Life's Unexpected

     It is crazy how life changes. In my short 24 years of life, I have experienced a lot. I feel like everything in life is a blessings. Even when things don't go the way I think I want them to go, everything happens for a reason, and it leads to a learning and growing experience. In these past 24 years I have learned a lot about myself, others, and life. I have lost and gained friends. I have even been in and out of love. How crazy and funny is that. lol. I graduated from college with two degrees and two minors and I did it in 4 years. I landed a wonderful job after college, which led me to another great job opportunity in another state and I even got accepted into graduate school.I joined the best sorority in the world, and I have the best linesisters in the world. I love my collegiate chapter and I love my big sisters, they are beautiful women inside and out and they are full of knowledge and they are simply fun to be around. I joined an alumnae chapter and I am so honor to be around such beautiful, resourceful, and friendly women. I am very honor to have met them all.  God has placed wonderful individuals in my life that are a blessing in my life. And in return I hope that I am a blessing in their life as well.

     My whole life I have dreamed of moving away and being independent and exploring the world and doing my own thing. I never had a bad childhood that is just how I always been. If you ask my mother, she will always tell you that I have been goal orientated and I am not a quitter. I say what I want and I do what I say. I have been truly independent since I graduated high school. I moved out of my parents house, went to college , and I have been living on my own ever since. Not bad for a girl that was raised in Roanoke,VA in a single family home to now in the Hampton Roads area to St. Louis. Wow, I would have never expected to be where I am now. I knew I could make it on my own, but I am just happy and blessed to live out my dreams and live life. I don't have any children and I am not settle down., so the least that I can do is explore the world and enjoy myself while I can.

I GOT THE JOB!!!!

GR8 NEWS EVERYONE!!!!! I GOT THE JOB!!!! I AM SOO EXCITED.... What a blessing and honor to be considered for this job. I am so glad that they have faith in me and believe that I can do a good job. Hopefully working here for one year can open up different opportunities for me.. I am going to defer my acceptation letter to the school that I was originally going to attend this fall. But there is also another university that is in St.Louis called Washington University in St. Louis and they have the number one social work program in America. #Winning... It turns out that the Executive Director works as a adjunct professor there AND teaches classes in gerontology (which is a concentration that I am interested in) also my new supervisor graduated from that school as well. If I don't get into the school that is fine, I can attend the school that I was originally going to go to in the first place. I talked to a Soror and a really good friend of mines, and she told me to express my interest in wanting to attend that school to both my supervisor and the Executive Director, and hopefully they will write me a letter of recommendation to the school. I also found two alumni chapters in the city and I am in the process of emailing the presidents of the two alumni chapters now that I am interested in. So hopefully I would have selected one before I leave in July.Special thank you goes to everyone for their kind words, advice, AND PRAYERS. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
