Well guys and gals,
This has been an amazing year. I definitely had many memories to take with me for the rest of my life. I have met so many new people this past year and will also have to say good bye to the people I knew for the past 4 years. This brings back a lot of memories when I graduated high school. This is when all of us will take many different paths. I am truly going to miss a lot of my graduating seniors and I would like to wish you guys the best of luck. You know if you guys need someone to catch you if you fall I will always be here.
Best of Luck,
Ron Wong

Missing you
But when I got home and reflected of what really just happened I just broke down. I can't believe it has been already 5 years and half years since I lost my grandpa to cancer. And that day, was just hard for me to deal with all of the emotions I have running through my head. Later that night, I skpyed my mom and she just started crying and that did not help my cause either. So it was literally half an hour of my mom and I crying and looking at each other through our webcam's lol.
But all jokes aside, I realized how lucky I was to have a wonderful grandpa to teach me everything I know and sculpted me into the man I am today. And I also realized how thankful I am to have the friends and family I have now. For being so supportive and always catching me when I fall. I am truly blessed and want to thank all the people for donating in supporting my cause.

The Show Goes On...
Well, the end of the semester is fast approaching and these next 2 weeks will be the death of me. But I think it is going to be harder to say good bye to all of my friends. Once again, we all have came to that fork in the road we encountered in high school also. But I feel with college I have a better bond with my friends. I can honestly say I have developed friendships that will last forever. Most will be at my wedding and maybe some might be there when I have my first child. But in the end I can honestly say I am extremely blessed to have the people I do in life and would not trade it for the world.
As for jobs, in my last post you guys might of read that I had an interview with Adams Outdoor Advertising for a possible internship this summer. Which lead me to a hard decision of whether I should leave Caterpillar and pursue Adams or should I just stay with Caterpillar. And my decision is... why not both? I can't see myself letting go of Caterpillar and I also can't see myself not taking the opportunity for Adams if I am offered the position. I think it will be hard but I would work full-time at Adams and part-time at Cat. So roughly this summer I will be working 12-14 hours a day this summer which is rough but you have to do what you gotta do I guess. Well, I have many things to accomplish but I will keep everyone up to date

Decisions...
Soooo... Today I received an email from John Searby (Sales Manager from Adams Outdoor Advertising) and he offered me an interview this Friday, which I accepted. If you guys haven't been keeping up with my blog. I recently just received a job from Caterpillar and I am torn between two jobs. I am not sure if I want to stay with Cat which pays REALLY well, BUT... I am not happy. And Adams Outdoor Advertising which goes along with my major but I can't guarantee they can match what I am getting at Cat and I am not even sure if I will like it.
But lets say I do end up getting the job offer from Adams. How would I break it to my supervisor at Cat. "Oh thanks for giving me the opportunity but I was offered a better position" and she will say "Well, Ron thanks for wasting our time for the past 3 weeks" LOL I really don't know what to do.

Australia...
June is around the corner and in June my parents and I are applying for citizenship for Australia. It is a huge step in my life and I am not sure if I am really ready for it. I am going to miss my friends and family so much. Especially the friends that I have developed here at Bradley University. But in the long-run I just want what is the best for my parents. If my parents stay here they won't be able to retire as nicely as I wanted. But if my parents move to Australia, they will have it a lot easier and it has been really hard on my dad. My dad hasn't seen his family since 1984 when he came to America. And I just want the best for my dad and he deserves to be happy. Well, time to get back to the grind of school and work.

April... ::Sigh::
Life:
Well its that time of the year, it is April. Which means this is when college students because extremely busy. This will be my first time going through finishing school and having a job. I feel like this is going to become overwhelmingly stressful. But I am up for the challenge.
Job:
It has been two weeks at Caterpillar now, and I got paid last week and that made me extremely happy. As of right now, my job seems very complicated but I feel with time and errors it will eventually become easy.
Sports:
What can I say, ummm.... Oh yeah, CHICAGO BULLS IS FIRST IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE. Hopefully, that will remain with the last few games left. And I am sure to whoever is my Facebook friends that are following my blog has seen. If Derrick Rose, does not win the MVP this year, I will offically stop watching NBA.
But that is pretty much all I have to say. Ill keep you guys up-to-date when things happen in these next few weeks.

Spring Break and Job
Hey Guys and Gals,
I have been extremely busy lately, but to fill you guys in. Last week, I came back from Las Vegas with some of my friends and I can say it was a trip to remember. It was well needed to finish senior year with a bang. And since, we were there for the beginning of March Madness. We are looking to try and go back next year around the same time. While I was in Las Vegas, I received a phone call and email with a job offer at Caterpillar. I couldn't respond any faster, I have been waiting a very long time to try and get my foot in the door at Caterpillar.
But with this job, I know my schedule is going to get that much more complicated. But the way I have to see it is that there is only 6 weeks of school left. I just need to get over this hump and it will be smooth sailing to the summer. But talking about hump, I have a huge mountain of homework that I need to attend too. So I will catch you guys later.
