I was able to get through college by applying for students loans for bad credit, no credit score. I promised myself that I will never get a credit card, that's why. I applied for a federal state loan and luckily got appoved. I really enjoyed being in school. I had a lot of fun times with a few of my classmates and some of them have become good friends of mine. We still find time to communicate with each other and see each other during holidays. For my birthday, the 3 of us went to the beach to celebrate. We also cooked some food at my apartment. My family lives in another state so I decided to save myself the gas money and just celebrate with my friends who live nearby. I am now working as a Licensed Vocational Nurse. It pays of my room and the bills that I have to pay monthly. I have gotten myself a credit card and did not stick to my promise. I needed it for my bills but I never use it for shopping. I am not a big fan of new clothes, anyway, so it's only for the monthly bills. I am just thankful that I got approved for the student loans without cosigner – if not, I wouldn't be where I am right now. I am not saying that I am living the good life, I don't even have my own apartment. It's just that my life is so different now. Earning a good amount of money every month has changed everything. 1 Comment Mom and Dad decided how to finish a basement into a library. Everyone in the family is helping out. My role, as the family cook, is to bake cookies during the weekends, when everyone is present. I am 15 years old and I learned to bake from my grandmother. She told me how to make muffins, cupcakes, cookies, pasta, etc. I enjoy baking for my family because they love almost anything I bake. Aside from baking, I also help out in painting the walls of our library. My mother, father and a hired contractor are in charge of all the major stuff like planning the furniture, changing the floors to hardwood, deciding which furniture to buy. Because everyone in the family is a bookworm, we have all sorts of books. Children's books, reference books, novels, etc. We have almost everything that you can find in your local bookstore. Since we were kids, our parents would read books to us before we went to sleep, and it's something that we have carried all the way until we were no longer kids. The purpose of the library is for us to have a place where we can just be quiet and relax and read. Therefore finishing a basement is not easy, it is a physically challenging project, but being with the family and going something to reach one goal is really special. It just goes to show that our family knows how to work together harmoniously. I am really excited how our library will look like when it's done.

I am living at my brother's house and they have been so nice to me for the past month that I was here. They always bring me around different stores, shops and even to hospitals (for my niece's doctor appointments) just to show me how life is like around here. They have also taken me to some famous tourist spots like Universal Studios, Disneyland, Six Flags Magic Mountain and the famous beaches here like Huntington and Newport Beach. I have a friend who is working as a nurse here and she took me to see Los Angeles and San Diego. I have also had the opportunity to see Las Vegas, Nevada – that was so much fun. Now that the holidays are over, everyone is back to work and most of the activities that I do here are writing, going with my brother to get groceries and just buying stuff for the house. I now have my favoritestores, of course they are cheap stores where you can buy items in bulk. There are cheap blinds, cheap pet food and patio door blinds, even signature bags! I plan to buy things from these stores and bring them home to my family as gifts. I also enjoy watching movies here, even if a ticket is more expensive here than in my country. The movies that are shown here are of course more current and it feels different to watch a movie in a different country. _ Back in the days, models of helicopter toys are a bit simple compared to the new models of RC helicopters today.

Do not get me wrong, I love my job. I enjoy doing paralegal work and I never thought I'd say this, but I plan to stay in this job for 1 more year. After that, I will see if my boss has any plans of promoting me. If there are none, then I will look for another job outside. During Christmas, my work mates and I do an exchange of corporate gifts. We pick out a name and that's the person that we will give a gift to on December 23 (this is usually our last day of work). For the past 3 Christmases, it was me that my boss picks. It might sound odd but it's true. There must be some weird twist in our fates. My boss picks the most terrible corporate gifts singapore. She is very smart when it comes to her job, she is well respected as a lawyer. When it comes to gift-giving, she scores zero. On the first year that she picked me, she gave me an apron. First of all, I don't cook so I knew when I saw the apron that I will give it to my mother as soon as I get home. Second, the apron is all flowery and I hate flowers. Her second gift to me was 'An Idiot's Guide to Knitting'. I don't knit, so I do not know where she got this idea. Her third gift was obviously something that she got from a corporate giveaway store. It's a mug that has some cheesy quote on it. I hated it and gave it away to my brother. _ I started my Minneapolis SEO Companyabout 15years ago when the internet was booming. I could say that I am one of the pioneers in this business. I am a graduate of computer studies in a top university and I am proud to say that I was able to put my knowledge into good use. I partnered with my husband who is into business marketing and we hit it well in our business. I am a believer that one should not end up being an employee, instead, one should strive to start a Minneapolis SEObusiness and grow from there. Of course, it's not easy to build one. The financial returns were not available to us right away. Every business is like that, you just have to wait and be patient for the fruits of your labor. We worked day and night just to keep our business running. There are a lot of challenges, but now that our business is stable, we don't regret any of our decisions. I still cannot say that we are rich enough to buy all the things that we want, but I am proud to say that we can now buy all the things that the family needs. Our children are studying in good schools, none of them are into drugs or anything like that, and they have all grown to be respectful and hardworking individuals. Having a business has also allowed me and my husband to take control of our time. We can go for vacations anytime we want to, unlike when we were still employees. I am just happy that we made the decision years ago to get into business. _ My mother has been a home health aide in the US for 10 years now. She went to Santa Rosa, California, to work for a family who owns a home care. This family, the Trinidads, has been very kind to my mother. Whenever my mother writes me an email or when I chat with her, she tells me a lot of good things about her employers. They invite her for family dinners and include her during holiday celebrations of their family – their sons' and daughters' birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. They are very sweet to her and gives her home health aide training. Sometimes, when my mother sends us a package from the US, the Trinidad family sends us some gifts, too, like bottles of shampoo and lotion and t-shirts. I am very happy that my mother found them. I understand that it must be very hard for my mother to work abroad because she is away from us but she withstands the pain of being away from us just to be able to send us money for school. Another person in our family who is a home health aide is my sister. She is 22 years old and works in Texas. She is quite far from my mother but they see each other during important days. My sister also helps in our expenses and was able to have our house reconstructed. She has always wanted us to have separate rooms and that's what we have now. I am just so thankful that I have a hardworking mother and sister to support us. | AuthorWrite something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview. ArchivesCategories |
