I’m more than 1/2 way done! Our class has shrunk even smaller – there are four of us now. I’ve really come to enjoy these people and hope they are able to achieve everything they want to do. Â F is the only guy left. He is a hippy straight out of the 60s – loves the Grateful Dead and everyone. He’s had a rough life but is super proud that he can (and has) lived with nature for many years, helping other when he could and doing his best to be self reliant. Â This class has been a stretch for him, but he’s witty and makes it fun!
M & V are the other women, both younger moms.  V is like a younger version of me, if I had confidence to kick down doors and take names!  M is quiet but it’s been neat to see her literally come out of her shell. The first week she wore a hoodie all week with the hood up. She’s a beautiful person who deserves more than she’s currently got. And, I think she’ll get there!
I count myself blessed to have met these folks!
I think I mentioned the first few days focused on our personalities, interests and skills. Â Of course applying this to the type of work we’d like. Â I was pretty sure where I was going to focus my job search, but it was nice having that confirmation that I was going the right direction.
We worked on job applications, resumes, practiced interviewing and so much more than I could share here. Â Next week we actually start looking for jobs. Â Of course, I’ve got some resumes out there already. Â In fact, I have an interview for next Tuesday afternoon and just found out another interview will be scheduled soon for another position. I thought I bombed the test, but based on my score, I’m the 2nd candidate out of 35!! Yippee! Â And there is still another position that I REALLY want but it doesn’t even close until 9/3.
Next, we start the real searching! Prayers appreciated! 🙂
