What I been doing in my life so far.

I hope you all don’t mind me posting a lot of my writings but, I been having a writer’s block and plus, I thought you all would enjoy reading some writings. I loved to share my heart and my relationship with the Lord with all of you. I hope it encourage you all to grow closer to Him and to feel his presence, his strength, and his love too:)

I wanted to try to post a  regular blog for a change. Let see what can I talk about? Hmm…  Oh yes, as I talked about me of wanting to get my STNA (Stated Nursing Assistant) certificate soon. See I joined RTC a place that helps those with disabilities to find a job and to get their lives started in the “Real World”. Well, before I joined them I was working at Wal-Marts in the dairy department but, they laid me off:( They were just using me for the 4th of July Holidays which I only worked there for a month. After that happen I didn’t know what to do because, I didn’t have my driver’s license (which I still don’t) because, I didn’t know if I could drive because, of my eyes sight being so bad and also because I had no money nor insurance. I was really worried I didn’t know what to do until someone told me about RTC and everything so, I thought okay sounds like a great thing to try so I did.

I been with them for the past year now and we been looking for jobs left and right but, have no luck because, of this economy being soo bad. I was actually getting ready to give up until my job coach (Abby) asked me what I think about being an nurse assistant and I was like “hmm… I’m interested in that because, I love helping people) So, she’s like that would be a good job for you since you love helping people and making them feel good. So, we talked to my case worker Kathy which she is the one that is incharged of setting things up and everything. Well, she talked with me and said that she’ll pay for my schooling and on other things for me if I’m interested in this kind of career and I said yes!. I had to tell my family about it and my sister went to my meeting with me to set it up with Kathy and everything. And that encourage my sister to look into doing the same thing too because, she loves helping people too. Although, the money will becoming out of her pocket since she’s not into the program like I am…

Anyways, my sister and I was going to take STNA classes together because, I didn’t want to take them by myself and we thought it would be great to do it together! We had to go and take this Work Key Test where you take  on the computer. It’s to test to see if your math, language arts, and reading level is right for STNA or whatever nursing you want to go into. Well, unfortunately I didn’t passed it:( I started my math test and I run out of time because, these tests are timed and so I failed it:( That day was a very disappointing day for me until, I was offered a free program called ABLE were people come to refresh their memories on their studies, or it’s for those that want to get prepared for the next Work Key Test because, they didn’t passed it the last time, or it’s for those that wanted to get their G.E.D’s.

I went for it! For giving a great opportunity to go into something free that will help you improve on your learning and everything it’s a blessing. I been going to the program everything Thursday for 4 hours for about couple months now and, I am learning a lot! And fast too. It’s awesome I really enjoy it! I also been making a lot friends there too:) And I been taking online classes too, which it’s called Key-train where they help you on your math, reading, and language arts skills for the Work Keys test too. The ABLE program teaches 1st grade through 12th grade level which, it’s nice that their doing the whole works:) Anyways, that’s what I been doing in my life besides, enjoying being an aunt, helping my folks out, and also I studying to get my driver’s license off and on. Which I found out I can drive too!:) Which is awesome to hear! Only thing is I will have strict driver license where I will not be allowed to drive in the dark. It’s fine with me lol. Anyways, there’s an update on what’s been going on in my life:) I’m sorry that I wrote a huge blog. I guess my writer’s block went away;) Well, thanks for reading and I hope you all have a great weekend!
