Today my life as a working professional begins. All my life I've been just me. Just a kid who walked herself to and back from school and everywhere else. Maybe taking the bus sometimes. Or succeed in groveling for a ride when I get really lucky. Today I become a grownup. Today I become accountable to someone other than myself. Today I become accountable to my car. To Chase Co., my car leasor. To all the hazards driving can offer. Together, no matter what happens, I'll be ready. For anything. For everything. To take on the monthly insurance payments, to take on out-of-pocket expenses when I exhaust my deductibles. To take on possibility and responsibility of crashes, blowouts, blizzards, floods and retaking that stupid knowledge test that I failed miserably 11 hours ago. Today, Subaru, our life together begins. And I for one can't wait till the 42-month lease is over.
