves repeatedly crashing over someone struggling to reach shore, each new challenge threatened to pull me under. 

The greatest lesson? Learning to slow down rather than rushing headlong into chaos.
