SKYPE INTERVIEW UPDATE

Hello readers! I just wanted to give you guys an update on my skype interview I had with the Executive Director and the VISTA Supervisor for the job in St. Louis. First off, this was my first time ever in life skype interview. (Man you gotta love technology.) The interview was about 25 mins. and I really think they liked me. I tried to smile the whole time and I thought before I answered each questions. The interview started out wonderful. The first thing that the ED said when the interview began was she was very impressed with my resume and she loved my drive to help others. They asked me some really interesting questions and I feel like I answered them all very well. A couple of questions that I answered they told me that those were the best responses that they had ever heard. At the end of the interview the ED told me that I nailed the interview and this was one of the best interviews that she has ever had. She stated that she loved my confident and my bubbly personality. A interesting fact that she told me was that ST.Louis had a lot of free entertainment and the cost of living isn't bad. They smiled the whole time during the interviews and they appeared to be impressed.A second interesting fact was that the ED is an adjunct teacher at Washington University in St. Louis. A school that I was looking at. So I was thinking in my head and I jokingly said to them. "A possible Letter of Recommendation" I said it in a joking fashion, but I was serious. Washington University in St. Louis school of Social Work is the number one social work program in the United States and they have the gerontology track that I am interested in. I don't want to get excited until I know for sure if I got the job or not. This whole experience is still very humbling and I am very thankful to even make it to the second interview. After chatting with one of my big sisters, I emailed both the ED and the VISTA Supervisor thanking them for interviewing me. They informed me that I will be notified by the end of next week if I received the job or not. I will also interview with the VISTA that is currently in that position now. But I am unclear as to if that is before I am notified if I got the job or not or after they notified me if I got the job or not. Keep me in your prayers and once again thanks for reading!!

The ABCs Of Life

I know I have been MIA for the last couple of days. I have been super busy with work. Anywho, I came across this poem, that I thought you all might enjoy it! Take Care and have a Terrific Thursday!

The ABCs Of Life
A lthough things are not perfect
B ecause of trial or pain
C ontinue in thanksgiving
D o not begin to blame
E ven when the times are hard
F ierce winds are bound to blow
G od is forever able
H old on to what you know
I magine life without His love
J oy would cease to be
K eep thanking Him for all the things
L ove imparts to thee
M ove out of "Camp Complaining"
N o weapon that is known
O n earth can yield the power
P raise can do alone
Q uit looking at the future
R edeem the time at hand
S tart every day with worship
T o "thank" is a command
U ntil we see Him coming
V ictorious in the sky
W ell run the race with gratitude
X alting God most high
Y es, therell be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Z ion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

I love Ne-Yo!!!

I love Ne-Yo. One of my favorite lines that he said during an interview was "If I don't make it as an musician, I will be rich as a writer/producer" And I totally agree, he is one of the best songwriters(next to R. Kelly.lol) out here. Its crazy that he can write songs from a female prospective,but then at the same time write a song from a male's point of view. I mean who would have thought that a man wrote Flaws and All or Irreplaceable,Spotlight, Unfaithful, and knocks you down to name a few...I perfectly believe that 88% of all of his songs deserve a video.I was trying to see which album was my favorite. I wanna say I loved every single song off his debut CD "In My Own Words".  But 2 of my all time favorite songs by him never was released as a single. But I have always loved them.

Music Monday!

I decided that I would upload a couple of music videos some old, some new. like it, love it, enjoy it.

Today all the songs are somewhat old. 1st up is T.Pain and Chris Brown

2nd is one of my favorite songs by an amazing musican Adele.

3rd. The latest song by Llyod.
