Reflections




Last summer, I made a decision. I wasn't happy with my chosen profession. I wanted more out of life. I was in a dead end job... truly, I felt like the years before had been a bit of a waste. I'm not sure exactly when I became displeased but all the same, it happened. I decided that I wanted to go into another field. I wanted to own and operate my own business. I gave it a ton a thought and I also did a bit of soul searching. I realized that if I was going to do this, I was going to do it wholeheartedly. I left my job and began the process of returning to college. I graduate years earlier and I knew that things would be different but I wasn't worried about that, because I'd become accustomed to challenges in life. But once I was there, campus still felt like my home away from home. Sure, there were new professors and students, but they didn't make me feel like an outcast. I was older than most of the students in my classes but the generation gap seemed to have diminished as the weeks passed. I'm glad that I decided to return to college. I'm happier for it. Everyday, I feel blessed because I'm advancing towards my goals. If you want to do something different in life, no matter your age, it's never too late!!! Do your homework as well as some soul searching and step out into the unknown!

Guess Who's Engaged!

I know my personality better than most but when I was asked the big question... well I turned into that little girl that had so many big dreams about how her wedding would be. Darius and I have been together for a while. We have had more than our share of ups and downs, needless to say the majority have been because of me or a particular way I have behaved in the past. So here I am.... 35 years old and finally getting ready to take the plunge. I feel like I'm in my early twenties and starting college... those were the days!!!! I don't know what lies ahead but I have made a promise to myself to be a better person. I know that in marriage, there is no "I", "You" or "Me". There is only "Us" or "We". I won't go into the statistics on marriage and divorce. I refuse to go into this thing and thinking about how it will end. Perhaps it will be a forever type thing. I'm sure that my parents thought and felt the same things tha...

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Class

There are a lot of people that decide to change careers for any amount of reasons but for me, it was something that I had been debating about for quite some time. I have always loved working with children and helping them as much as I could but when a job goes beyond what you can offer, it may be time to think about doing something different. If you're not filling fulfilled about a job like you used to, perhaps you should rethink things as I did. I did some research about some of the classes and opportunities that were floating around my area, I came across plenty of information about Certified Nursing Assistants. It seemed as if these professionals were in high demand everywhere. I decided to look at the career outlook and path of CNAs. It wasn't glamorous but then again, what job is? I found out that classes were being offered at a community college nearby. I talked to my husband and we both agreed that it was something that I should consider. I ended up signing up for...
