Ok, So I guess you can't consider it "going back" if you have "never been" but who cares. I AM GOING BACK TO SCHOOL! Or more properly put, I am going to college. I have fought it for ehhhhhh about 2 years now. I didn't want to go, I felt like it was a waste of time and money for what? A social life and get a degree that was for what? With the help of my ever faithful sister Sarah, I figured that I am finally ready not because I found a degree I want but more so a job that I want and so now I know what degree to get to match that. It worked out perfectly for more reasons than I thought. I was young for the class I graduated for so technically I am right on task. Going to nanny school was perfect. I can now have a job to pay my way through school and to also give me security as I come out of school. I won't have to worry about getting a job right away etc. So if I actually have any readers out there, you are probably wondering what and how this came about. I will back track.
Earlier this week I ordered my first pair of "Tom's." Super exciting. They are a shoe brand and was started along with a foundation called One for One. I highly recommend supporting them. For every one pair of shoes sold, one pair is given to a child in need. Anyways, I was puttzing around their site and found that they have an internship program. The jobs range from web design to human relations jobs. The one that caught my eye, PR. I cannot even begin to tell you how badly I want that PR internship. However, you need to currently be in college or fresh out. I now have a goal and a reason to spend the time and $ on a degree. My nanny schedule is more than perfectly set up for me to attend some community college classes during the day and have my evenings to work. I have the perfect set up for it. God had a plan from the beginning... Seeing in unfold makes me stand back a little in awe.
Those of you who have talked to me at all in the past month know how I went on and on about being 19 stuck in a 24 yr olds world. I would complain about wanting to do 19 yr old things and have a social life yadda yadda yadda yadda. Well guess what people? I am going to be 19 and go to school. I probably won't have time for a social life nor be able to do "19 yr old things," whatever that may be? However, I am gonna do what I need to be doing. If you can't tell, I am a little excited about all of this. Please pray that it all works out according to God's plan. I am in His hands. Always have been and always will be. To HIM be all the glory and praise. Amen amen, I say to you AMEN!!
If this is what Joy feels like.. I'll take it over happiness any and every day.
Proud of you, Gracie. You'll be glad to have that degree!
