Hello *yips*

[Akoni]

Hello My name is Akoni the Fox, Currently in Texas, I recently just got out on my own told my parents everything and finally broken free of my cage, I am determined for any kind of line of work, I am seeking across…what I am asking for is a chance to be able to be on my own and gain experience of any kind. I do need Advise or a gentle shove in the right direction but I wish to do it on my own, describing my situation. My family is military, and I came out to them about my nature, they toke it better then I had thought but we needed space, many of my family are living in happy worlds. Small allusions and I grew tired of it, I am shy I am timid a may look soft but I willing to put forward what ever effort I can I want a chance to accomplish something for once in my life though I know not the way…and yes I am utterly terrified. I love the outdoors I know the good and the bad of Alaska..a chance there I would truly love especially if it means work experience and then hopefully returning to college to continue my education, a lot has happened in my life, frankly I do not care I am Ready to live..and so I am seeking where people may not look,

For now I seek info, to determain what may become a likely path to take, in this case a major leap.

Thank You Sir Oni,

I do plan to further my education however, do to the events I have gone through it is in a utter mess, I had no control, I guess bluntly I never used my back bone to gain control of my life, nor to write my own story in life, my family made sure to hold my hand and write it as they saw fit which led into multiple things I am now free of. It is good to know someone in the education system I never got a chance to understand how all that worked my own experience was a mess as I said for college.

For Info, I do ask a lot yet little, If my plans go accordingly I will move to Alaska late January bringing if all is well my own tools however, Money for housing is utterly impossible for the moment until I start up work in Alaska. So A place to stay I do ask for, I grew up in a large southern family until we moved to Colorado so I am skilled in cleaning “cant stand messes X3” but I love to help out in anyway I can, I also learned to cook for myself if with the right ingredients I am all willing to show my skill and talent with the kitchen by making a meal, Room or a roof is all I seek till I can start saving up money enough to start paying for rent and perhaps helping someone out, I am Social and understand rules well, so telling me things that are allowed and not I shell respect the household. I understand that is a tuff order to ask, but it is all I ask for some help.

What I plan to do is mainly working on gaining experience and losing some lbs, I plan perhaps to go military Navy Branch but have to do a few things first, but if things are going well I could also return to further my education.

The only Relation I can say about my Experience is I am skilled in hospitality and minor repairs indoors, I worked for my college servicing as the Gallery Assistant to the Director herself in helping to prep and hang the show, as well as run the food tables I have a resume built up of my experience which are very little.

What I seek however is just experience My work experience I am skilled in certain things but in reality it is a empty cup I wish to fill so any kind of entry level work or work that people instruct I follow and I learn how to do and there for learn the skills I may add to my very short one page resume.

Work I may have covered however this is the things on my table of things and plans to help, perhaps ease some of these may be of great help.

The only thing I can really say about moving to Alaska is that before you do, you should have a job lined up already and a place to live, if possible.  Finding a job can suck in Alaska, unless you have very specific qualifications in fields that are in high demand (which is doesn't sound like you do).  I don't know what your living situation is now, but I think the smart thing to do would to save up money now, before moving.

Sorry if this comes off harsh, but if you're wanting more independence, like your posts suggest (to me anyways), I think you should be more prepared before attempting a move to Alaska.  It is actually a lot to ask for room and board for some indefinite amount of time.  It could take you months to find a job, especially if you don't have experience in a high-demand field, and could take you just as long to find an affordable place to live (which would most likely involve finding roommates to share expenses).  The cost of living in Alaska is pretty high and honestly, I don't see basic housework as being a fair exchange for a place to live and food for a complete stranger, unless you're camping in the back yard and eating scraps and cheap ramen.

You would be better off if you could secure a job in Alaska before moving, so you at least have something more to offer whoever would take you in, and have an idea of how long it would take to find your own place.  If you can't do that and can't save up money before moving, I would suggest choosing a place nearer to where you are now to move to.

I've known quite a few people that go through life taking advantage of the generosity of others, rather than doing things for themselves, and that's kinda how your situation comes off to me.  You don't seem to have any sort of preparation or anything to offer to someone who would let you stay with them, and you haven't given a very clear reason of why you want to move to Alaska, especially when you mentioned wanting join the military (which would probably be a better choice).  Maybe you could elaborate on why it's so important for you to want to move to Alaska with no preparation.  Honestly without a good reason, all I can think of is someone trying to go somewhere new, where no one knows them and where they might be able to take advantage of others who don't know better.  I may sound like a dick, but that's the message I'm getting from your posts, especially since they make you seem similar to someone I had met a few years ago.

Not At all taken harsh I like honesty and im glade you have said as such, A contact I meet that works for a company up in Alaska said he could help me out, to get a job If I wanted to mooch of people I could have stayed with my parents but I can understand the case’s this is no longer the old times where one can go out and make a new life like in the days past, I am currently looking for work locally, however I want work, and will go where work may be, My contact London Fox told me of possible work he can aid me in getting a offer that in truth to be sounds to good, but I have had many offers in my life that I missed, I am working patiently, London fox states he can help me, he seems to show pure honesty, could be from different points of view I do not know, I have heard a mixture of things depending on the people, I thank you for your reply and do wish for more on what peoples insights are, after all its not cheap to move up there and its a huge ass move so, forgive me if I may be blunt, but unless your born in Alaska or heir to some rich ass family....to just get up and move from a far off point to Alaska spending near 500 dollars just to go and mooch of people is freaking stupid...I am willing however to pay that much if it shows my trust and determination for something that could be a life changing offer or not. I know how all what I type sounds in the long run its plain to the point however as you pointed out empty words, I have spoken to on fur already up there and he has stated my best bet is to move there Im just finding out the truth on how it is.

London is a good friend and good source of information. If he says he can get you a job, he can. Wether you are able to do it once you get here that's  something else entirly.

Oh the days when i log for just having a few hundred bucks and the cloths on my back, and hitting the road.

If you can find some one up here to put you up for two months to take a chance on you, then you might have a shot. I know that sounds kinda mean, but that's  the hard truth some times.

More to come later. just figured i would give you a quick blerp while I had the chance.
