Adaptability?
The new federal ten percent tanning tax...how unfair to the indoor tanners. It's taxes like these that give the government the ability to tax anything to the public. But it is not as shocking as moving to a new place and quiting my job on a moments notice. My day-to-day lifestyle has changed dramatically.
Looking through my purse, I find my daily essentials such as money, makeup, and my planner. Other items like receipts and wrappers clutter the bottom of my purse, but I don't worry about throwing them away.
What do these stories say about me? From new taxes to moving to items in my purse, I can say that I stress my ability to adapt. Will I give up or slow down my tanning vice to avoid the increased tax? How well will I adapt to my new living environment? Do I really need all those miscellaneous items in my purse?
