Today was a very special day and the culmination of perseverance, dedication, and passion. Today I walked at the 65th Annual Commencement Ceremony at California State University Long Beach in acceptance of completion of my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. I had my husband, parents, and daughter sharing in the ceremony with me, as well… Continue reading A life long goal
I remember June 1993 at Santa Ana Edison Field so clearly…I just don’t remember the exact calendar day. But I do remember how excited I felt to be surrounded by so many of my fellow Saddleback High School seniors and standing in line as we were preparing to enter the field and start our graduation… Continue reading My 20 Year Journey
I should be working on my research paper that is due on Thursday but instead I am sitting here needing to write because I feel like the emotions I am having right now are like fingers wrapped around my neck, choking me slowly. I am almost scared to put this out there because I am… Continue reading Like Fingers Wrapped Around My Neck
Do you remember those days in school or college when the professor would tell you that her/his tests are multiple choice and essay questions and nearly all the students would breathe a sigh of relief (and nearly cheer) at the words “multiple choice”? Well, I was not (am not) one of them. If there is… Continue reading The joys of school
One of the things that I’m really excited about this semester at CSULB is that I have the opportunity of being a Teaching Assistant for one of my favorite professors and classes that I took Fall 2012, Classical Sociological Theories. I know, I’m a nerd. I mean what student actually gets excited about the prospect… Continue reading “And you doubted this…?”
I realize I’ve been, once again, thoroughly inconsistent with my writing/posting so I’m trying something new. I’ve decided that Thursday evenings will be my writing day. Yes, I should be reading, studying, washing our daughters dishes, getting her food ready for tomorrow, and countless other things, yet I also should be writing because I love it… Continue reading A purse and diaper bag kind of day
The last week has been a whirlwind of emotions. Much to my surprise (and total happiness) I was offered a job at my intern place, WHW!! I honestly never expected this to happen, and especially not so soon, and I need to say it before I even continue, God truly has a way of placing… Continue reading Change and new beginnings
I can’t believe it’s already been two weeks since I mentioned that I had found the place to do my summer intern for school! If you’d like a refresher on what Women Helping Women/Men2Work does, or for those of you stopping by for the first time, you can click here and find my previous post which details all about… Continue reading The gift of giving
May is ending on a wonderful note. I could probably break this down into two separate posts but I’m so eager to talk about both things that I’m squeezing it all in one. Yesterday was our 4 year anniversary! I know it may sound so cheesy but I truly feel so blessed by the wonderful… Continue reading Closing May
I’ve missed writing and I wish I could say more right now but I’m so exhausted at the moment that all I can think of is rest. Just wanted to say I’m thankful for the ability to feel this exhaustion and where I am at this moment and that I’ll be falling asleep soon.
