Learning to Fly

All of a sudden i know I can't just hope and pray it will get better. Nothing will ever change if I don't. So it's time to start flying. There are so many aspects in my life that I'm not happy with its time to start improving each one of them one day at a time. I kinda miss not having a facebook anymore, but i think its just because sometimes i like expressing my voice. That said, i remembered this old blog i once wanted to start but never quite got around to actually posting. Well what better, its not like anyone will really be reading this old thing anyways, still gives me an outlet to vent and express my feelings and still electronic which helps with not having a journal to keep up with. 

I am starting with looking for a way to better my career. It's ridiculous I know but I finally know what field would best suit me in the business world. Now I just have to find the school I can attend online because who has time for working full time being a wife, a gym mom, learning the ins and outs of a little boy, a full time employee, and actually going to school. So here I am trying to research all the online schools with human resources and make sure that the diploma i receive will be worth the paper its written on. I was so excited at first... I knew I had found it, i even applied for the FASFA. My FASFA information came through before my application for the college came through. WOOHOO!!! I do qualify for the student grants now just to be accepted.... AND I"m in! wait... I'm in BBUUUTTT there's a catch... virtually none of my previous credits transfer through so they won't accept my federal grant money, but if I have another way I'd like to pay for my education at least until I acquire 13 credit hours and then they will accept the grant money. Excuse me?! If I could afford to pay for my schooling another way would I have actually applied for the student grants?I guess some would, I would not.  So now its back to the drawing boards and looking for a non-diploma mill education... 

In the meantime, looking for a better position. Rumor has it that there are plenty of human resource positions entry level for larger companies that don't require degrees. The background in administration and customer service may just be enough... so now I'm on the hunt for the perfect entry level position to pay more than i make now with the possibility of furthering my education and really making something of my life. Maybe if I keep looking up and doing everything I can my feet will be a little closer to take off. Kind of the first steps of learning to fly. http://youtu.be/dgjTO5eAbZY
