Update

Not much to tell but i figured a pre-holiday update would be a good idea.
I am still waitressing at the Roadhouse, I honestly feel like I will be doing this the rest of my life! Sometimes I hate it and sometimes I love it, i guess its the same with everything. I met some really wonderful people and I am excited to get to know them better.

I applied for a case worker job, it is a residential facility for girls 12-18 who are between court dates. It is an extremely low security facility so the girls here are transitioning back home. More like a big slumber party with a million rules instead of a jail. I really liked it there but we'll see how it goes. I got the feeling they did not think i was old enough but who knows...

I am also considering applying for Teach For America. If i am accepted I would be relocated and teach in less fortunate schools for two years. I think it might be a life experience I need. I never went abroad and i hate myself for it, so maybe this could be an awesome opportunity.

Christmas is coming, only a few more days, hope everyone stays safe and well and I will update again soon

the perfect gift

For years my family has searched long and hard for Christmas gifts for others in the family. "What will Nana want? Have I bought this for Aunt Pat before? Will Grandpa use this?" are usually common questions asked about potential items to give. This year, I have broken the cycle, I have found the perfect gift to give my family members and I know it will be used, useful, and appreciated without question. I have decided to donate monetary values to the Salvation Army in the names of my family members so that they know on Christmas morning, a less fortunate child will get to open a gift from Santa. I have been spoiled rotten by my family for years and I feel like this is an opportunity for me to pass on the blessings I have had in the name of those who are important to me.
I hope if you are having difficulty finding the perfect holiday gift for someone in your family, I hope you consider this option. Let's help those in need and give a gift that will always be treasured.
