23YO Mentee

I've joined IMPACTjax and was accepted into their mentoring program. In high school, I mentored 9th graders for the FCAT. Now, I'm getting mentored by the CEO and President of a marketing company. I've learned that you're never too old to learn. I'm excited about receiving professional advice and learning about invaluable resources.

The saying, "It's not what you know, it's who you know" isn't necessarily true anymore. Tonight I learned a new saying from my mentor, "It's not who you know, it's who knows you!"

With that being said, "Who wants my business card!"

Giving Thanks!

Each year, families get together and celebrate Thanksgiving! Turkey's all over America start looking over their shoulders.  : )

This year, I'm giving all my thanks to God. He has truly shown me the true meaning of faith, patience, hope and endurance. Some days I would say, "I'm inbetween a rock and a hard place." Other days, I was consumed with nervous energy as I prepared for countless interviews. I will admit during my discouraged times, I didn't turn to God. Instead of believing He would see me through, I doubted things would ever change. Then I started talking to my friends about the job market. Each friend had different stories and similar experiences. At the end of every conversation we would encourage one another to keep on praying, be patient and keep trying. I am thankful for my friends, who have prayed and encouraged me along the way this year. I am thankful for my family, they continued to believe even when I didn't.

Within the past week, I've started working another part-time job. This week, I was offered a full-time job. God is working and moving in my life. You can't tell me, He isn't. I am so thankful for God showing me that it's okay to be like Job.

I've been saying "I want a job for Christmas." God blessed me twice before Thanksgiving!
