I'm employed!
Hello, real world! I decided it was time to get off my butt and go find a job. I have always had a bad attitude about job hunting because it can be so tedious. But the best advice i ever got was in my 9th grade Life Skills class. My teacher said that you should dress up when you go in to pick up an application and fill it out there in case they ask you for an interview right away. Her advice has never failed cuz i have always gotten the job the same day I filled out the application. This time i threw in a resume just to make sure, but it worked. I'm going to be a caregiver at an assisted living facility in Tualatin. They mostly have residents with dementia or alzhiemers and they are so dang cute. I don't think most people can appreciate the tender hearts of the elderly, but God carved out a little place in my heart for them. I really love working with them, even though its hard and sad at times, they teach you so much. I love the twinkle in their eyes when they smile or share a story with you. I'm looking forward to starting, but any new job takes some getting used to especially this one cuz i start at 6:30am. Now that I have entered the working world its early to bed. I'm going to start full time next semester so hopefully i will get used to it, but its still so early. Pray for me, God is real.
