With that kind of attitude, you will go far. Just know that everything you experience is adding to the person you are and will be, and the success you'll achieve. I was 29 before I was given even the first opportunity for a "real" job. I didn't think I'd make it, the challenges were so hard. I look back now, nearly 25 years later, and know that I'm well respected & REALLY good at what I do now. Facing & conquering those challenges are the reason I am, and you will too.

Yes! That's how I see it too...or else I'd never get out of bed! Lol! But seriously, I'd like to think that all of this is some way that the man upstairs is preparing me for my future! Thanks Charm! I really appreciate that!

Oh Chim, how frustrating!! ((((HUGS))))) So did you say you went to M.State?? My SIL is alumni there. She and her husband (also alumni) were married at the little chapel on campus. It was really neat. Quick, but neat. They gave you a time slot...LOL...at the time, there was a 3 year waiting list for a Sat. in June. She got lucky with a cancellation. If I'm mistaken, it's just par for the course....I so totally messed up Jerry and the FB thing........

Sorry Jerry, my bad again. But did I have the part right about your BF living in CA??:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Again, thank you so much everyone. Yes, apparently my dad will be okay.

I went to Thomas Cooley. It's in Lansing, about 10 or 15 mins from MSU. Lol! That's a funny story but its a beautiful campus! Thanks for the hugs!

Yup, we grew up together in Rhode Island. I was friends with his late wife and him, before they even knew each other existed. It was kind of funny, because I had a separate friendship with the both of them and not because they were husband and wife. They moved to southern California about 10 years ago, but also kept their house here. She died of cancer (yes, they both smoked for many years) 4 years ago, this December and he sold the house here and went back to California.

And he's my best friend and has been since I was 9 and he was 11. He's not my BF. :p :lol:

    Thanks Jerry! I know it will! Sometimes I just have to remind myself that it could be worse & that there are others going through the exact same thing & in spite of it all I am very blessed!

    Yep! It's funny you say that cause I've applied for a bunch of those jobs as well.

    Well you do have a wonderful outlook & you can't beat that! ;) I think you would be excellent at social work:)

    And if Deej is lurking, he's no doubt thinking there's some truth to those movies after all....

    Then I shall not mention how I am dressed or undressed :laugh: Wouldn't want to make anyone "shudder"!

    Chim, I'm a firm believer that God plans our life, not us. However, it's up to us whether we choose to follow his plan or not.

    You are an amazing young woman. Don't you EVER forget that. I am honored to know you. Well, honored to count all you lurkers as my friends. We all seem to be survivors, and understand it's attitude that determines our circumstance.
    Gawd, I'm tired & getting all mushy, so I'm headed to bed now. Dream sweet whatever Deej says....nite all!

    Thanks Dale! I'm going to keep applying until a door opens & let's me in! Social work actually falls right in line with what I'd like to eventually do which is focus on cases involving child abuse & neglect.

    Yes! I love hugs! Sending one right back at cha!!
