In about 8 more days until 2012, and a new beginning. What does that mean? A lot of things, new goals, new name, new job, new school and new time in life....possibly end of the world?? I don't think so. I have made a few announcements going into 2012 as few people know. As of effective Jan 1st, my name will be changed as Dave Jefferson, the reason for the change? I will explain later.
The last 3 calendar years from 2009 to this year has been 3 productive and learning experiences of my life. I Learned so much from being a post-boy to a developed man at the age of 24. I’ll admit that it was a hard experience to accept and absorb. There was a lot of observation, learning, researching and reading situations developing into a man. Even though I live in a media city known as Los Angeles I have seen the influence and media image that young to older adult have taken to start their trends and styles. When starting adulthood at the age of 22 and learning quickly about certain things in life it is completely different than being a kid. I did not go to college straight out of high school or I did not have a plan for my future. All I remember is having girlfriends and being relationships for the first 3 years of my adult life after graduating San Gabriel High School. Despite my immaturity in 2006, I do regret certain things I have done in that year that shouldn’t been done or said.
Now at age 24, almost less than a month to go until I turn 25, over the course of this month (Dec) I have decided to revamp myself and concentrate on my well-being, being a man, career and wealth. I believe that if I continue improving myself moving forward into the New Year and turning 25, the improvements will help me evolve into the person I want to be. I’ve learn how valuable knowledge and skills that I can possess throughout my life make things happen. I have accomplished goals and achievements in my last 3 years in my adulthood which shows me that I have a great work ethic, dedication, grace, vision, heart and determination. I believe a new “ERA” is beginning in 2012, I’ve decided to have a change my name, not as a person, but my identity. Just as Kobe Bryant changed his number at 24, we all know why, even though he is covering it that he supposedly he’s a step higher than Jordan (which is not true). I’ve decided to change my name to Dave Jefferson, reason why? David Castaneda is a name that given by my parents and probably will always remember me by, also the people outside will remember who I am for a variety of things. To me, David Castaneda is no longer in this world. I would say I have simply changed over the course of years and decided for the last few years I wanted to change my full name.
Dave Jefferson is going be a different person than David Castaneda. Dave Jefferson I would say is going to be the evolution of higher standard. Jefferson is more of a patient, well-mannered, intelligent, communicative and smart individual oppose to David Castaneda who was a serious, intellectual, caring, charming, wired individual. People may have different views of me (David Castaneda). Dave Jefferson to me sounds like an intelligent and successful person in life that will have it well off and also an individual has achieved a lot in his life. Jefferson would be more ambitious and hungry to climb up the top and want more as he climbs the ladder of success. Jefferson a 5-7, 155, dark skinned, stands tall, sweater-vest and tie, with sophisticated eyeglasses individual who willing to travel and study more as he goes. Jefferson has high expectations to accomplish and success.
