Going Back!

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.
