My Story
Mike J. Gold, Realtor
Senior year started with a whirlwind of classes, work, and job interviews. Mina, my girlfriend was watching TV on the couch and the blinds were drawn. In the glow of the screen, I could see her thinking. She told me I was going to be a father. Everything changed in an instant.
As the TV flickered, I disappeared into my mind and the world went silent. “What does this mean for us and the future we wanted?” The past three years, I studied finance at the University of Colorado. Dreams of investment banking and trading stocks danced in my head. My senses came back and I heard Mina talking next to me, “What now?”, she asked. My preplanned future dissolved.
