Opportunities

Hello Again,

   I would like to begin this blog by saying that blogging just once a week is going to be a challenge for me. I have so much to say and frankly I love to write, so I have decided to blog more frequently. I hope this is a good surprise to all. My goal is to have a minimum of three post a week. I am also hoping to see some comments so that I am able to have a followers response in the beginning of each blog. In order to help get the ball rolling, I am going to have a theme/ question in each blog. The theme is new opportunities and my question is what would you like to know from me. This is not only a new blog for you to follow, but this also my first time blogging. I have definitely started a new chapter of my life by starting this blog and starting college in exactly a month from today.


I have found the opportunities available to us in life are endless. I would like to take a moment to remind everyone that you are never too older or young to grow yourself in order to have opportunities find you later on down the road. It is know though that you need to make yourself valuable in order for these opportunities to find you. Sitting and waiting will get you no where. This week has been a huge example to me on how the image you put out reflects the opportunities that are thrown your way. All throughout high school, I took my academics very seriously. Due to this, I graduated in the upper part of my class. This has allowed my to go to a school that is waiving my tuition fees.


Opportunity has also knocked on the door at the place where I work. The company that I work is a partner of DECA. Since I was in DECA while I was in high school and working with their company sponsor, I qualified for a scholarship. The district manager took out all of the scholarship recipients within out district to lunch last week. At this lunch, we were informed of the opportunities with the company and were all given the opportunity to job shadow some how which does something similar to the job that we are seeking.


I have been grateful for the scholarships that I have received thus far. I am not trying to brag about them, I am just trying to be honest and tell you my journey through college and live.


Thank you all for reading and enjoy yourself.
Until next time,
Jamie
