The Plan
Hi again. What will I write about on my weblog? A wide variety of things. There could be postings about my reactions to a
movie or TV show I saw. I might weigh in with my opinion of a presidential election or a world event. Since my job requires
me to come into contact with a wide variety of people, I might have something of interest I would like to share with that
is related to the experiences of my job. Whatever I decide to write about, I will do my best to keep it short, simple, witty
and with linkage when needed. I hope to keep you up to date with the important stuff in my life, as mentioned above.
The job
Today I want to begin my logging. Some of you know that I am currently working for a department store. This means that I
am on my feet for 8 hours a day, working in one place, usually the cash register, and coming into contact with a variety of
people.
A friend asked me the other day what I thought of my job. I told her that I liked it and yet, there are
days when I need prayer. There are times when I feel that I have met a friend, a Family Member, and there are times when I
have met the enemy himself. I will not go into further detail than that, but I will say, that with the given information
should you ever feel the inclination to pray for me in the coming days and weeks, do so, I might be meeting the enemy that
day. SO please remember me in your prayers. Sometimes I feel I am in a daily battle when I am at work, and at other times,
I feels I am simply helping a beloved Family member, though I may have just met the person that day, and may never see them
again on Earth.
Oh I do love my job, but with love comes dislike at times. I do have a dream... a dream that
I want to one day fulfill.
The dream...
It is important for everyone to have a dream to fulfill in their life. It gives them a reason to wake up each morning and
to get on with your day. I feel that each day I spend working with the registers and the people who shop my department, I
am that much closer to fullfilling my dream. I do have a degree in sociology and that makes me one step closer to fullfilling
my dream.
My dream is to help others find a job. I want to be a career counselor for women and young adults. That
might mean a high school counselor, a junior college transfer academic counselor, or it could be that I would be a job placement
officer or something similar. I don't know. I do know that is what I want to do. I want to be a career and life skills counselor.
This means, I am no way near done with school. I have to hold a Master's degree to do this. I will be attending school once
again, this time for about two or three years more to recieve my degree in Career Counseling. I really want to focus on helping
formerly abused women find jobs. Basically just women in general...teenage moms, single moms, displaced housewives, formerly
abused women, women reintering society....
Like I said I have a dream. I have lots of dreams. People ask me if I
have a man ... no, but the dream is there, the desire is there. the hope is still there.
As I see it, with hope,
I am one step closer to fullfilling my dreams. :)
