It has been awhile since I have updated this portion of my blog Web page. However, I have not forgotten to update. I am going to make it brief seeing that I do not want to bore my readers, but I want to say that I have learned a lot since I have been home. I realize that everything happens for a reason, and that we are blessed for the reasons that we pursue. I would like to add that I know that upon being home I know that it is that time in my life to reveal everything towards my mother what has happened in my life. As many of you may know, there are many times in my life that I didn't get along with my parents. However, I feel it is that time to reveal as much as I can without hurting them. I have a deep admiration and respect for my parents sacrifices that they do for me every day, but those that have heard my life story have all agreed that it is a complext life story. Very few have understood the complexities that have enamored it, but a friend once coined the term "that my life is complicated not boring." I always laughed at that jestful statement.
I have learned that when we run from our problems, we not only make ourselves look cowardly, but we also find that there will be nowhere else to run. I know that it can be a hard pill to swallow, and I admit that I still have much growing up to do; but that is what our lives purpose. Since being home, I recently took my ASVAB test scoring in the Category II area for jobs. My goal is to lose 15 lbs. in the next two months so that I can move on with my life. I recenly had an illness thus setting me back from my goal. I hope to lose that much weight soon especially with the allergy season soon to set in here in Oregon. I hope that I can keep my sights high, and I am blessed for all of you who keep track of this blog. I keep you all in my prayers, even if I miss a few people, but I hope that God blesses your lives every day as much as he has blessed mine. Be in touch!
Cheers,
Tee-J Valdez
PS Many of my hometeachess are in similiar positions where they do not have jobs. Truly, our economy is in a down position.
Tee-j, you were ill? I'm sorry, but I'm glad to hear you're feeling better now. Hey, you can do 15 pounds; it'll be awesome! Aside from that, how'd everything go with your recruiter and whatnot?
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for you to have the strength you need to talk over whatever it is you need to with your parents. You're an incredible person, and anyone who sees that (your parents included) won't let anything sway them from that, regardless of what it is, ya know?
Thanks for the words of advice, Marnee. I will definitely keep that in mind! I will have another update on my blog in the next one to two months. Thank you for your prayers! Cheer - Tee-j
